Neptune Spear: Wrt "Where is the GCAA?"
It pays well to remember that the entities within the GCAA are employed by the same entity that we all are... and therein they too, more often than not, have to 'toe the party line' wrt any agenda set by those much higher up than they are, and therein they too walk a parlous tightrope of often wishing to 'do the right thing' (and they often do, and they do it well too, imho!) versus receiving somewhat 'differing' instructions from those further up the command chain.
And in case you're not aware of it, the hierarchy works as follows, wherein just one v.senior member of Dubai royalty holds all of the following positions (amongst his other positions):
Chairman of Dubai GCAA
Chairman of Emirates (EK)
Chairman of FlyDubai (FZ)
Chairman of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE)
Just sayin'....
