Flygulfair, someone put drugs in your sheesha or something?

i agree with the comment on politically motivated employment as opposed to operationally motivated employment.

the pink palace is littered with idle and unnecessary staff. unfortunately, a lot of them have been there for years.

new heads of department are appointed every few days. there's even a vice president who heads an office of less than ten. wtf?
definitely a case of too many chiefs and too many indians.

gf needs to HALVE the contents of the pink palace.

on the operational front, crews are flying more and more turnaround, back to back, red-eye flights with minimum rest in between.

i realise the need for more effective and efficient utilisation of crew but for the right and fair reasons, not because headquarters overheads are busting at the seams, especially with overstaffing and useless, toothless vice presidents.
