Let me quote again what you posted verbatim:
Unfortunately, the only way to make a short-haul network profitable is to cut costs dramatically. Short-haul, full-service operators in Europe have taken the brunt of the downturn and I'm not sure that the Government of Bahrain fully realizes the implications of going down the short-haul road. All those high-paying management, pilot and cabin crew jobs are going to have to go. I suspect, therefore, that the hurt is only just beginning for Gulf Air.
Let me know if you want me to spell it out for you.
Nice rebuttal on the remote-controlled aircraft though. I simply can't think of any other way an airplane would fly without a pilot unless it's an UAV.
