    LOL... I actually heaved a sigh of relief for you. I've actually flown on GF twice in my life (SIN-SYD-SIN on the A340s) and they were quite honestly pretty horrid. None of the crew were motivated (mainly the foreign ones) and the Bahrainis couldn't care less. The foreigners weren't treated well by the airline so that went a little to explain the situation. I got chatty with 2 FAs from Singapore so the 3 of us later met up in Sydney after the flight for coffee. I've viewed the airline's rebirth with fascination afterwards and your videos have proven that they still need to weed out the old guards in order for genuine change to happen.

    It's like falling off a bike - it's best if you get straight back on, so by having to travel with Gulf again for your connection, at least you were able to get a more rounded view of what they offer. Plus the remediation you mention in your comments on the other video suggest they're not all bad - you certainly wouldn't get your range of experiences from a sponsored channel!
