Ok ....alot of views but no replay....
some of the rumors are that up to a law in BAH your employer can not bond you more then a year for any kind of training.
Is that true?

It's true! although nobody has tested it in court against gulfair yet! There are a few people working behind the lines on these issues. Also the housing issue, GF believe that they have escaped legal obligations to pilots by administering the lease themselves, thereby providing housing, but then charging you from your salary. There are several of us working with a lawyer on these issues and perhaps a joint action, the more persons the more clout this will have. If you are interested in the legal consultant please IM me. Regardless do you really care about the bond if offered a good position elsewhere? GFA are inherently an abusive and dishonest company. You may reach the stage that you will welcome the day of jumping ship while aircraft, and bond wait for you on stand ,never to be seen again!

Inflames, you came to GF two years ago with no type rating worth having and have spent the last 24 months bitching and complaining. Yes I do know who you are. The law in Bah by the way, says you cant bond anyone more than 3 times. Therefore the bond you signed is above board and legal.

Hi Jackbauer,

Could you please PM if you don't want to say in the forum, which fleet you are in?, what's your position in the flight deck?, when you join GF?, do you currently have a bond? and why are you happy with Gulfair?

I really wonder, no bad intentions just out of interest. thanks

JB, I have tried to be constructive in the past but you were more interested in grammer rather than content. I am sorry you have no other option than to live your live as a hermit crab, but a molusc is a molusc, and one cant ( sorry about the puntuation, you understand?) change that really?
get on with your life and let people portray the truth, don't judge people cos you you take it up the ar.e shovela! de mierda!

They think they can get money from me? well that bond is poor.What , they are going to take my car??what can they take, keep me in jail
They(gf) did not supply me with a house, they have lied about that, I have to sit with guys who smoke their heads off and its ok ,not with me, well i will not sit up anymore with this disrespectful company.They can get stuffed for all i care , they can go and shake trees and see how many guys will fall out, everyone had it with GF.
By the way 767 is not a hot type rating today unless you want to fly in hell holes.

Jackofthebush, just wondering did you have a troubled childhood? Your posts are the most angry I think I have ever seen. Do you have a kind word for anyone? Evidence that the GF selection has failed in your case. Another cry baby who has the ability to complain but no balls to do anything about it. So many better jobs out there yet you can't seem to get one. Is pprune some kind of therapy for you?
