A little bird tells me that these so called flying chefs ( they don't actually cook anything from what i understand) are all ex ansett boys. They are being accomodated in the elite apartments which is better accomodation than is offered to unacompanied captains for pitys sake. looks like jobs for the boys at the old gravy train of gulf air. a complete waste of time and money ( they are paid the same if not more than a flight senior) which will only drive morale down in an already very unhappy airline.
personally, i was hoping for a bit better from the first ex pat manager gulf air has had in a while. same old story.
Oh and apparently the new advert cost 7 million bucks. the brown envelopes must be being passed around.
