Reading the report and on cultural stand point, there are some inaccuracies on the first column. The rest seems to be all right, but I need to have the time to read it carefully.
... Gulf Air reduced frequencies and capacities to and from Dubai by more than two thirds between 1984 and 1985 without advance notice
(Wilson 2005). Since foreign carriers proved unable or unwilling to fill the
gap, the Dubai’s then ruler,... Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, convened a team of experts
Wrong! The Ruler was Shk Rashid Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum.
... and the ruler’s then 26-year old son, Sheik Ahmed bin Saeed
Al-Maktoum – to devise an emergency plan...
Wrong again. Shk Ahmed is not Shk Rashid's son. At least not the name's (bin) sequence and lineage.
And, is this true? I wasn't here then.[QUOTE]...The new airline should meet the highest quality standards
and there would be no additional capital injections from the government other than the agreed USD 10 million start-up capital...[QUOTE]
Regardless, Dubai and Emirates are still a good place to live and work.
