They will follow through because it buys time and shifts the blame somewhere else when the ship finally goes down. It's called NOT "losing face" because that is the ultimate 'No No' in the middle east. Reading through these pages one notices succint summaries coupled with obvious and not so obvious solutions offered by the pilots community.Other corporate failures might have been avoided by listening to other staff & ground root staff too. Modern CEO's are doing just that. Dosse & Naff showed the way too but were thwarted and over-ruled by the dysfunctional Board. And still, GF's CEO talks about reducing fleet but not staff. He dare not reduce National staff levels & fails to acknowledge that expats will take the brunt. Just like watching the Titanic all over again.Failures everywhere. Failure to heed to warnings, failure to recognise the problem exists, failure to admit the ship is holed, failure to take decisive action, failure to listen to advice........oh dear, & as the ship went down, Captain probably still saying.." What f-----g ice berg ???" !!
