The shower/spa
The value traveler isn't able to walk through that cabin.
It's just like people that say "Foreign flight attendants are young! American flight attendants are old!"
Yeah? Well, if your mom was a flight attendant in most parts of the world, she would have gotten fired when your daddy knocked her up.
It is (superficially) awesome because (a) state money and (b) no labor laws.

Exactly.
Plus we're talking about a country that has a Bugatti Veyron (among other high dollar cars) police car because apparently they can just poop out money. Now I've never been to Dubai, but most reasonable people report that it's a glitzy facade with very little substance. I know they're comparatively liberal there, but I wouldn't take my wife and daughter to live in that place.
It's clear that they're not running that airline on commercial profit alone. A380s with showers and private suites and bars ziping all over the globe to serve a tiny gulf state seems just slightly absurd. But maybe I'm not completely informed on all the data.

Okay, looking at flights in March of next year, a round trip first class ticket LAX-DXB is $30k. A first class ticket on United for the same segment (with a stop in IAD) costs less than $9k. How can they even make a comparison? Why are they even making TV ads for people who can justify $30k for a round trip ticket? Does that demographic make purchase choices from TV ads?

So you now have a personal issue with this actress because she took a role pointing out the loss of luxury in flying?
Considering she's taking money from a country that doesn't treat women with a great deal of respect and has the potential to damage the industry I work in, I think it's fair to criticize. I didn't have any reason to criticize her before today.

Fair enough on the treatment of women issue (you didn't mention that in your OP), but I fail to see how it would damage the industry.

How can US carriers compete on international routes when their competitors are funded by their governments? They don't have to be commercially profitable when that kind of cash sustains them. Check out ALPA's Open Skies data.

Oh, so you mean it will be detrimental to your EMPLOYER, not the INDUSTRY. I understand now.

I'm thinking something analogous to outsourcing. We don't want to see the airline industry turn into the shipping industry where the bulk of commerce is handled by foreign flagged ships and crews.
But, you know, I guess I'm biased.

Even if they are foreign, they are still part of the same industry. I now understand what he meant. If you want to continue following the pedantic thought I started, I'm game.

Those foreign flagged ships and crews are still part of the shipping industry.

It will decimate the United States Airline Industry.
