Slowly Slowly
ASA, DFS, NATS, Serco
While change is a good thing in a lot of ways, especially in FIR's that need "attention", sometimes the best way forward is a slow approach from within.
Serco has been in Bah for donkeys years, they have the reputation, trust and inside knowlege of the locals, and therefore are in the best position to make change, albiet slowly.
As Andre Dose discovered with Gulf Air, you can bring as much positive thought, structure and organisation with you to the ME, but the ME is NOT A NORMAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. If you challenge the local "management" with outside ideas you will instantly be met with a brick wall.
DFS will end up butting heads with every local yokel in the place, ASA dosn't have the experience in the ME or the staff, and NATS have thier own problems at home to sort out.
My money is on the long serving and loyal Serco, as Tin Pusher says "better the devil you know".
