The meeting basically was focused on the general situation of Gulf Air, it did not contain any technincal issues like other pilots meetings. Basically the Minister came and adviced that he was assigned to monitor the Board members at this phase of the change in Gulf Air, and since the pilots are an important factor he was adviced by the board member to talk to us. His main points were: 1- Gulf Air will not shut down, but the market is no longer as it was like before. The market shrank alot but GF remained the same size and thats why we have excess of manpower.2- GF will shrink but not as it was mentioned in the papers, it will shutdown some stations which are loosing and aswell is not benifiting Bahrain. So for example even if London is loosing yet it wont be closed as being an important hub.3- Bahraini Pilots will not be reduced, but the Expats might get affected with the reduction. The exact numbers will be announce soon and over phases.4- The fleet will only be consisting of Airbus 320 and 330 no more E170 and E190.5- For the time being there is no Idea about merging with Bahrain Air and that is not the case now.6- On the long term, there might be a plan to merge Gulf Air, Gulf Technics, GAA and Bahrain Airport Company.7- Corruption will be monitored and we advice every employee to report through the propper channels to fight such things.8- GF has been loosing over the years though one management to another and it has not been yet solved out. 9- The target now is to stop the bleeding, stabalize the company and then if situation permits we go for growth.10- Regarding the Bahraini pilots who are waiting for their Ab-initio training, the company would be happy to take them, but if the number of pilots has reached the requirements then they cannot just hire them without needs.11- People in the management from now on will be monitored for their Accountability, the Minister focused on having the right person at the right position. It does not matter if it is Bahraini or Expat as long as the job is done proffessionally and accurately.12- It is important for all our pilots to work together at this stage until things get stabalized and stop the negative rumors or thoughts being spread specially on the operation of GF.13- The PM had a big effect on exposing GF to the public in a bad way, thats why now we need to gain the public trust again internally and externally.
