Nor are SFO and LAX full...at least not inbound. Outbound from DXB, sure they are...everyone trying to get out of Dodge.
Canada has always been a left-wing, protectionist country- and has the ecconomy to prove it!!
Trust an Australian EK apologist to be an "expert" on another country's economy!
It's a bit ironic that EK points to Australia as an example of why they should be allowed more access to the Canadian market while they're eating QF's lunch!!
I actually think it's great the Canadian government is telling EK to "pound sand"...as Trader stated very succinctly, EK has far more to gain than Canada. Emirates is just whining (and propagandizing) because they can't just ignore the agreement like they do with other ones they are signatories to. Like, oh...ones with their employees?!
