Kudos to the UAE for not giving away passports; and rights to its land (and oil).
Kudos to Capt Paul for publicly standing up for what he believes in.
Kudos to the government of Canada, and other nations, that stop or limit the amount of slots made available to foreign carriers.
It is impossible for a privately owned company to compete with a government, especially a rich government.
I'm sure EK's interest in Canada is to simply help the Canadian economy and to create jobs. After all, isn't that what big business is about? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they have 44 wide body's arriving in 18 months, and no where to send them.
The EK die hards have no problem with the UAE government supporting them, but seem to have an issue with the Canadian government supporting AC. Strange...
Peace in the ME.
