The major Gulf carriers won't be genuinely LCCs. They'll however work on operating low cost expenditure in human and material resources with 2 or 3 exceptions.
They will always have a high expenditure on ADs/
PR and first/biz classes’ product/service and an "elite" top management class because they claim these guys are pivotal to the companies' successes. Each one of us has his/her own opinion on the real results of such strategy. In my humble opinion, the top notch just earns far too much for what they really produce.
I don't think, in general terms, my reasoning is wrong.
