That headline I posted reads 'Emirates airline vows "sledgehammer" reply to U.S. subsidy allegations.' Something broke in the posting software!
Lifetime boycott of Dubai and Emirates ! Sorry don't care what Bulldozer you drive, They have a reduced fuel bill to start - come on wake up America !

Well they didn't need to merge with USAir
