We should invest heavily in Emirates for several years then short the crap out of them when their little housing bubble order book collapses. There is no way the whole world will fly hourly 380 service to every city in the galaxy which is what would have to happen for them, plus Qatar plus Ethiad plus the rest to get their massive growth order books.
The only thing that they really have going against them is their middle of the night ops.
My friends that live in South Africa use them to connect through DXB to America.

Their housing bubble burst the same time ours did. EK is becoming more and more of a connecting airline. Geographically speaking they are the best positioned to serve everywhere but North America. Europe is eight hrs and the East Side of Australlia is about nine to ten.

Anyone know the minimum amount of time we would be given to vote on a new contract? Does ALPA have a minimum in the bilaws?

Their plan was three more cities in the US this year.
Not sure we will see cabotage but so far their demand is outpacing their growth. One hit to them was airbus did not give them the mtow increase on the 380 they were damanding. That will keep the 380 off of the western US cities.
