Hi guys, I have just found out, that the 350 euro's, the company here in Barcelona is taking for visas, is illegal. Gulf Air does not know anything about it and it is just going into their pockets. There is nothing written about it in the contract. One flight attendant contacted Gulf Air and the guys were surprised about it. This local hiring contractor told the girl, that she was stupid to ask them and they told her, that she is out. Sounds little bit like a mafia. The way to fight the 350 euro is to contact Gulf Air, but don't necessary give them your name, so that the local contracting mafia does not know, who has done it. Gulf air was upset about it and said, that they will contact them about it.
If somebody is willing to work for free or does not care about contracts, than the this business goes down the drain.
