Geez Joker 10..........

[the] Hyundai of the skies
That's not very nice!! It's funny though!

Still, when the 'Hyundai of the skies' is the preferred option of the Gulf's rapidly-becoming best-known (and least-liked) 'bogan' Akbar Al-Baker at Qatar Airways, then I guess it's not a bad description!

You gotta give the 'Hyundai of the skies' credit though! It's provided evidence that it can produce some REALLY REALLY durable models, as has been proved time and time again from some of the the severe in-service operational 'torture tests' that some of those poor airframes have been put through over the past few years by some Gulf-based operators!

Maybe Volkswagen, or perhaps Hummer, or even D9 bulldozer of the skies is more appropriate? After all durability seems to be the key issue here!
