Many of us, a long tme ago, realised that there was never going to be a (quote) "The Captain was responsible but the Airline was more responsible for having made him a Captain" response to the accident from anyone in authority in Bahrain.
To anyone with any sort of flying experience it was obvious what went wrong on that terrible evening.
All the evidence points to a situation where we have a man who has been given responsibility for the operation of a complex piece of machinery carrying a large number of souls WHO SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN GIVEN THAT RESPONSIBILITY IN THE FIRST PLACE!
For God's sake Gulf Air - come clean. Yes, we all know the way the Middle East works. If you know the right people you can talk yourself into just about any job - but that "old boy's network" should never ease someone into a job that carries real reponsibility for the lives of other people.
Gulf Air management take note, there is no point in pussyfooting around any longer. Admit your culpability, kick out the existing management and go on to recruit a body of people who can really help you to succeed before it is too late and the airline disappears into oblivion.
