Look deeper than the surface
Emirates will never open a base in BNE.
They would have to follow Aust. union and trade practices. The minimum wage for a international flying f/a endorsed on multiple aircrafts in Aust. would be too great.
Like every airline in the world at the moment.
Singapore, Cathay, British, United, Emirates, American & Qantas etc etc are going to tell you the same thing : to quote CEO Cathay Pacific (World aviation is under greater attack then September 11th, More than 100,000 jobs will go in the next 12 months, to be quite honest current times are the worst crisis Cathay has had to face since it started, we are in a world airline rapid decline with 5 bankrupt airlines in 6 months)
Good luck, but can't see it happening at the moment
