Rub it in Ek's noses... LOL. I actually got a good chuckle from that comment. That return to stand comment was priceless!! As was the not buddy enough ofr anything bigger.
Let's be honest here... I have 3 friends working at QR and notta one is happy. In fact all three, continuously ask if there is any chance they can jump ship to EK.
As for the 787 these days... not much to brag about these days. Novelty has worn off.. and the repetitive battery issues haven't helped. I honestly don't give it a second glance whenever it taxi's by. Takes the FO to say something before I even realize it. Although I'm sure the technology on it quite nice, it looks like a mini 767.
