Wow...nolimitholdem...are you talking to me? If you are, then reread the post about QANTAS actually making a profit DESPITE EK's attack on the Autralian market. Then read (again) about how AC is howling about 2 maybe 4 new markets for BOTH UAE carriers and claiming they will lose market share...then after you have fully understood the post, try your rebuttle again. At the moment, it looks to me that you shot yourself in the foot, and emptied the whole clip before your gun cleared the holster. As for what part of the world I live in and how much I know about the airline industry? I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you! If you aren't talking to me, then have a nice day...I've played 45 holes in the last two days, and need to have a nice cold one, it's warming up here!
