If you say so. :rolleyes:
Year round TATL LCC service will fail until the backpack is willing to fly TATL year round. There's about a four month annual window for an LCC to be profitable. Beyond that, TATL routes are bloodbaths for LCCs.

Their "issue" is persistent low oil prices don't allow the princes to fund the flying clubs masquerading as world class airlines. They are, and always have been, "hobby" businesses for a few elites.

Without a huge rebound in oil prices, I would expect a lot of aircraft available on the used market, and several dozen 380's mounted on sticks in front of dozens of the worlds aviation museums.

That might be a fantasy, but it is mine, and I like it.

Aviation isn't their only problem, their dwindling oil revenue is putting their countries into a deficit situation....cannot happen to nicer people.

Exactly. Imagine Qatar Airways being able to fly into every city in Europe to every city in the US with premium product at a reasonable price. The value in NAI is the regulatory structure that allows them the lowest possible taxes, least regulation and ability to fly virtually anywhere in the world with staff from wherever they damn well please (like the country they own, where they make the labor laws)
