I agree with both posts; what Emirates has done is extremely impressive. They have managed to create a superlative brand (the breadth and consistency of their lounges is a good example) and are my favorite airline, even with some of the inevitable devaluation (of frequent-flier benefits) that has occurred lately.
Agree with you and Anxiousone.
Ek is out to eat lunches of the likes of AA and BA. BA has services to many parts of the world where EK is encroaching.....although die hard AA BA fans will differ.

There will be arguments about State funds subsidizing their ops. Legacy carriers have many faults and anchors attached to them that will slow down their acceleration.
