Compressor stall, if you knew anything about China, you would understand that Emirates is getting the same medicine that is always handed out to foreign institutions that are sucked into doing business with China, and Yes, that includes Qantas/jetstar and Alan Joyce.
Sunfish, China introduced a punitive demerit system a while ago. Qatar, Ethihad and the all the American carriers have continued with an aggressive expansion strategy into China now. They haven't seen the punishment dealt to Emirates. Additionally, there have been cases of smaller Asian carriers given a similar punishment for similar occurrences.
Cathay have continued to benefit out of China, where is their punitive actions?
I think you are drawing a long bow....Packer even had a local involved!
If Australia and DXB adapted a similar policy, I think the MEL and DXB accidents would have delivered a similar result....
