Stratosphere6K, then GF would have to have bans imposed on them from God knows how many different carriers, not only in the region.
Like you, I also plan for worst-case scenarios, but if GF would even try to take a step, like the above mentioned, they would loose all credibility.
Okay, GF does not exactly have a solid reputation to them for making sound decisions, but to do something like this, would make a lot of guys (myself included) prefer jumping ship, and instead applying for a job as a schoolbusdriver in downtown Cairo...or Basra.
I might even get away with only signing a 12000 BD trainingbond over 3 years, to drive kids to and from school morning and evening...
