Look at Emirates !!
Hopefully you are correct, but consider US Airways PHL-BHX summer offering a few years ago. Failed to perform in the first season, and never seen again.
There's a big difference between Emirates and United. The latter has greedy, impatient institutional and private shareholders, who view 6 months rather than 5 years as long term; Emirates has no such problems - just some Sheiks and Emirs to keep happy.
