Hmmm, what to say about the statement re not wanting to fly EK because of their crews? Firstly, I do not fly for Emirates, but have a good handful of former colleagues and friends who do, and as a measure of my respect for the work they do, I will say to you that I would put my family and my old self on an EK flight anyday. They work harder than most but the standard they keep is world class. In most cases I would deem it better than in most of the Legacy carriers as stated by the TRI who posted above. (Granted, he'd better say how good it is!) I make no comment on any of the other claims about subsidies or level playing fields etc, that's another thread as far as I'm concerned.
