"The sad truth is that some like Ironbutt and sal-e think that things work normally in this disfunctional airline, it also probably thanks to them that this airline is in the state it is in!"
Fagina and AwSS,
hmmmm....rather harsh accusations....dysfunctional airline.....thanks to the likes of us....!!
The COO had publicly invited those with issues to an open office for discussion. It has actually happened, and with results. Why don't you just take him up on that and try to prove him wrong? Bad experience from previous managements? You can not assume every management to be like their predecessors by default.
Emails are being answered promptly. CVRs are being replied to.....like never before.
A reasonable package is being formulated....one that is line with the cost of living index of Bahrain....more importantly, one that won't bust the bubble of a GF trying to recover.
Options are to leave or stay. I am obligated professionally to stay for a reasonable bond period. I shouldn't be wrong by doing so....and it has nothing to do with the fear of rocking the boat, Fagina!!
To be honest, I like it here. Nothing wrong with that either, is there?
There are better paying options south and east that could've easily afforded the bond balance. In fact, I was to be on the very first batch with EY because I more than exceeded their criterias. Decided against it in the end. Reason? I trully like it here, especially these exciting times.
GF will recover from this, mark my word. They will re-invent themselves, change the way they run things, and continue plodding along a new path until they get it right and until they re-establish themselves as a major player in the region.
The evidence of GF's need for recovery surrounds us. Bahrain is economically powerful for it's size. It is a financial powerhouse in a lot of countries' eyes, especially in the region. They're certainly wiser about investments because they're not resource-rich like their neighbours. Building projects for business and leisure continue endlessly. These obviously need to be filled. This simply means growth to me. And GF is an integral part of that growth.
There's nothing more thrilling in the aviation industry than being part of an airline that pulls themselves out of the proverbial ashes. Because it doesn't happen often and I have a lot of faith that little 'ole GF will.
You, on the other hand, don't even know that a task force had been formed for the purpose of voicing our concerns. I'm certain IB plays a part in that team. And what do you mean no one was informed about this group? They even mentioned it on the GDN (out of all places)!! Please, get your head out of your @rse buddy before mouthing off your bit.
The crap you've posted here is just that. Crap! Maybe you should take your crap to some other poor airline to put up with. Because I agree with the IB. You trully are dysfunctional to be hanging around people who are a lot more hopeful.
