I don't really know why this thread is still on. It shouldn't have started before the man being actually out. If it was rumour then, perhaps "Is the GF CEO on his way out?".
These carriers are not public institutions where top management is voted out because of citizen pressure or a national parliament. Not here in the Gulf.
Let's sit and wait.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that song was written by Katy Perry and is off the album "One of the Boys".
So to claim you wrote the song is a copyright violation.

Nice catch Che.
I was absolutely astonished. One minute the guy cant put two words together without making a spelling mistake and then all of a sudden he's blazing with poetry.
Nice try Ugly but here you are amongst people you cant fool. Try harder mate..
Trying to make a point is different and trying to bullshit ur way claiming u wrote that poem is 2 totally different things. If u r 17, then i'd guess u stop mingling with grown ups here unless u act like one...
Ps we are not bored. we r just simply following up on the threads which is the whole concept of this forum
Comprende
Then i gues thats it ... we r done .... RJ CEO. i heard he is a good man with rich experiance in aviation and managed to reduce the losses of RJ big time.
Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, 02 July 2009
Gulf Air, Bahrain’s national carrier, announced today the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the airline as it enters the next phase of its realignment strategy.
Samer Majali, former CEO of one of the Middle East’s most commercially successful carriers, Royal Jordanian, will take over at Gulf Air within the next few months from current CEO Björn Näf. Until then, Talal Al Zain, Gulf Air’s Chairman, will manage the business in the temporary position of Executive Chairman. [/font]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Talal Al Zain said, “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Björn Näf for his leadership over the last two years and we wish him well in his future endeavors. Moving forward, we have important plans for the future of Gulf Air and we believe Samer is the right leader to take the airline forward as we move into the next phase of our strategy to rebuild the business.”[/font]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']“I’m delighted to welcome Samer to the team as he brings an exceptional track record of successfully managing a leading Middle Eastern carrier. His skills will help us to build towards a strong future for Gulf Air,” he concluded.[/font]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Under Samer’s leadership, Royal Jordanian has been transformed into a highly successful and profitable business. The carrier’s transformation has been driven by a comprehensive strategy to modernize the airline’s fleet and the reshaping of its network. His achievements include bringing Royal Jordanian into “Oneworld” in 2007, making it the first Middle Eastern airline to join a major global alliance. In addition, he managed the successful privatization of Royal Jordanian, a first in the region. He has also served as President of the Arab Air Carriers Organisation (AACO) and served as Chairman of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) board of governors until June 2009. Samer holds a degree in Air Transport Management from Cranfield University in the UK.[/font]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Gulf Air’s outgoing Chief Executive Officer Björn Näf, is leaving the business to pursue other interests having served the airline for two and a half years. During this time he was instrumental in implementing several key initiatives towards Gulf Air’s ambitious realignment programme[/font]

Plenty of reason to be optimistic about the future with Majali's appointment (assuming he gets the support he requires from the Board, Parliament, and the other often feuding forces here on the island). He has a proven track record and steered a financial turnaround at Royal Jordanian, privatization, and the joining of a global airline alliance.
Ill second that, Naf did f' all, not that he could have anyhow. He certainly leaves with plenty of zeros in his bank balance (one would think).
I hate to say it, but if this new guy is any good i doubt he'll hang around for long. Anyhow lets just hope that this one works out for GF. Just please no Embryo jets like RJ now have.
