Well, I thought they were kidding when they said SIA was their model to go after. Looks like not only did they take the business model, they have perfected the management style too. ( I especially found great similarity wrt attitude towards crew ).
Sorry to digress so much, but the one big issue staring at my mates over in EK: FATIGUE.
Let's hope that they (the management) won't learn it the hard way. My heartfelt respect for folks holding up nicely still by maintaining present safety level.
