I guess we'll just agree to disagree then. You won't convince me though. By the fact I've been here at EK for 8 years now I stopped judging by western standards long long ago.
To say there is "no management" is rather ignorant. Wouldn't you think it would be just the opposite, they would be probably working extra hard to make sure they keep things going. You have to admit, other than the Lira, THY has done a pretty darn good job overall. I've been in the biz for probably longer than you've been alive and have seen economies ebb and flow along with political consternation and even bankruptcies, yet things continue to chug along no matter what. I think you'd be surprised at how resilient airlines can be even after years of upheaval and turmoil.
And Thank goodness it's not like Dubai…. that's why so many of us are leaving there (EK) to come to TK!
Have a good one furb.
