I believe the problem is relatively straight foreword. GF's cost base is way way too high, as a consequence the revenue required from sales is far in excess of our competitors. We employ enough office staff, managers and the like for an airline 3-4+ times our size. Matters of criminality only add dramatically to the problems. This coupled with staggering levels of gross incompetence produces dramatic losses, and so the cycle continues. Chopping the airline up peace meal will be in vain. The losses will continue as before until the ultimate powers that be recognise the facts as are, remove themselves from the running of GF, appoint a board of independent individuals with proven backgrounds and allow them and any new CEO to act as the business dictates without interference.....regrettably politics and inter-tribal feuding will not allow this to happen. GF will continue to be a battle ground used as a pawn for this faction or the other ultimately depriving ALL of jobs and Bahrain of an ESSENTIAL resource. Good luck to all, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
