I agree with JAMMERS in Gulf Air is who you know and not what you know!! and other thing the new CEO tells his managers which SF/O should get command , thats why there is quite numbers of SF/O don't make it and these they have been in company for so many years with good training and sim cheks records and they have proved this while flying with them, actually some are very good but, got suprised when i had that they didn't make it.By the way Ibrahim Al Hammer did his flying in DOHA (QATAR) not in the USA.. Gulf Air record is WRONG! <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
