Rollingthunder;
Not that I am supporting this move on the part of the UAE gov't expelling the Canadian troops, and not like your point has anything to do with it anyways...
I would like you to clarify a point you are trying to make. You seem to be saying that what Emirates wants to do is to fly pax from Europe to Canada in 380s, then move them from Canada to elsewhere (or in Canada, whatever) using smaller planes, 777s let's say. And you say Emirates has done this in other places in the world. Really? Any examples? Because I've been flying for them for 2 years and I have no idea what you're speaking about.
