EL(every landing) AL (always late)
big deal. at least they do a great screening job, bli ayin hora.
I don’t think EL Al cares, for you have to remember they get there in one piece. And you know those vicious black boxes that all the other air lines are afraid of EL Al welcomes them, yes the Tefilim that the men wear at 600am for prayer.
Seriously, if one airline is going to come in last for being on time, would you have expected it to be Lufthansa? It’s called Jewish time for a reason.
