Not exactly sure what is happening exactly today, but crews were told last week that 150-160 pilots needed, basically ASAP. So whether they are interviewing at the moment, or leafing though resumes is unbeknownst to me, but there should be fresh faces here in the very near future.
Ironbutt57's summary is fairly accurate. He forgot to mention the opening of a new waterpark here in Bahrain which is said to be even better than the one in Dubai. There are issues and problems in Bahrain, but overall, life is fairly easy here.
