We'll see. I still believe their appetites are larger than their stomachs.
There is a word that is not in the vocabulary in these parts and thats
sustainability. I hope for everyones sake that EK's commercial people are as good as everyone says they are . They believe they can do anything and that everything possible. Arrogance or brilliance ? Time will tell. I see the potential for a huge bubble , given the types ( unit size both 777 and 380) ,and infrastructure required at airports ( particulary for the 380) etc. Also the increased protectionism and growing anti EK politics. Its going to get interesting.

On this issue I really would like to be wrong.
