This news might not interest the flight crew , but it shows the continual trend of corruptions and spiral dive of Gulf Air lead by no other than the CEO himself.
Apparently , quite a few management personnel have been against the Embraer deal and questioned the value and productivity of this type for GF. The CEO does not exactly like such line of questioning and considers it a challenge to his authority. Two of those who are at the front-line of the opposition , the man in charge of aircraft acquisition & leasing and a Senior Finance manager opposing this deal have been given an ultimatum, take the VRS or get sacked. Both elected the latter and should be leaving within days.
But the real comedy cum tragedy is the tale of person who is going to take over the critical task of aircraft acquisition & leasing department. He is no other than that person who builds little model airplanes and has made a huge profit for himself. This man is one of the most skillful a** lickers GF has known in the modern time. A person with ill-repute who has survived being sacked by two out of the last three PCE's for being non-productive ( in another word , corrupt). His resume has "I know a lot of Sheikhs" written all over it. Apparently , he has been seen in the company of Majali in recent weeks.
It does not take Einstein to figure out that Gulf Air days are numbered , however , one would think that a guy like Majali will at least try to prolong its existence by skilful use of the resources ( something that GF have failed to do for decades).
It is not the case......Same old story , same old corruption.
NOW...enjoy the World Cup.
