How to run Gulf Air
Most of the posts above comment on BN\s experience in running an airline.
Well, with Gulf Air you need 2 skills
(i) How to run a business
(ii) How to deal with the Board - this involves all the black arts and Machiavellian, relationship management that is required in this part of the world and when dealing with such directors. It has very little to do with business ability
You can probably stuff up (i) a bit and still do the job. If you cannot do (ii), then you will fail
