Isn't it great that reality can be amusing as well.

Do you have any idea what happens on key routes to Asia at the moment ex LHR, FRA or MUC?

Probably not, hence I agree that a discussion is somehow pointless.

BTW, EK does not even disagree, those routes are one of the few where they do not have to discount heavily and/or make all seats available in non-flex el cheapo booking classes. @:-)

They love MUC to Asia, one of very few city pairs that actually works for them.

And you know what, MUC loves them as well, because quite some people spend heavily in the terminal building.
