Now now pop,
No need to start waving it around claiming it's bigger with regards to how long you've been on PPRune. Especially since "DOJ" on PPRune only reflects my current identity, not past ones... and if anything that only makes it seem a little more daft that you're getting all bent that someone would *gasp* post rumours on a rumour site...
Back on point, as much as I hope you are correct, your entire argument seems to be based on opposing speculation (which is what I consider the financial reputation of any Middle East company to be). You cannot on one hand say that none of us would ever know what truly is going on, but then so completely buy the financial reportings of EK as gospel. Bit of a logical disconnect.
As I said, hope you're right. But the only statement I truly agree with is that with these secret squirrels, we won't know until it's done.
