Well, for one they get it from the backs of the pilots and everyone else that has been squeezed for their last dollar...

They have taken delivery of 14 new airplanes year over year since January 2009 and have hired a net gain of 10 pilots. 10. 10 pilots for 14 more airplanes. In case you wonder how that works? It's easy, just work every one already on property to death. And by eliminating overtime pay, you do it for free.

That's where the dirhams come from.

Welcome to Emirates.
