More ill-informed rubbish about Gulf Air.
I personally know some GF pilots that have left for both EK and other carriers, and GF have in NO WAY obstructed them, unless you consider insisting that the pilots give the obligatory 3 month notice an obstruction (a fact EK are well aware of).
Whilst I do not know what has happened at GT, but since the pilot group is one and the same, all administered out of BAH, I find OTG's assertion pretty hard to believe.
It may be an administrative hiccup, but one phone call to BAH would sort that out.
