I notice the Gulf Air facebook page has been hacked. From being the official presence for Gulf Air on Facebook to anti-government material.

Hi Folks,could someone please explain what Scatana's comments about bogus charges in Gulf Air have to to with threads on this forum. I thought this place was to discuss professional info about the company and job.

I fail to see why it would not be relative to this thread. It's about Gulf Air and wheter or not it's content is true/false it is worth discussing.

Hi there you all; my question may seem impractical at this time, but when engaged on a job search it would be relevant to know from Your "local" views of the situation, if GF will at some stage recruit Pilots again.
Gracias

Very soon, but they will call the ones they left behind last February, but there will be room for others as well since the summer is approaching...

Good luck!

Gulf Air Developments

Parliamentarians have officially ‘rejected’ the BD664m request from Gulf Air, according to sources.
Members of the Parliament Committee of Finance and Economic Affairs, headed by MP Ali Ahmed Alderazi, unanimously rejected the request, a source told DT.
The rejection was apparently due to the airline not being responsible in its commitments.
“The parliamentary committee was always clear on this stand and has every rightful reason to reject this huge amount for an airline, which has failed to prove itself during given opportunities in the past,” said the source.
The official announcement on the ‘rejection’ will be made today, confirmed the source. The decision will be forwarded to Parliament Chairman Khalifa Al Dhahrani and will be discussed in next session of the Parliament.

Great Chance that the cash will pass given the audit's being made,the fact that Bahrain needs the airline & the higher council + crowned prince are backing the airline.
The Jordanian CEO seems to be very quiet.My best guess is that he has no say in it since the members of the parliament are giving in their "aviation expertees"
in what to do with Gulf Air.So far,we have seen shrinking isn't the solution to this mess but will the officials see that?

Sign a petition? I haven't laughed so hard in ages! So the crooks want us nobodies to sign on the dotted line that they & their fellow managers are doing a fantastic job & are not corrupt??? Could someone then please explain to me exactly how GF got into such a state of loosing millions $ daily if the bosses are all aces & no one is filling their pockets? Something stinks to high heaven. Perhaps, the gentlemen upstairs could furnish us with reasons why we are in such a dire situation before asking us to sign a petition protecting THEIR jobs.
Can anyone explain why we are so f***ed if it's not mismanagement or corruption?
