Wonder who'll report sick for this one!

I love it - those Canadians can't hide!!!!!!!!!!!! Flying into SEA makes a lot of sense (as far as I know, JB doesn't serve Canada yet). When will they wake up and understand that denying their citizens competitive air service to the Middle East in an attempt to shield AC and its weak product just won't work? Other big airlines worldwide compete with EK on the basis of their own quality service, alliance loyalty points and route frequency, why can't Air Canada?

Why should EK post their new routes unless they're red herrings......
EY and Qatar are just waiting to see where to fly next! Baghdad anyone?
It'll be a last minute announcment and then we're off, dropping older routes as no crew or aircraft to fly them. I guess we have about 8 months to get back the 3rd daily SYD again, or we loose the slot.

EK was suppose to start second GRU in Oct 2010. Station manager in GRU already had the green light. Then all of a sudden double daily IAH and LAX. Apparently something to do with GCAA being downgraded shortly meaning no new or additional flights to the US for EK or EY. Guess EK getting in before the door closes. I don't see any new flights to the states for at least 18months.
What I hear is more additional flights to Europe and South America. Kiev and St.Petersburg at the top of the list.
EK use to do Ho Chi Man, but pulled out due to low demand.

Just a thought !
Probably Amsterdam Double Daily . They just changed the flt. no (EK 145) to EK 147 . Management tends to do this when they are introducing a new flt.!

Bring it on! Canada hasn't looked too closely at how bad the days of Qantas protectionism hurt development, now QF competes, makes a profit and was forced to adopt some "industry standard" protocols, AC is losing ground with passenger service and standard as did QF, time to compete, keep the toys in the cot and get smarter. not reactionary.
Mind you.... the way the sand rats play bully boy is still pretty archaic and counterproductive.
A lot like the way they drive really....
