Thanks for setting me straight mate
...sorry about the ex-Air Canada ref. Bit of a clanger, eh? I obviously mis-read the post.
Having cut my teeth out there, I'd have to agree with you that TGE stand the best chance of getting off the ground out of the three.
Sharjah???
Still doesn't compute my friend.
You can take all the money you like in this world to start a LCC even in the Emirates....you still need a passenger base and SHJ is sorely lacking in that regard.
Being CDN myself, I'm well aware of the number of CDNs at EK, QR, and GF. Let's not forget KA. TGE simply pales by comparison to the aforementioned. Right?
I'm still waiting to see a major down sizing at EK (including flight crew). Eventually, reality will overcome ego and someone will come to their $en$e$. While I sincerely wish them well, (it's a fantastic airline) it is one airline that simply doesn't add up. Despite awards. Again, you have to carry the right number of fare paying passengers to be a success. Despite the
PR job they like to do, "I'm from Missouri". EK loads have always had me scratching my head. Finding reliable financial info on EK is like finding diamonds in your back yard. It takes a lot of digging and disappointment.
GF is being dismantled fostering disatisfaction among crew. This will eventually reflect in service as human nature takes it's hold.
GAMCO is starting a new airline in AUH. (WHAT????) More problems for GF.
Three LCCs in SHJ?? Won't work. Full stop.
At a time when the world is watching certain behaviors and events in 'that part of the world'.
Cross your fingers and wish them well.
I still say it won't work. IMHO
Sorry.
