Just give the Bahrain MPs some time and they'll start an anti-Majali campaign, just as they did with Naf.
It'll be something along the lines of ... we need a Bahraini at the helm ... we're a Bahrain airline ... we should have a national as CEO ... too many expats ... and on and on and on and on and on ....

This wont happen as Majali has a proven track record whereas the last two had nothing more than failures. Dose and his Swiss air and cross air disasterous record and Naf, who never held such a post in his life, didnt know nor had the experience to handle it.
Majali has brought years of experience with him, and i sincerely hope he gets all the support, financially and morally to turn GF into what it really was before....

Mr Majali seems to have the right credentials , but so did Hogan and Dose ( Good old Naf was no more than a Manager at best ) , however , they both failed to lead the airline to recovery.
The problem of GF is not who the CEO is , the problem is much more deeper than that. Simply said , the airline as it stands , cannot break even let alone be profitable.
US$ 365 million , that GF is loosing annually , can service or fund a lot of projects in the public sector. Funds are required for more health and educational facilities that the country is in dire need of. The sudden explosion of the population due to government policy of giving away Bahraini citizenship to every Tom , Dick and Harry has resulted in increased pressure on the meager resources of this country,
Funds also required for new roads , better transportation system , agriculture and even little things like building decent parks or decent public beaches .
It is a question of priorities.
NOW...do you understand where the MP's are coming from ?
If only Majali had that magic wand

They can bring whoever they like but no one can help GF until the powers that be decide exactly what they want from GF. She cannot be a viable commercial entity & provide welfare to lazy Bahraini women, who want a free ride but do not want to show up for work & on top of that have you seen the miserable look on their faces all the time? I guess they don't realize how lucky they are that they don't have to work for their money. I believe that the best move our new CEO can do is get rid of at least 75% of them. That would be a start. But back to planet Earth now since no one has the b**** to make that decision & tell the MPs & the GF trade union where they can put their objections.

Majali has a proven track record
Anyone's track is as good as it publicised by the Company and Media. GF had many cases in not a very distant past.
To be good you need to be rational, cut expenditure and start anew. That's painful and the new democracy in Bahrain will not like it.
2 ways to follow. Listen to the MPs and continue the status quo or have the government be the first one to step in and take the blows caused by the new CEO to make GF start from scratch, lean and mean.

Well well well the new roster is out & very early indeed! Guess it can be done when all the dim wits upstairs are going on a nice long Eid holiday. Shame that can't pull their fingers out the other 11 months of the year-we might stand a chance surviving then.

Rosters and pay, work completed in around 3 weeks instead of 4. How is this possible during Ramadhan or any other time.
I am happy. But does this means that that these departments are 25% overstaffed. Rostering usually takes 4++ weeks from the date stated in the admin manual. Pay is steady otherwise.

A9C-AB has taxied on it's own engines and will be ready soon for delivery, looking positive Gulf Air .. however, no paint means it will either take time to get it painted OR we are smelling a new livery
