GF cabin crew girl raped
Does GF have a policy of sacking rape victims?
Rape woman loses airline job
By TOM HANRATTY, Posted on » Sunday, May 10, 2009
A BRITISH woman allegedly raped by two men within days of arriving in Bahrain claims she has since lost her job as a result.
The 23-year-old said she spent a night locked in a room after being raped by Jordanian and Moroccan men last month.
However, she insists she was forced out of the airline's cabin crew training programme after authorities chose not to pursue her rape allegations - even though a boss of the two accused reportedly tried to pay her off.
The woman also claims police delays meant it was over a week before she had a medical test, adding that Gulf Air had already sent two of the key witnesses - also cabin crew trainees - home after terminating their training.
She arrived here at the end of March from the UK to complete her in-flight training with Gulf Air and was due to graduate in a few weeks.

In this type of situation, the victim might either report it immediately or never report it at all. Does it really take two days to think about what to do?!
I must agree that something isn't right

With no jobs being advertised within the company, how long before they open the gates again ?
You see, we have now validated and proven part one of the Peter principle beyond all expectations, where in a hierarchal organisation people are promoted to their level of incompetence and there they remain; in time all posts are occupied by the incompetent.
We are now working on part two of the theory that asserts that an employee's incompetence is not necessarily exposed as a result of the higher-ranking position being more difficult, simply that job is different from the job in which the employee previously excelled, and therefore requires different work skills, which the employee usually does not possess.
The Peter principle of course assumes that the employee was at some time competent at something which leads us into our next area of research, the Dilbert principle, where a person who has never been competent at anything at any point in time can still be promoted into management.

I heard yesterday of a person who is leaving Gulf Air at an outstation office because he can no longer work in the climate of complete incompetence which is in effect in the Pink Palace. Emails never answered, telephone calls not returned, decisions never made. Apparently in his words it is worse than ever. Which, based on how it used to be, must be pretty damn bad. No idea how the airline keeps operating. It is in the worst mess ever in the opinion of many who know GF well.

I heard a rumour that they are stopping with keeping on pilots over 60, I don't know if they meant stopping keeping on those who will reach 60 from this day forward, or that those already flying in the company over 60 will be laid off or not have their contracts renewed, anyonne else heard anthing?

Amazing just when I thought that all Bahrain's MPs were fools one of them comes out with something interesting & very factual about GF. Check out the GDN article, its amazing how much is being stolen from our company & right under the noses(or more likely with the help) of the board.
