Biased Opinions here..
I couldn't help but notice how biased, negative and cynical most people in this thread are.
Look people, I don't work for Gulf Air, never have. In fact, I'm not a pilot. Looking at this from outside, I can tell you one thing. Gulf Air is an extremely sick entity in dire need of DRAMATIC change. In the midst of change, soul-searching and prioritization, LOTS of people are going to be disappointed, angered and perhaps enraged. This is ALL a part of the process.
Pilots, cabin crew, Bahraini employees who think they have a divine right to get a job and income in return for nothing, are against Majali. But ALL of this process started by him is a REAL plan that requires pride to be let go, sacrifices and yes, a LOT of lay offs involving some of the disgruntled people on this board.
Majali is an airline management veteran with a very clean record. Coming from Jordan, a country of limited resources, he understand where Bahrain is coming from. He knows very well that any turn-around plan cannot be modeled on Emirates, Qatar Airways or Etihad.
To come here and say 'this man is out to destroy the airline' is pure ignorance. To respectfully disagree with him is another thing. The man is betting that the only way to SAVE Gulf Air and maintain a national carrier for the Kingdom is through his plan. You either accept it or get on with your life, resign or simply Don't fly Gulf Air like me (until they fix their house).
Peace.
