Guess your appliction was rejected. Sour grapes!! Somebody should smack you upside the head!
Any chance your dad was an AC pilot?
EK's increased presence in Canada will hurt all Canadians and not to mention the transatlantic and american markets. No to Emirates!
How does providing more access to the world, access that AC will NEVER provide without foreign codeshare partners, hurt Canadians? Bringing more tourists to Canada? Allowing Canadians living abroad better access? Is it hurting Aussies? Brazilians? Americans, etc, etc...
The airlines you mention are all already based in countries similar in Canada in the ways I mentioned. Some might disagree but last I checked Britain and the US are still forms of participatory democracies and thus bear more than a faint resemblance to the way things are in Canada.
Blatantly ethnocentric.
In other words, comparing BA/AA/UA to EK is pure bs
You're exactly right...ask the paying customers.
