I don't think the ME carriers will ever have a US base. Anyone based here would then have the right to unionize which they don't in the ME, and that threat will keep the bases away.

It is nuts when you look at Emirates fleet.

A343: 4 being replaced by A350
A345: 9 being replaced by A350
A359: 50 on order
A351: 20 on order
A380: 47 plus 93 on firm order
772: 3 being replaced by A350
772ER: 6
772LR: 10
773: 12
773ER: 93 with 59 on order

UAE population 9.2 million.

Did that trigger our review of 757 rates but since we make more than AA/USAir and UCAL it was a moot point?
Per section 3 B.4?
Yes and yes

The words replacement have been and will be in every order Delta makes so you're not going to like any of them.

They must not have gotten the memo on capacity discipline.

Capacity discipline is only needed when you have competitors in your country, and your king isn't giving you dirhams to help you crush foreign infidels.

They don't worry about flying a bunch of half empty widebody jets around the world. Last week on the way to Dubai we heard one of their A380's checking in with ATC at FL400 just after exiting the Nat tracks over Ireland.

You gotta be pretty light to be that high, that far out. (about 7 hours out of DXB)

I'd like to know what their system average load factor is, and what their "Break Even" load factor is, or if they even have one.

Keep them coming. I am sure you guys can find more negative things to say about Delta ordering aircraft. You're not quite up to the usual level of doom and gloom but close!
