It was a tongue-in-cheek hypothetical, not a serious plan - I only wanted to highlight that DXB's rise to the top of passenger number tables is on the back of connecting traffic through DXB, mainly on EK, and that other airlines I don't think are basing fleet deployment decisions based on pax numbers at DXB, as NOIR implied, since other airlines will mainly be servicing O&D demand given the lack of onward connectivity...unless another airline alliance were to move into DXB and turn it into a hub for them as well
