I have gone via Bahrain route and I am familiar with how they treat Nepali workers over there. I think this is a true story and I commend the writer and support his call for the ban. I wanted to add few things to this realty though: Most of the passengers going via this route are Nepali workers, mainly from the rural areas of Nepal. They are plain, minimally educated people with very little training on city living and etiquetts. This behavior is condensendingly viewed by the foreign officials and thus they treat them almost comparable to animals. When announcement would be made, the workers would flock to the gate, as if the Sajha bus would be soon filled and they might miss the bus. But, you can't blame them for that, they aren't used to this. Besides, they are paying for the service and should be treated exactly the way other passengers are treated. What disappointed me more was the treatment of these workers by the Nepal Airlines officials. Almost similar, if not to the same level, treatment was bestowed upon these innocent people by the passport chekckers, security personnel. I think it would be impossible to train everybody, but we certainly can demand a better treatment by Gulf Airways. The only problem is their biggest customer base are these Nepali workers in Gulf area and as ong as this word gets there, us banning the Gulf Air is not going to do anything. I also doubt the workers would support such a ban either.
