"Almost 60pc of the company are expatriates with high wages and 80pc of them occupy high-ranked jobs," he said.
Ah it's kick the expat time again - when all is failing blame anyone and everyone expect your local staff. Still trying to work out the 60%, I guess they include CC but take them away and the figure is much much less - maybe 30%.

Yes I too have heard that many of the outstation staff are completely at wits end with the pink palace ... interesting talking to some at the sales conference .... there are some major issues with GF and no one knows what to do or has any clue.
I have heard of one instance where its takes GF over 4 weeks to react to a competitor price and then HQ asks why is the load factor low on their flight .
Even better, when an outstation asked for a short term price reduction to boost some low low load factor flights, he was denied citing 'we are protecting revenue' - what revenue . And this from a department 95% Bahraini, headed by a Bahraini.

Time to put the old dog out of its misery.
