The unavoidable truth is that Bahrain & Bahrainis are responsible for the dire situation that Gulf Air finds itself in today. For an airline that is 63 years old there is no excuse for not having a program that trained young promising Bahrainis for senior management positions. Instead we have the worst possible caliber of Bahrainis in positions whose talents consist solely of brown nosing, misappropriation & flesh peddling.
Sadly, it apprears that there is no move or even the will to correct this. In fact,apart from 2 Chief positions, not one Director/Senior manager has lost his/her job only the average employee is facing the axe.
Some Directors will have their titles changes but still receive the same benefits & salaries-so where's the saving there?
It seems the writing is finally on the wall for civil aviation in Bahrain, the only question is who will outlast the other Bahrain Air or Gulf Air?
Good luck all.
