And just what has MCC to do with 'parking aeroplanes up'? Their job is to fix problems on the line.. I imagine if anything's being parked up it'll be under 'base' maintenance!
Besides with new routes and new aeroplanes I hardly think that anything will be parked

It is a misunderstanding from pilots side, that MCC fixes problems in the Line. For this U have DXB Line MX. Like something else unusual in EK, MCC is for Outstations only and general overview.
This sorts out several issues. Profitably absorbs excess capacity and three older airframes scheduled for retirement. ACMI for one year followed by dry lease will also utilize flight crew (lazy pilots) who are sitting around only flying 90 hours a month
I would love to see how the management sell this one to the pilots. " Your contract is based in Dubai therefore you should live in Dubai and not try to commute. However if you do wish to commute you can have a Dhaka base"
Was a bit target-fixed on a Featherlite arrival myself t'other day, though turned into a baulked landing. Luckily was below the Landing Climb limit weight.
