[Arabs] will let the business suffer badly before they give in or lose face. It's their nature.
Oh dear!
Mana, all of us who've worked in the Middle East have at some point or another come to the realisation that to an Arab, loss of face is virtually an intolerable insult, and that when loss of face happens, it's basically 'game over' and the 'I WIN-YOU LOSE' mindset then takes over to the exclusion of any other reasonable and/or sensible course of action or compromise that the Arab can take to resolve the problem.
So exactly what point are you trying to make?
How many Aussies in EK? About 100?
Cheap shot Mana, but probably as good as we can expect from you.
