ET is a different story as one of only 2 successful African airlines (with SAA), and a 85 % + ratio of intra-African pax not going through ADD or, on the contrary, connecting there. It really is "ET Avoid Home"..., which I fully understand having been there way too often.

really ? who are these "many" ? anyone apart from you ? I have never seen this particular rumour before perhaps you would like to provide a source ?

Can I assume you will be petitioning OW to kick JL out of the alliance on the basis of the JL350 crash in 1982 when a pilot with a history of psychiatric problems put a DC8 into Tokyo Bay with the loss of a number of lives ? or does that crash not fit in to your conspiracy theories ?
