I got the cancellation email today. I am absolutely confused as to why they decided to go with JNB, and SYD, leaving JFK, YYZ and SIN in the dark. If they are having financial difficulty, or decided that now is not the best time to spend on such a program, it would only make sense to a logical person that the entire program be cancelled, rather than following through with 3 more cities, and cancelling the last 3. I'm having serious issues with the logic behind Etihads decisions and behaviour. And I would love to hear from them as to why they decided to do what they did. Just sending an email professing the cancellation of 3 cities without any decent reason (financial downturn is not good enough when they cancel less than 50% of the program) is not what I expected.
Just my 2 cents...
