Compulsory?!
Is this some sort of arcane management torture technique now being employed at EK HQ? If you don't hit your margin targets we'll make you read every post and single page of this thread and write a briefing note on it? Or a spot test on pursers on flights ("explain the lease securitisation structure that enables you be on the aircraft you are standing on, you have 5 minutes")?

To the senior EK lurkers: if my calculations are around the right ballpark, if you could leave your revenue and cost internal data in a file in the Concourse B F lounge sometime in the next couple of weeks (maybe in the kids zone), I'd be interested to see how close or far I was :P We can do it dead drop style, and no one will be any wiser...
