It's a lot easier to survive if you have a government that supports you with a bottomless bucket of cash, no work rules that you have to adhere to... ya know.. small things like that.. But it's a level playing field.

Trying to pull my chain again, there T? I ain't biting. BTW, check out the cash Dubai has on hand. Selling assets right and left to pay off Abu Dhabi from 2008. No chapter 11 available for the emirate and Emirates. You better hope that Emirates doesn't get sold to Abu Dhabi with an unlimited cash flow from oil. They are buying up percentage chucks of airlines around the world like Air Berlin, Alitalia, and Iberia. Who's next? And Turkish? Highly unionized, new huge airport opening. The world's a changing, with regard to airlines. Probably wouldn't like it if I were in your shoes. Oh well, I did take the bait, on second thought.

Kind of typical american arrogance response. I've ridden on a lot of above mentioned airlines, much better than Delta.

DELDA's.........that is freaking funny. For those of you that don't see the humor, say it very slowly, out loud, in a deep voice. You will then laugh aloud.

For even better effect, add a number, i.e.: DELDA's TooSemdeeSem (277)

Of course they are. They have unlimited resources, no labor laws so they can keep their employees afraid for their jobs... etc etc etc...
