But nope, no one's tired, nope nope, nah...lol
Classic straw man argument- say I said something I didn't and then argue against THAT.

Yes people are tired at EK and it needs addressing- Just as the FTLs in North America need addressing after things like the Colegen crash. Are you saying fatigue is NOT an issue in operations such as the US regionals? The idea that Canada should restrict EKs access to Canada because of crew fatigue (and that WAS one of your arguments) is ludicrous when a four man crew in North America can operate legally for 24hrs straight.

As to the "Demographic" , what exactly are you trying to say? Because only the Canadians who want EK services want EK services, their wishes should be ignored? Or is it that brown people aren't "really" Canadian?

As to the Australian market, it might be worth noting that all the Australian airlines are profitable in spite of a much smaller and more liberal market. Why exactly IS Air Canada such a basket case when it operates in such a protectionist environment (Hint- almost ALL airlines lose money when they work in a protectionist environment!!)
