I don't think he's worried.
After reading for a few years on PPRUNE, I have seen many pruners desribe QR as a low cost company. Whether it be for treatment of crew, pilot benefits, memos, pax handling, etc., there are numerous threads that relate QR to the low cost market. You may judge AAB's selection of words to describe his opinion of LLCs in the Gulf, but he's not that far off the truth..
