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.
They can afford to fly those 380's all over the world, at 50% capacity, with the price of jet fuel in the Middle East.
What is it up to now, $0.50/gal of Jet A? 
Add insult to injury, isn't EK subsidized by the Royal Family/Government? I'm unaware of this fact, just asking out of curiosity?

I don't need to be preached to. I will vote no unless 20% and scope changes. I'm saying a TA comes and everyone you fly with says it won't pass and it passes. Example why did we vote in the last TA after we got NW. It was the same TA we just got and DALPA told us we would get a better deal once NW was with us and DALPA brings us a TA with the same stuff with just minor gains. Green Slip and SC from 8 to 6. Vote that down. Its passed. Thats what scares me.
There can be no shortage of union "teaching" or we will never learn. How do you learn except to ask questions and get answers.
BTW I think you are setting your bar low on pay.

Just talked to them....because the trip is one day longer and comes back on a day that reserves required = reserves available they deny it. Every other day of the trip has mega reserves available. I'd be operating a trip that essentially alleviates them of possibly one reserve being called and its denied. Whudda thunk?
