ok maybe irony is the wrong word - hypocrisy maybe.

AC funneling pax thru their hub to India ex-USA while crying about others doing same ex-YYZ via their hubs

Yes, protectionism, is an indirect subsidy to AC. I m not getting into the myth of subsidies to ME airlines, but there is an awesome read in the EK forum right now http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/emira...cial-scam.html

Good luck to AC, maybe 3rd time is lucky
