[QUOTE=Timbo;1386824]Didn't someone we know just buy 49% of a Britt airline?

Did Emirates put up a fuss?

Follow the money.



EK currently has 120 77s, 40 a380s. They want to grow the A380 fleet to over 150 by the end of 2020. They do all this with huge govnt support. Their's and our's.
As a result those guys are not worried about what we do.
Delta is still in the proces of getting synergized. We are profitable,great. RA doesn't care about growing,as long as he has JV's and code sharing.
Now Tim you are "stuck" at the top of the seniority list. I am a 14 year fo stuck in Atl. Can't hold 330/777FO,let alone 717A.
I am glad to be working for a profitable airline,but seeing Emirates growing is very frustrating. Directly affects all of us. And that's including AF/KLM pilots.
That's why I'm glad guys like ACL are working for us now,so we can maybe slow these gulf carriers growth down and level the playing field.
Thx
