western Ideals
Someone told me recently it is a fatal error to apply western values or ideals to a middle eastern company..................I thought about that for a little while and conceded that he was right.
Gulf helicopters have been on the go for a long time now, and to change things that actually function in the way that they do now, just isnt gonna happen. The functionaries who are in the positions to make improvements are ill equipped to do so. Little if any experience outside the military or the middle east and a very comfortable seat on the gravy train is not the best motivation to make the whole outfit better.
The introduction of the new aircraft is going to be a real challenge and I believe it will expose a number of individuals as wanting in certain areas of there position.
The QCAA attempts to operate under JAA rules, but will deviate or look the other way when it suits.
I see no outlook of improvement in the short term.
