I think the best bet for emirates is to stabilise Glasgow and Newcastle first or the three of them will regret it.
I think they need to get GLA up to x1 A380 and x1 777 and NCL up to x2 777 first. If GLA is already being affected by EDI-AUH/DOH, I think EDI-DXB would knacker things up for a while
Leave it to QR and EY to fight it out
