Support of Crew

Yes I go on line supporting Ali Sultan in his position at Gulf Air! From what I have seen and experienced the only problem he has had is no staff to hepl him in a very importatnt position. Over the years he has been the ONE person my family can call to take care of problems when I am gone, for who knows when, and uncontactable.
A whole in the wall office with out even a window and keep a good attitude, be willing to help, overextend hinmself, answer his phone when rostering will not, don't fire him, give him more support.

My experience with Mr Sultan has been the same...after the first time I met him, he knew my wife and kids name, was able to pullout of a large pile on his desk, the passport, cpr card, or whatever document I needed without asking my name...and was always greeting you with a smile, and a handshake....invaluable person to have around for sure.....

Great to hear Ali is still around - what a gentleman! Proud, yet humble, always willing to hear your case.

Every company needs an Ali Sultan.

Could not agree more. Over the years he has been a great help even though he seemed to be overworked and under staffed.

IB not quite on the text.

During my years in Gulf Air I also found Ali as described above.
The management must have a very good reason to go after and fire a national who also does such a good job for crews and is well liked and efficient.
What did he do.....Steal twice from Duty Free?

I had heard he was "retiring", not too sure of the circumstances, but what a shame, and big loss for GF...definitely not the kind of progress we need at this crucial stage in the game....

I do not think retirement is the right term. Seems the big boss at the new Human Remains power domain of GF has decided to side against Ali.

I wonder how much good will, security and positive employee motivation Ali has produced over his career? How many lifes has he touched in a positive way?

I would think alot more than the current policy makers, with their unilateral change of contract condition, loss of benefits and edicts issued from above.

Transperancy?

Sad to see that loss of travel benifits has generated more response than a person who has been instrumental in making GF work for over 30 years.

Maybe we should look back over those years and rethink priorities.

The full story on this has not come out yet, when it does you will realise why Ali is going. No I wont reveal it here so dont ask but suffice to say it is surprising and those who need to know can find out very easily. Last I heard he is not leaving just moving departments.

Just heard the same....hope whomever takes over his former department, is as people-oriented as he is....that's a hard act to follow...

It sure is, it's like having the Rolling Stones as your support act, so you better be good!! Half the trick is to remember everyone's name which Ali was a master at.

Ali is the one person in ops that you can count on. This VP HR is worthless and fits in with the ops mafia---VP OPS and his crew. They should be out a long time ago!!!!!!!

Hind sight has ALWAYS been my best vision, to bad the top of the palace will not look in the mirror. But then again it's not a democarcy. I guess we know how the centurions felt. All hail Hogie and the rest.

Heard that VP HR is out, could this mean that Ali is to take his place??
