Oil prices
oil did not cost $61pb back then, almost double that if my memory serves me correctly.

New Emirates Routes
I would have posted this in the Emirates forum but for some reason unknown to me I am denied access to the page; so I post it here:
Can anyone confirm new routes Emirates will soon be flying? Where? When? I heard Vancouver, Canada to be one of them.

I would imagine you are denied access to the Emirates forum because you don't work for Emirates, or, if you do, because you have not given evidence of this fact to the forum moderator.
Sorry, can't answer your question about new routes, but I thought I'd clarify the access issue anyway...

Emirates unhappy with the A380
The Australian newspaper has published this about Emirates being unhappy with the reliability of their A380's:

"burned electric cables"
Probably from all the electrical fittings in the first class suites they've built
And as for missing cabin fixtures, maybe pax are nicking the gold fittings?

airfoilmod,
In round figures Al (avoided that one
) has a Specific Resistance about 50% higher than Cu so, if a 50% increase in cross section was used wouldn't that result in about the same temperature?
Melting temps are: Al 660C & Cu 1083C
You'd still achieve a weight reduction because the mass of Cu is 232% that of Al.
I can understand Al being a bit trickier to fit.
Above from my old tables: 1904 Revised 1957

Just tactics
Burned cabling? That was due to their showers in the first class? Destroyed interios? Passengers taking souvenirs. Engine Faults? If you read the german article you'll notice it is about panels - most probably ground handlers not being careful enough or whatever ... if the plane works for SQ and QF, I rather see the whining due to:
"A source close to Airbus told AFP on Thursday Emirates was seeking a delay in the delivery of several of the long-haul A380 superjumbo jets because of financing difficulties. "
So it's all part of making some noise in the market to get better conditions on their renegotiations ....

Aluminium is vulnerable to corrosion. If you have bought an A/C one inspection is for this very thing. Aluminum in the presence of salts or dissimilar metals will degrade. It is unlawful to wire a home with it and furthermore, Wiki as a source is bollocks. What it does do is protect itself by oxidation of its outside layer, scratch that off at a terminal and corrosion begins, I can't believe AI used Aluminum cabling.
