I agree tbat EDI is hugely unlikely on the face of it, given the excellent points made above. However Emirates do not behave like a normal commercial entity. They gave MAN a daily A380 and another morning A330, they are putting a B777-300ER into Newcastle, DAILY! The sheer number of A380s coming will release more B777s for growth, and they have just added 90 to the Boeing orderbook. It would be amazing if EDI failed to catch Emirates before 2015 I think.
