EK to Boston

Surprised that it was Boston as the newest US destination from March 2014. With the Eastern seaboard already well covered with DC and New York, and Boston ranking only 21st amongst US cities by population I would have thought Chicago/Detroit/Miami/Atlanta would have been the next to be announced. No doubt soon?

Hey don't pick on pilotday, he only admitted to staring at men's genitals the other day. Little steps at a time.

Wow, looks like i've really struck a chord with my t-shirt comment.

Glad I could help.

Anyway, what's the source of the $1.5 from Massport to EK?

wow...Massport buys the route (by subsidizing Emirates costs) to expand it's revenue and Canada still can't figure out how that actually works...passengers equals revenue...my teenage kids could figure that out...but Harpers goons? I'm speechless...good for Boston! (Although if anyone mentions the Bruins...the gloves will come off! )

I'd like to thank Harper's goons for not spending taxpayers money to subsidize a foreign airline.

LEFT coaster...sounds like an appropriate handle.

May I deduct then that you do thank him for spending such on the domestic one?

If you are going to waste taxpayers money, better in home country than on another one.
