fractional,

It might be that: "The colour of the money, neputism, total indiffference among many other issues are much more relevant". But fact of the matter is that
  • they have now been spending money like no tomorrow for close to one and a half year without having achieved anything else than a fancy office set-up,
  • staff being hired and fired,
  • number three CEO trying to launch the airline,
  • number four VP Flight Operation (number three is back home according to a post on this thread),
  • number three VP Training (think number two left a month ago),
  • pilots checked out on the B737-300 they bought and sold again before it even came close to the UAE,
  • the same pilots given a B757 type rating,
  • an aircraft sitting on the tarmac in RAK leaking hydraulic fluid (I read on this thread), or a troublesome thrust reverser,
  • flashes in UAE newspapers telling the readers when they are going to launch their services,
and they are still not flying.

If there is a Board Of Directors or something like it. Do they not ask themselves why their airline project is dusty and not shining. If there are investors. Do they not care.

The only ones that have gained something from this are the pilots who got a B757 type rating on their licenses. Problem is that they might have to pay out of their own pocket for the next sim check
