It seems that companies there are not expected to oporate in a transparent way, and those who raise concerns are arrested or worse.
I wonder therefore what the safety culture is like at these airlines.
If we were discussing Qatar and Qatar Airways, this would be applicable. Seeing as we are discussing Emirates only, I don't think there is much you can read from what happens in Qatar.

You were the one talking about subsidies and how all airlines used subsidies to survive. The comment then was, well if all airline use subsidies, why is it a problem for the ME3? You will note the "if" in the previous sentence. How you are seeing this as posters agreeing with you that, yes you have changed our minds and we agree with you, I don't know...
The problem still, other than words from your side, is that you haven't backed up anything that you have posted with articles that we can read to make up our own minds. The US3 paper isn't a credible source to show that EK is a scam. We do have IAG that commented that the paper is not accurate in its representation.
So please tell me, who should I believe. A poster on FT telling me he is an expert and I should just trust him, without any previous posts linking articles to prove his points (about the discussed topic, not woman's football or Qatar and FIFA). Or IAG, who are in competition with the ME3 at the same time as all other airlines?
