1. Ongoing recruitment, maybe on hold for summer but this is July so it will resume soon. Some new joiners going straight to 330/340
2. New aircraft to be decided in October.
3. Property is the cheapest in the Gulf. US Navy families are no longer in Bahrain so that kept things under some control. There is a lot of hooey talked about rent in Bahrain. If you look carefully you can get a villa for around 450BD. No matter what you rent you will have to susidise the allowance. If you want to know the definition of High rent just look at UAE, 3 times Bahrain.
