Seems like ET is following in its main rival's KQs footsteps in expanding its presence in key Asian markets such as BKK & CAN.

Quite the contrary ... KQ seems to be following ET, as those ET expansions you mentioned actually took effect back in October 2007 along with added service to other destinations in West Africa and the Middle East. ET's summer schedule is yet to come ...
