dear oh dear ..... looks like AD has either played this very wrong, or he's planned this all along.
As well as the cabin crew and pilots all deserting the GF ship, there are plenty of expat managers that are now walking as they feel unsecure at GF. Contracts are not getting renewed and those who have contracts up later in the year or even next year are upping now as there are plenty of jobs around.
So, the crew leave and the expat managers (some good, some indifferent) go, so what do you have left ... the bahraini's running the show (that's after the omanis run as well).
Now GF run by bahraini's ..... good luck AD as you will need more than inshallah to run this sinking ship.
