Good light hearted interview but for a supposedly well versed entrepeneur, Emirates, FREE fuel??? really, that myth has got to go to bed. Do some homework. Even the allegation of subsidised fuel????

The EK fuel bill has grown so high that there was no profit share last year in light of the fuel prices.
Aeroplanes tanker fuel back from destinations where the price is lower than Dubai for the next service.
Pilots are 'encouraged' to avoid extra uplift to comply with a very tight Fuel Policy.

I do admit that labour cost in DXB is cheaper than OZ but that is buisiness. Everybody looks for countries with cheaper labour...even the big Q.

He is right about AJ though.
