ANFA what you say could have some credibility, but how about this scenario...
FD pick up all the crap night turns that EK does thus freeing up 330 and 772 crews/aircraft to do other things, including operating all the new 777s that you covert so much. No need to retrain to EK procedures or have the hassle of HR transfer, COS etc. Sounds more realistic to me.
Thanks for joining FD and making this all possible.
