flame_bringer, i have nothing against locals but come on. how can you be so blind. you nationals can not even look after your own back yard. how can you expect expats to trust you when you crap on each other?
i will be as bold as to suggest that ALL management positions be given to western expats. you have had long enough to experiment with bahrainization. that crap just won't work, ESPECIALLY in your country. the longer you persevere with it, the quicker your demise, the demise of your airline, and all the families that rely on it. hand over the reigns now, not just to the ceo, but ALL the top positions and keep locals as far away as possible from management because the only thing they will do is (if not nothing), rob, corrupt, and abuse.
i am warning to my fellow pilots, expats and locals, from afar because i was there. best thing ever was leaving. so should every pilot.
