EK got a very good price for the initial batch of whales, that point also taken. Additionally they got some deserted white tails for a free few months. But that's it. The rest is myth and smoke and mirrors.
Why? Just check who owns a respectable bunch of EADS shares. Yeahhhh, it's the cousins down south. Do you really think they would continue to subsidise EK? They helped them get a critical number of whales, so they would not turn back and stick to the gargantuan expansion, but now they will reap what they saw. Why do they wait so long to get the same d:ck-extensions as EK? They might know something and wait until matters are more economical, or they buy time to not even take the guzzlers, or in smaller numbers. EK is good testing ground that even pays to play guinea pig.
That said, i close the loop with my opening argument. I think the cousins are a lot more involved and we are trapped in a no profit share vicious circle.
Once again dear fatbus, i do not envy you and the other super flyers. I simply would appreciate a compensation for inflation and a promised raise each year, not to speak of the promised share of profit. That is right now taken away by higher powers.
