Any information on what the Company's plans with respect to crewing the Embraer?
About a week ago I heard that they were approaching mid-seniority level FO's on the A320. Then I heard they are hitting high-seniority widebody FO's again, leaving FO's at all seniority ranges nervous and anxious in its wake. No clear policy announcement from the Company either on career progression after one gets sent to the Embraer, including issues of career progression after a possible upgrade on the type or those who do not upgrade.
Unfortunately, this means that pilots who are otherwise happy at Gulf Air are eyeing other companies because of uncertainty about their future career path. People love to read mysteries, not live them. Dialogue, discussion and clear details about career progression would do a lot to dissolve these fears.
Am I right with the impression that the last pilot meeting was while Chris Cain was still COO?
