Thanks Contacted, Trader, and 'Foz.
So, if we (the UAE) CAN actually offer two destinations to Canada, then why are we (EK) NOT already flying into Curry... uh, Surry, (YVR) and coming back here or going to Richmond (YVR as well), and heading to China or Hong Kong with that bunch?
Have we maxed out the frequency? Will the policy ever change? Can it?
I mean, if we are bleeding Oz and NZ seemingly effortlessly for their precious business, why not take on Canada?
Even with the present schedule we could fly over to YYZ or YUL, do a "shuttle" to Cuba on the weekend flights in the winter, and still come back with a full load to DXB!
How about we build the Canadians a new airport? Pearson is still small and the space that housed the abonation that was once Terminal Two is vacant...
"The Em-----es' Tim Horton's Terminal", housing the world's largest Timmy's, would look good there!
We could turn coffee and donut jockeys from TH into ticket agents as well. No sense in lining up twice! Get your boarding pass and a double-double at the same time!
To save money we could simply embroider a golden "CREW" label on the back of their TH uniforms! We could even buy our own stylish shirts at the company store for 250 dhms or on the street in BKK for 50 baht!
If the donut shooters also handle baggage they could work longer shifts. Hell, they could live at the airport, like the crew, who will live on the plane!
TPB Trailer Park Boys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia could do the grand opening with Rush!
Just thought I'd put those ideas out there.
