Gulf Air Developments

[Sidestick Priority]

Meph & Left to First,
I didnt remove my post, which to you is BS and hoax respectively. But the fact is the fact: income - expenses = profit. Industry experts said that income would be less (less pax, etc), so the only thing left in the equation is expenses which need to be reduced.

Take a look at the latest mail from Mr. Banana. If you had experience with furlough, some word/phrase is very familiar;

VOLUNTARY UNPAID LEAVE – EXTENDED POLICY 2009

"As part of OUR efforts to reduce costs"

"to enable staff to take authorized periods of unpaid leave"

"If the position no longer exists due to restructuring / operational adjustment, the employee will be considered for redeployment through the GF Resource Pool, and reassigned to alternative positions of equivalent grade/skills base or made available to provide temporary cover elsewhere in GF"

"For unpaid leave of more than 3 months, Gulf Air is unable to guarantee return to the position originally held by the employee"

Go on and read for yourselves. It is not a positive news from my interpretation.
