Hi outhouse
If you were with Gulf Helis more than 2 years ago, then I'd expect you'd think all these negative comments were "a bit over the top". However, the tables have turned, big time. Gulf Helis now has a local GM who quite plainly states that he wants to Islamise the company. Even the Admin Manual now states that the priority for hiring is:
1. Qataris
2. Muslims
3. Others
His plan to save the company from all the engineering departures is to fill the hangar with engineers from Nigeria and Egypt.
In summary, with one of the engineering management team just about to resign because he thinks Gulf Helis' engineering department is untenable, the situation is dangerous.
I understand that, if you need the hours or the money, this will simply be seen as scaremongering and you will go. This is normally the case in this industry.
Good luck.
