There's been one lonely voice from the other side of the world protesting about what the UAE carriers have been doing for a while now.
While many guys have been supportive, have met with vitriol from some apologists, who no doubt profit from their turn at the trough.
Companies such as EY, EK and QR lower the bar for everyone else. Nothing but more flying with longer duty hours and a smaller safety margin will result. The long term consequences of this is the destruction of established airlines such as Qantas, who are unable to compete with the upstarts.
