You exhibit so much anger and naivety at the same time, been following this thread silently for a while now, yes EK might be slave driving but the fact remains that they command a huge share of the market currently with the reeling aviation sector, much more considerably than Air Canada, how many Canadian families depend on EK vs families in the ME depending on AC, most legacy Airlines are trying to get a piece of the pie in the middle east and Asian traffic, so the chest thumping of how you are the first world doesn't change the facts as they stand currently, it's highly unlikely the Canadian government will restrict it's airspace for EK, as much as you wouldn't like to admit it diplomacy is the only way out any embargoes on EK only serve to hurt both parties.
Oh 'flying Indians all over the world' that's laughable, immature and a bigoted comment, how many airline you know have survived by flying only their native citizens, AC would fold within a year if they were to fly only Canadians around the world, last I checked India is the second most populous country in the world hot in the heels of china, two markets any airline would kill to break into, and seems EK has done a pretty good job in doing so apart from being strategically located.
Hope they get a solution to the nasty situation soon.
