Let's see how commercial will do in the real world. Here in the sand they have no unions, no government agency watch dog, no rule of law and of course slave labour with nothing in their contracts that are worthless anyway.
The reason EK does so well is that their labour cost are 13% of budget. There is no other airline with that low of costs. The next closest airline in the top 50 is about 23% of budget.
Yes some big changes are coming to the sand but I have no idea when that time will be.
