Since last year GF finds it difficult to find type rated pilots. Thus, since last September GF hires non- type rated FO's and provides training on A320/330 and B767.
Pilots are being bonded for 3 years after completion of line- check.

EK, Etihad and of course Qatar are forced to go the same way....

Furthermore the training center in Doha has no capacity left and the pilots fly out to Cairo for training and checks....

Time for management to cuddle with its pilot force in order to keep us.....
