Definitely challenges. In amazed at my neighbors complaining about what seem like fairly reasonable air fares across the ocean, or anywhere. They'll pay more to park their car than to fly to Florida and ***** about the ticket price. I usually end it by asking them what they paid and what did they think that they should pay.

Anyway, I digress. I don't know about the other me3 but Emirates is starting to show some cracks including aircraft order several. It's pretty hard to find a sustainable business model in the passenger world these days. Now it looks like our big boys are going to try the economy minus thing of four themselves. You can't be all things to all people. Give up on the schlepers and do a better job for the rest of us. This will probably work as well as when ups tried to haul pax.
