I have request also.

Gulf Air has one the lowest PILOT BASIC SALARY in the Gulf (see Air Arabia Capt basic:2350 BHD, Etihad capt basic: 3300BHD, Emirates Capt basic: 2900 BHD), not even mentionning the bad allowances which don't match any reality...

So Mr Doze, if you want to keep your flightdeck working force from leaving for other airlines in a continous flow (recently 10 A320 captains resigned to join Air Arabia - to double their salary with a Bahrain base...), please increase SIGNIFICANTLY our basic salary or your airline will have corroded airplanes and no pilot to fly them !

Should I mention also that not only the Middle East is diying for pilots (see Qatar Airways) but back home too... So your pilot shortage will be for real sooner or later...

Cheers,
BD
