theodoremd83, this is the Gulf Air's way of management, must issues are dealt via e-mail at the very last minute.
As said, in different words, in the last management's e-mail: ... we don't know what is going on and we also don't know what is going to happen with Gulf Air... so, please keep believing on us..."
Hope you get your job back or in a different airline in the ME...
Sad, but true.
