Possible loss of cost control oversight (skimming ) extreme sponsorships etc . I always feel we only see the tip of the iceberg , what we experience is only a microcosm of general malaise in all depts . .... oil the devils brew .! . Dxb is not as diversified as we are led to believe .
Jack, but mgmt had the silver bullet. Pay
PR firms to hire lots of social media workers to promote their views. Pay travel agents, bloggers and YouTubers to build and protect brand image. They are bleeding the company.
EG 95K, EK 55K for 200 planes, 30K non-core but you will never see anywhere EK has bloated workforce. Above mentioned keeps EK out of such discussion.
70% network wide load factor, but all cheers if EK sends a A380 to Samoa.
Give free upgrades to make look premium cabins full.
There is no way out of it. The day EK stops spending $3.2B to maintain image they all will turn against it.
