And you don't think that a limited amount of competition from an airline not involved in the recent fuel surcharge price-rigging scandal might help?
After all, virtually every major airline offering transatlantic service to/from Canada was implicated in that scam. We are told that it was only their cargo divisions that did it, but things like this typically get signed off from the top by people responsible for both sides of the business.
Bringing EK in might bring some discipline to an oligopolic market. No?
