There's an interesting piece in todays Gulf Daily News (and probably in the other Bahrain papers).

Jimmy the Roo was talking about Abu Dhabi's pull out from the partnership and the plans to take account of that.
Essentially they are looking to making Gulf Air a two-hub (Bahrain and Doha) operation.
I have no idea what this might mean in terms of sheduling, route sharing, flight crew hours etc. It would be interesting to read what others think.
I like Gulf Air. I fly with them regularly and will do again next Tuesday LHR to BAH then on to BKK after a 2 day sojourn in Bahrain. I hope the Abu Dhabi pull out will not hurt them too much.
