This of course means that the formation of unions, proper pay negotiations, respect for labour laws and basic human rights and so on must/can take place at the place of employment and the airline just can't ignore that.
Reading these forums I just cannot simply believe that an Arab airline is going to put up with Western labour laws and their associated effects on their operation so they can base their pilots and save money - unless the cost savings are so substantial.
WHAT?! Are you suggesting Emirates et al are using despotic regimes with non-existent labour protections and lax regulatory oversight as competitive advantages?!
WHO KNEW?!
