The fact that you compare EK in Australia with EK trying to get a foothold in Canada only demonstrates that you really don't have a very strong understanding of the industry. Yet you conveniently link situations when it suits you and ignore the ones that don't support your opinion.
Not exactly a strong position to debate from. Have you ever even lived in the Middle East or traveled to Australia? Or you are you just repeating an argument you heard someone else use that sounded clever to you. Just curious.
