Lest some humble reader of this thread develop the notion that "representation" is universally seen as a boon, may I point out that for many of us it's absence is one of our favourite things about EK.
Luckily it's against the law here, but should things ever change I would lead the charge against. Have a look at what is happening at Air Canada right now and I think you will see how easily it is to be represented right out of existence.
I'll just kiss my Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher icons now and be off to bed.
Play nice...
