No FD, No SRS, cool it, mate!
The matter was proven, as there was a witness who testified against the new Captain, and our new Commander has been charged. Leave it to the management to decide the punishment.
About the Training - well, if the Training let him go with doubtful standards, then it is their problem, and they should be accountable.
As for Bahrainis - I think that they are as good or as bad as others in this world. As a general standard, they are not as good as the expats, but then the expats should remember the weaker lot in their parent airlines, those that did not get out to become expats! They should not compare the average Bahraini pilot with their own standard - it is a tad unfair.
Trust me, each airline has their share of the idiots, the non-CRM, the non-procedural, the non-compliant, the non-non-smoking, the ......... lot of pilots. Gulf Air and Bahrain are no different.
