It's worse than that. While the self-employment model is still illegal in France, UK, and Germany, the East was forced to adapt and made it actually legal in several countries. Capitalism only works if bending the rules is being punsihed and we seem to be beyond the breaking point on that one.
If not stopped it is a butterfly wing effect. Imagine Wizz setting foot in the gulf and FlyDubai / AirArabia being forced to tighten their game down to their level, what'd be the knock-on effect of that. A domino effect across the global ex-pat pilot market (*). And thus eventually nowhere desirable to go after a local market collapse, a closed, force-feedback loop into the atypical employment models of the bottom feeders. Against whom Vueling need to exist from the business perspective, rinse and repeat!
