"Local GCAA regulations are undermined, maximum duty times ignored – it is all possible, because the chairman of the GCAA is Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum as well."
Not true. For once, can people get it into their heads that Shk A is not the head of the regulatory authority - he is the Cjairman of Ek and the head of what is effectively the airport company - it's just that thr names are similar. Do you seriously think that the FAA would have allowed EK access to the USA if there was such a conflict of interest? No...
