The FO did mentioned the city. But he said nothing is official yet until announced but it's more than likely it's going to be Miami. Of what he heard.
The Captain told me something similar. He said Miami is the next top choice for Emirates in the US. He said it should be announced this year, if not early next year. What he has also heard is that Emirates is waiting to receive a couple more 77W to upgrade a 77L route (like HND), to send the 77L to MIA. He said MIA is a clear candidate for a 77L as it should be launched with. He also said DFW's 77L could've gone go Miami but that 77L is going to a current route.
He said he hasn't heard any other US city being added soon. But he suggest it's EWR and maybe ATL.
I asked about a tag on to MEX. The Captain replied saying "If that were to happen, I would think MIA can be a top option BUT I would think they would be looking at a current route somewhere in the US to start MEX"
I also asked about another South America route, Captain said CCS and BOG are being looked at. They are top candidate but not for another possible 3 years.

If you don't believe, then don't saying anything at all. I know what they told me.
I'm not making any BS. I'm saying what a couple of Emirates pilots told me.
Seems like you don't like MIA. Weird right? I think not!
Oh and by the way. I'm from Boston. I have nothing to do with MIA. So just keep that in mind.

I do not believe for a moment that an Emirates pilot has confided you that Mexico will be started via the US, because there is absolutely no truth to this "information."
And your entire story about a reshuffle of B77L capacity is no more than a rehash of some of the lines you have been coming up with over and over again.
We get it ... you believe that EK should start MIA yesterday. You are entitled to that opinion, but do not pass it off as a fact. Let the facts come straight from the airline. For the time being there is nothing to report. Live with it.

Yawn ... You may want to revisit the 58 posts you have made on this forum and check how many do NOT pertain to MIA. It is for sure a much shorter count than those that relate to MIA. And while you are at it, take a look at how many of those posts were FACT based rather than a representation of your own wishful thinking as facts.

Why do you think they will suspend flights to Kiev? They have already reduced from daily to 4 flights per week, they do not overnight the crew and the loads in Y seem reasonably healthy (biz not so much but steady and First almost non-existent).

"An Emirates Spokesperson: "Due to the ongoing political uncertainty in the Ukraine which has resulted in weakened demand, Emirates will suspend flights to Kiev from 1st August 2014. Emirates' bookings for travel to Kiev from 1st August have been closed for sale with immediate effect. Any passengers who have booked to travel with Emirates after this date will be re-booked for travel on an alternate airline. Emirates apologises for the inconvenience caused."

This is not my opinion; it`s official:
"An Emirates Spokesperson: "Due to the ongoing political uncertainty in the Ukraine which has resulted in weakened demand, Emirates will suspend flights to Kiev from 1st August 2014. Emirates' bookings for travel to Kiev from 1st August have been closed for sale with immediate effect.

I'm quite surprised by this - loads are always strong but this is a huge capacity...
