Yes, but it has always been like that, in any airline. Professional Airline Pilots are a hardy bunch, dedicated to doing the right thing, the best thing, in fact, ANY thing to demonstrate company loyalty but more often than not, simply to protect employment. I have said, and others have intimated as much, stop being loyal to what is painted on the side of an aeroplane & be loyal, instead, to your regulatory authority. Few choices for GCC nationals so you become the whipping boy for the kind of inept management for which GF is famous. The sadness is that there will be no cure for the ailing "bird". The corruption is endemic & the ineptness a fact of life.
