hey leftcoaster,
trying to sound cool with "I'd tell you but I'd have to kill ya" isn't really an argument, unless you're eleven years old. The spelling of such words as "Autralian" or "rebuttle" doesn't exactly bolster your case either, I don't generally debate with the functionally illiterate.
But, wearily, my points are thus: comparing the Australian market with the Canadian one is only displaying your ignorance to the world, as is trying to suggest that EK was only looking for the pittance in market share you suggest. Guess again. I don't know if you're just misinformed or willfully spreading nonsense and frankly, I don't care.
It's all moot anyway, for the time being. Emirates-be-gone from Canada, for now. Long may that continue. They're gonna have enough problems recruiting to man their delusions of grandeur anyway, but that's another topic for another thread.
