EK still generates significant revenue so wisely spent it can be a turned around. Question is how Emiratis/Mueller take control back from Brits and Indians. Traditionally, Emairatis treat sub-continent folks badly, but at EK British/Indians are treating everyone else badly. I still cannot figure out how these relationships formed.
Timing is perfect because most of the British
PR/media/fans who would be fighting this from outside are reeling from BREXIT vote.
Mueller never stood a chance at MH because Malaysia hired him just as a face saving measure and not to fix the company.
I wound't call his MH gig a failure.
