Thanks 67D, finally someone sees a differing perspective!
For the record, I think the closure of Camp Mirage by the UAE is unacceptable despite the fact that the UAE has been trying for 11 years to get more slots but to no avail. I'm sure the decision wasn't taken lightly, but it was childish none the less. However, Canada wants to ply its goods and services to the Gulf, but it appears to want to give nothing (or very little) in return. Hardly seems fair now does it?
engfireleft, you mention that Canada has a healthy Airline industry? That HAS to be the funniest thing I have EVER read on this Forum! Are you completely insane?
Hey desert, I'm glad I make you chuckle, but instead of laughing, why don't you post something of value for a change? Just a thought!
