Maybe I wasn't clear. Station manager in LA was told by VP commercial which it was relayed to us by the station manager. Is that clear now?

Think you'll agree though etops, that something doesn't quite add up here. Looking through TRIPS towards the end of the year, the 380 is doing all the current flights it operates in addition to MEL,AMS. The EK29 seems to be back on the T7 for the winter. All current indications are that there will be a manpower increase on the 380 in the next few months, including upgrades. That doesn't equate with losing half the fleet?

Second CPT, an A345 flight. Gone 1st Sept...... back 1st Dec, still on the 345.

As for MAN. Quoting the groundstaff as they can always be believed !!! Plan was firstly to replace the 332 with a 77W on the morning flight, which is obviously happening, then a 3 class T7 on the afternoon flight iso 2 class and finally an A380 on afternoon flight.

And to finish the day....some good news

Ammended UAE-JAPAN Airservices Agreement just released...

From June 2013 Daily Dubai - Haneda and 2nd daily NRT approved for EK.

Hopefully a chance to have a frostie one in Ripongi without dealing with 3 hr round trip to NRT

Refer to my last post... AGAIN Who exactly told you this? Was it the

Told by the LAX station manager that EK is going to return 11 A380s
or the
The news of those 11 380s going back was from the mouth of VP commercial whom was in LA last week
I can understand that you're confused... After all - you do drive the John Deere

It's NOT clear - firstly you quoted the LAX station manager; then the VP commercial.

Splendid! That means 2 380 to MAN per day! How I love to chill at the 'Romper' with a cold pint

Which part is it that you do not understand? How many station manager and VP commercial does EK have?

I've already made it clear that I wasn't all that clear in my previous post and since have clarified my own post.

You are just someone that is pedantic and no, I am not sittingly...does the plan or the impending rumors has hurt your ego? Frankly I don't give a rat on what they do with the plane. An airplane is an airplane and I was only posting what I've heard.
