yeah not bahrainization exactly but similar. i just find it amusing that the whole subject is taboo. many airlines all over the world hire expat pilot under contracts with better and in some cases worse terms then the local pilots. its up front and both sides company and employer know the deal. not something new or something people should be surprised about. i think what he was getting at was the fact for years favouritism has been obvious at GF. In my opinion this is not an expat issue but a company wide nationality wide problem that is not going to change! accept or move on
