GF VPs' Mass Resignations

Rumours doing the round at the Pink Palace is that a number of VPs have been asked to resign their position.
Heard that VPO was the first, then VPT, VPS and finally VPN.
All had pressure put on them to leave their post before the new PCE joins.

Likelyhood is that Andre Dose want to bring in his swiss executives to get the company running professionally.
The board is supporting Andre as he has his man Michael Wettes on the board.

Its very interesting times at the Pink Palace and April 2nd is going to a news-worthy day.

Interesting take on the situation..it's the pilots and engineers fault. I'll tell you what, i'll make a deal. If by the fall things haven't improved at the airline under new management, i'll resign and accept total responsability.

Its true.....

To all Gulf Air Staff:


I would like to make two important announcements on behalf of Gulf Air Management and Board of Directors.

Mr. Fareed Al Alawi, Vice President Network has tendered his resignation to the Gulf Air Board of Directors. Fareed has kindly accepted to continue in his position with Gulf Air till a suitable replacement is found for a proper hand-over to ensure a smooth transition.

Also following 33 years of service with Gulf Air, Mr. Abdulkhaliq Saeed, Vice President Technical has tendered his resignation to the Gulf Air Board of Directors.

Mr. Jeffery Solomon, has been appointed to the position of Vice President Technical. Mr. Solomon brings a wealth of Aircraft Engineering & Maintenance experience to the role and we hope you will welcome him to our team.

I am sure you all join me in wishing Fareed and Abdulkhaliq every success in the future.



Ahmed Al Hammadi
Acting President and Chief Executive

Strongly believed VPIT & VPSM not included in the "May we have your resignation please....thank you!"
Biggest rumours are VPO & VPF next; no whispers beyond that. Seems VPS and (Acting)VPHR may well have escaped.
To infinity and beyond!

Yes, VPO is next and VPF did submit his resignation but the board won't accept it just yet as they want to "investigate" some of his decisions which has crippled the company.

VPIT and VPMS (who was about to go to EY) not effected.

VPS - 50/50 at the moment.

As if VPS was worth my 2 p's I am throwing in here.

VPS should go and take some heads starting with that blond liar from cabin crew.

It's all talk until it actually changes..i'm not holding my breath. I hope for Bahrain's sake that they are actually serious and have the political wasta to make it happen, would be interesting to see what the airline could be if it was run responsably.

Not a VP but Badr, that waste of space who makes model airplanes, beefcake @rse should also go, how did he ever get back into the pink palace after the info he leaked to EY? God forbid him taking any position here, they don't get more uselesss than he does! Let alone become a CEO as commented in a recent newsletter!

Model CEO

To give Bader Model his due, and luckily for commercial airlines, in the recent newsletter he did mention that he wanted to be the President of model airplanes!!

God help anyone that would have to work with such an ingenious yet infamous lazy tosser. Building model airplanes and running an airline is two different kettles of fish. Trust him to be such a communicator when in real life he mutters his way through oblivious stupidity, defaming the airline at every corner.

I say sack the meatsack fagget do I hear anyone there? let him go suck on a lemon in Abu Dahbi where i doubt JH would want him after he gave him the sack here!
