Call to Action... Our futures

[X-rated]

I don't think UA carries pax between BAH and KWI, it's just a stop to pick up more pax on the way to IAD and vice versa. British Airways and KLM do the same, hit a couple cities with one flight instead of using 2 separate planes. Obviously these airlines can't fill a plane to each ME city, but the ME3 airlines want to offer unlimited flights available to those sand pit cities, in exchange for unlimited open skies to the U.S. and Europe. They use the sand pit as a connecting hub, and the other airlines can't fill up separate planes to separate cities there. Can you see where that might be a bit unfair? They want the World, but can only offer 3 or 4 extremely hot and humid cities in the desert.... It's not worth it. But, they sure can sponsor a lot of "football" clubs.....(how many tickets do they have to sell anyway to sponsor those clubs??)

Nope. Try again. They are not just picking up pax. You can buy roundtrip tickets from BAH to KWI and back on UA981 and UA982 both operated by UAL. So, I'll ask again. What's the difference between what UA's doing in KWI and what EK is doing with the MXP service?

As for EK using DXB as a hub, how is that different from what BA does funneling international pax through LHR? (For example, SFO-LHR-DXB?) Or, What about Cathay Pacific SFO-HKG-DXB or Lufthansa through FRA?
