If Amedeo goes bust, what's the bet EK buys it for a buck and gets free 380s?
Are we assuming that Amedeo goes bust
after taking delivery of 20 frames they are unable to place with any customer, presumably parking them in a convenient desert having written the cheque to Airbus? Whilst that assumption is exceedingly preposterous, let's for a moment go with it.
EK could probably pick up such a company for a single buck, provided it then also took ownership of the debt. That's not what I would call 'getting for free', though.
But the basic assumption is still absurd as well as, perhaps, showing why it's frequently a daft idea having pilots running airlines.
