Like crap GF are pulling out of CMB!!!
Where do you get this nonsense? EY and GF both have been full going out of LHR over summer and both have hardly any pax on it now due to the end of season.
I have to say that EY's onboard service is no better than GF's. Seats are all the same, uncomfortable etc etc.
GF have the services... lounges, dedicated areas, experienced staff. EY don't have any of this yet.
GF's Lounge in Bahrain and the new one in London are really great! And the dedicated Transfer area in AUH, coupled with the new BHX(Birmingham, UK) - AUH route shows that GF isn't leaving soon.
I would rather travel on a GF flight with a Sky Nanny to keep those bloody irratating children quiet, a Sky Chef and new state of the art Virgin Airways type closed seats and flat beds (soon to be fitted) than with an airline whose inflight crew look like they are going to a funeral with the men wearing black and the women wearing grey.
Althogh biased because I work for GF, I have to say they are a lot better than EY.
EY still have a lot to learn. They started running before they could walk, and now they are starting to stumble.
