I recall there was a lot of fuss on here when GF decided to fly to Iraq. Planes would be blown out of the sky. Crews would be in danger.

All gone very quiet recently!

Maybe it's fairly safe after all to fly to Iraq?

oh the silence when some painful truths are told.
be silent, for when gf suffers more losses from mismanagement and deception, and you lose your jobs as a result, maybe then you will cry.

There isn't much to say brass plate. Hate to admit it but GFs upper management is much better then QRs. Even though Qr has 66 aircraft is service and 158 on order , the management is filled with blood sucking parasites .

Talking to some of the people I know in schedule publication, this is a system error and they are not reduced. The issue should be fixed soon.

New Simulator A320

Bahrain-based Gulf Aviation Academy has taken delivery of the first of three flight simulators purchased under a $34m investment plan. The new simulator will allow pilots to train on the A320 aircraft type. The second and third simulators are due to arrive in January and March 2010, the academy said.

They will used this simulator only for 2nd officer or they will use for upgrade as well??

Not sure what Majali has to do with designing the new network. When you are that high up, you do not deal with scheduling the aircraft and determining where each one goes. Credit I assume has to be given to the people in the network planning department.

With respect to Mike.Park's post about discussions between Gulf Air and planemakers Airbus and Boeing, I cannot help but wonder if there are also discussions going on with Bombardier and Embraer.

I doubt that little jets would solve any of the GF problems.

i don't really would want GF flying these types of aircraft. Thos airplanes are needed in domestic flights.And GF have those 320s .So i guess thats enough,As GFs main routes are within the gulf so they need airplanes bigger than Embraer.
