Observation:
Is it just me or does the UAE seem to attract more than it's fair share of failed airline management from other countries? It seems that managers who have failed in their own countries and would never get another 'senior' position back in their own countries suddenly pop up somewhere in the UAE. They then make a real mess of whatever job they are employed to do in the UAE and then disappear leaving a wake of destruction behind them, seems like RAK is a real magnet for them.
