EK will never fail! The titanic will never sink!
I do recognize the sarcasm, just wanted to underscore it by reminding that all empires crumble and fail eventually. And the collapses tend be sudden, unexpected, and spectacular.
I have no doubt that EK is about to announce some crazy massive profit for the financial year. And somehow that just brings to mind the completely out-of-touch emperors of Rome boasting about the eternality of the Empire, while the hordes are right at the gates.
WAKE UP in the bouncy castle! Stop sniffing the sweet scent of each other's own BS and realize that the company is far more vulnerable than it appears. It's already incredible how quickly things have declined in a short period of time.
