A pretty sad state of a company, country and culture when a new, top-flying CEO arrives and:
1) employees take wagers on how many months he will last
2) the same go into a brace position until the storm brews over
3) the local politicos dress him up in a straight-jacket of preconditions and start second-guessing before anything has even happened.
God help you Mr. Majali!

No but this reminds me of the ex Gulf Air CEO Andre Dose who quit after they started interfering in his work and telling him exactly what to do which of course he refused but Naf didn't

I will also be interested to see how this goes. I wonder when ops management ensure our "safety" ,even though my government has told me to not travel there due to "extreme risks", if those same people will be willing to fly that route? On top of that typical for GF!!!!!

Iraq
....iraq remains dangerous and unpredictable
Travel Advice for Iraq - Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
....attacks in advanced stages of planning....plus swine flu rampant
and the list of international warnings against travelling to iraq goes on..
my question is who does gulf air think they are to see beyond everyone else's recommendations and what study have they comprehensively done to assure us all the it will be a safe operation?

To: GF Safety Audit Team,
How the audit was carry out and to what extend?
Despite all travel advisory to Iraq, it is amazing that the result of your audit found Iraq safe. Below is some of travel advisory given by several countries.
"This Travel Warning warns U.S. citizens of the current security situation and reiterates the dangers of the use of civilian aircraft and of road travel within Iraq."
"Iraq remains dangerous and unpredictable. Attacks against military and civilian targets throughout Iraq continue, including in the International (or "Green") Zone. Methods of attack have included roadside improvised explosive devices (IEDs), mortars and rockets, and human- and vehicle-borne IEDs. Travelers choosing to utilize commercial carriers to enter or depart Iraq should be aware that, although there have been no recent attacks on civilian aircraft, the potential threat still exists, as does the high risk to road transportation as described above."
"We strongly advise you not to travel to Iraq because of the extremely dangerous security situation and very high threat of terrorist attack. If you are in Iraq and are concerned for your safety, you should consider leaving."
"Terrorist attacks can occur at any time, anywhere in Iraq. We continue to receive reporting indicating that terrorists and anti-government forces are in the advanced stages of planning attacks against a range of targets, including places frequented by foreigners."
"Civilian and military aircraft are subject to attack from small arms fire and missiles."
"There is extreme risk to your safety in Iraq. We strongly advise against all travel to Iraq and New Zealanders there should depart.
The security situation is extremely dangerous.
Widespread violence and kidnappings continue in Iraq, especially in Baghdad, Basra and other urban areas. Many hostages have been killed or remain missing. Civilian vehicles and aircraft continue to be targeted. Baghdad is the major seat of the insurgency and is prey to intensive, ongoing violence. The international zone in Baghdad (the Green Zone) remains under threat and is subject to rocket and mortar attacks.
Presently, few commercial airlines use Baghdad International Airport.
Flying by commercial aircraft in Iraq is not recommended as flights have been targeted. The road to the airport is extremely dangerous as vehicles using it are frequently bombed or fired at."
GF Safety Audit Team must be a big joke.
