Recollect that it was TCK who promoted the 'cost neutral' scam.
TCAS has not had an original thought in the last 18 months. Or if he has, his contract with TCLARK requires him to keep schtum and not rock the bean counters boat.
Is EKs commercial department better qualified to manage Flight Ops than the experienced aviation professionals who are employed primarily to endorse the cost saving schemes produced by middle and upper management? Probably not. And those cost saving schemes are designed to line the pockets of the same managers with fat productivity related bonus's.
If Captain Ed really did say that the new Boeings are going to be parked up in the near future, then, other than LL, he is the only honest person left in the Ops Centre.
