One thing I do know is that Emirates, Qatar and Al Etihad are heavily subsidised, whereas GF is lightly supported in comparison.
I know business is business, but if AUH and Oman pull out, GF can happily roll on when Bahrain is coining it at $50 a barrel. But what happens when that runs out?
Don't get me wrong, I've got many mates in GF, but there are some right tossers there as well, and we know who they are
As an aside, the "saboteur" purser wouldn't have been an issue if they hadn't pared cabin crew to the bone. Talking to the crew this week, they are sick and fed up of hearing complaints from the passengers about slow service. But what can they do?
Must do a lot for employee morale. Not to mention customer relations.
Cheers,
