I know, I know, it's certainly not all rozes but what I'm trying to do is just give this thread some positive vibes back. I was refering to 320 ops to CDG/FRA, more frequencies here and there, new 320 series aircraft coming in, old 330's leaving. Someone did some maths somewhere that it's cost effective to tanker round trip everywhere I go as of late. Also the insourceing of its Fleet Technical Management. The rumored A340 wet lease iso wasting BD700.000 per annum with them just sitting idle. At least we see something happening.

What I don't understand is why GF does not go for the domestic Saudi market now that has been opened up. Just read today that Qatar is looking to start a sister company in Saudi pending some changes being made by those in power. This would have been an ideal move by GF as Bahrain and Saudi are best buddies. You've gotto be bold and spend money to make money. Look at Bahrain Air flying out of Dammam...

Anyway, I'll propably get flamed for saying this...
