Come on...that's too harsh!
Many Bahrainis were eagerly waiting for this program to start.

Guys give us a break from negativity.

"Guys give us a break from negativity."

If they do start MPL as Welco intimates, I look forward to your positive posts!

Mike.Park & gilderoy lockhart

Don't put my words out of context!

Saying that

"GulfAir/OAA/GAA/Mumtalakat/Tamkeen/BDB = Messy & unnecessary"

is totally unfair and presuming failure of the program before even letting things happen and yield some results! That's a negative attitude!!!

At what point did I presume failure?! I said it was messy & unnecessary.

Nobody wants to see young Bahraini men & women sinking in debt because of broken (and sometimes false) promises.

From the beginning you looked so much against GAA and the other stuff..or at least you looked not happy with it...unlike all the 300+ guys who ahave applied for the program!! what's the matter pal???

You know what... I guess you were invited to the assessment but couldn't pass..may be!

When I told guys that there is a bad smell in that new GAA, some of you attacked me!
Now the milking just started, the website cost is just example of it!
Good luck!

It was no less designed and implemented by a few IT pro's from India. If there is one thing that Indians should not have any connection with is computers, especially IT.

WELCO you said "GAA has nothing to do with the training department at GF"

Looking at the map on the website, the GAA facility seems to be in exactly the same place as Gulf Air's training department!

I think the colocation is down to the fact that both GAA & Gulf Air share the same parent company (Mumtalakat)

Well, GAA and the training department at GF are closely tied to each other, or even interchanging.

The above statment is true only if you are a "speculations fan"!!

Up to the minute, GAA is not overtaking or replacing GF's training department by any means. Could this happen in the future?? I don't know, I only care to share facts not fiction! And the fact here is that GAA officials have mentioned in the media something about plans to offering advanced training to GF staff BUT they are not ready-to-execute plans. Things will take time to develop.

Since Mumtalakat is the owner of both GF and GAA, I see nothing wrong with the map! If you've ever been there you will notice that there is nothing carrying the name of GAA officially. The only visible proof of existance of GAA is few scattered "paper signs". So don't forget the "under formation" trace! No rush.


I think when the "careers" section in that website is open, many things will be clearly understood.

Apparently they are on the final stages and they have been informing applicants over the phone whether they were successful or not

''25th of June'' was the last date to get in.
