Am told that a couple of more ferries to Canada are around the corner.
Better call up your friends to put your name on them, before the A320 fleet's FM aka Foreign Manager or Ferry Manager gets them for himself or his cronies.

I guess that qualifies him to run a 'commercial' airline then. I would have thought they would be as similar as chalk and cheese.

Man the lifeboats lads and turn off the lights while you are about it.

Ticking my arse, it stopped a while ago. Must be the heat, the mashuginahs or the enshallahs that have not allowed you and the "others" to notice. We had a few more of your(GF) chaps begin ground school over here today. And they are not flying the Tuk Tuks.

unfortunately the m.p. think that running a commercial airline is the same as running public transportation buses!

I think Al Musalam job is to keep an eye on Majali and try to stop the corruption in GF.

No word on hiring at the moment. There are plenty of cadets waiting for their training slots but depending on deliveries and attrition, GF might need to hire expats. As always nobody will know until the company starts hiring.

Of course Bahrainis can be corrupted, but my point is forget about him and think who is watching him and where he came from, he didn't just send his CV and got picked by the board. My suspicion is this guy has a mission.
