For a fact every issue is covered in the interview and all applicants are told of what they are entitled to when they join.
For your information, Gulf Air is a very well established airline ( 54 years) in business. As i said earlier every company has it's mishaps. look at other airlines that were stable and running and today they are history .
Regarding upgrades, in the interview all applicants are told that getting a command is by a seniority system. dont expect to come and join and within 3-4 years to get your command cause there are a lot of first officers who have been waiting much longer than that, even though they have been trained by Gulf Air as ab initios
Regarding housing, it has been made fairly clear what they are entitled to, and although we could be short of pilots, we dont decieve people to join the company.
And regarding the GT (incident), well this is the first time i hear of such story, so i suggest u get your facts right cause Gulf Air is not a dungeon that traps pilots or restricts them when they depart. I know many pilots who came here, got current, got the hours & experience and within a short time left for EK and Air Arabia and other airlines.
