I love your statement, "Here again go the pilot "I can run an airline better" bs", and then you provide an input as to why EK needs the aircraft - practise what you preach!!

Yes, it does have a requirement to use the aircraft, but only to certain destinations - that's why the A380 hasn't sold so well to other operators. Check the load factors and yield between 2015 and 2014, you may find it informative - I'm sure you can you read a financial reports!
