Life after AD
Ok so AD leaves soon, so who will run the shop? All indications are that it will be a Bahraini (remember AD was the compromise choice between Oman and Bahrain).
A couple of posters have said that Bahraini's can run GF and site Air Arabia as an example. Err have a look at the Air Arabia management team. Out of 10 top team, there are 4 arabs.
Take a closer look and the only one I know who is Bahraini is Adel Ali. Look at Adel's background and where did he get most of his experience and grounding - BA !
Fact is that a local GF Bahraini ain't going to make GF work. They will need a non-GF Bahraini. The Bahraini local will have been trained up by a top tier airline, probably has a good job already, so why would they take up the poison chalice?
GF's screwed !
As I posted months ago, GF RIP.
