Back to the management.
News in the airline management world (who are all watching the destruction of GF in disgust) is that AD will be out by October - that's when Oman pulls out.
AD was the compromise candidate after Oman and Bahrain failed to get their respective choice.
He know's that and hence why he's not to bothered if it all goes pear-shaped.
AD's brief over the past 2 months since Oman announced their pull out is to make the company ready for substantial Saudi investment (like the rest of Bahrain, if it weren't for the Saudi money, there would be no Juffair, World Trade Centre, Seef, etc, etc).
The Crown Prince for all his huff and puff won't put a penny into GF or any other Bahraini cause. He just want's GF to be reasonably clean (hence the ethicspoint website).
