Here is my "balls" size theory: Money, career progression and quality of life should be our concerns. Money is way below market and no sign of improving, career progression is going backward, quality of life is down the drain with the new network (on the 767 anyways) and will get worse with loads of pilots leaving in the next few months. Personal conclusion: kissbutt757 have a "balls" size issue.

IB57 again... what's your problem?

It's not the first time this (Rats businness) happens.

So, according to IB57, those who are going elsewhere, looking for better pay, better working conditions, which in their turn will provide a better and happier (family) life, all of a sudden became RATS!?!?!?!?

Well sailor boy57 (sporting that tatoo on your arm and that healthy tummy... what did you expect?), to my knowledge, RAT is the one that stabs its own colleagues, bad mouth them (remember when you came up with "eurobrats"??) and thinks that he is the best kid on the block... cool dude... NOT!!

I personally wish all the guys who are leaving (except CPA330/A340 - good riddance!!!) a prosperous and wealthy career wherever they may go. For those who stay, I wish things improve quickly (much needed!) and for you sailorboy57, start respecting your fellow colleagues, if you would like to be respected!

Safe Flights!
JJ

The Reality about Gulfair

Hello everybody,
I just want to let everyone now how gf will treat you after you resigned if you do not intent to jump ship, if you intent to complete your contract notice period and do everything according to the book. As we all know the notice period is three months. Depending on when you hand in your papers you might get lucky and get one more salery. then they will block your salery, stating something like: WE ASSUMED YOU WOULD JUMP SHIP, after they had send you on leave which YOU told them you dont need your leave. if you have a decent chief flight which i most defenitly had, he will help you to get what is rightfully yours YOUR MONEY....But the company needs the money, so they want you to work for free and just not pay you. They will tell you your bond is not cleared eventhough you told them from the day of signing your papers how everything will be solved. In the secound month same sh... different smell, you will have to wait for your salery, again explain your intentions and come to the VERBAL agreement (because they on there hand will not sign anything but want you to sign your life away). they will tell you that everything will be ok as long as you work and you wait for your last settlement...as you might be someone who believes in the decency of the human being, you believe what they tell you, just do your job and think of nothing evil.... well wrong thought. you on your hand think everthing will be ok. you will get you ticket home and your last paycheck because you intent to pay your debt just get out clean.
now is the last two days of your repatriation process, you finish all your paperwork go up to payrole to get your money only to learn that nothing is as THey have told you. you talk to hr managemen only to hear that there never was an agreement with you, that you will NOT get your passport until you sign some bogus, shady paperwork and you will not feel safe anymore. my advice to EVERYONE is dont trust the management, because they all lie to you in all colors of the rainbow, you are nothing more then a slave they will not do anything brake all the rules they have laid out in the begining. decency does not exist, no wonder so many guys jumped ship over night without anyone knowing about there intentions. treat how you want to be treated and TREAT HOW YOU ARE TREATED. dont expect manners or anything like that. as you can see this is someone who has been played very bad....
Masalama gulfair together we will never do it

I remember you used the expression "vermin" sometime ago while mentioning those leaving GF.
IB, much probably your distorted view of GF is due to the fact that somebody elses "balls" must be covering your eyes. Maybe is a consequence of where your nose is sticking into?

Respect my "colleagues" who bag the company, and it's managers behind an anonymous moniker here on Pprune?? Easy to do that I suppose..If you hate it so much then be a professional give the notice, fulfill your obligation and leave to your dream job..running the place down and bad-mouthing the rest is not going to solve anything..have a nice day!!

IB57

IB, you were the first one to bail out from the 767 to downgrade yourself to a smaller jet. What, you were afraid you couldn't land a job when the music stopped?? Don't talk about balls!

An opportunity presented itself and I jumped...and yes the spectre of the 767 going away was a small part of my decision, but more so a desire to have the 'bus rating should the unthinkeable happen at GF..anyway I'm enjoying the baby bus...anyway it's not a "downgrade" but a downsize ..guess now I have to downsize my "healthy tummy" to fit

Attention to everyone who's writing a reply to IB57,

IB has the attitude of his leader GWB, he will never admit that he is wrong nor you can discuss with him rationally, but pls don't take his posts too seriously, he's probably posting them during his lonely encounters with alcohol or when he has a huge hangover, I am sure he does not even mean what he says, and trust me if there's a better opportunity arise for him he will be the first to leave, he's only staying because it's the best place for him at the moment, am I right old timer?

Super Eurobrat the vermin !!!

P.S. please don't libarate me

You may not agree wit IB, but his posts are always professional and polite. If more people did the same thing then this forum would be a lot more useful.

hear hear tbylx. had ib57 never bagged individuals by name, then he's guilty. if he was trying to portray a glimmer of hope for gf, then he's guilty. if he's trying to be loyal to the company, he's guilty....providing useful info, guilty......committed to a bond, guilty.....guilty guilty guilty for all the RIGHT reasons. i cannot say that about a lot of guys (me included sometimes) who find bagging the likes of him a pleasure. so all you one posters, lay off a bit and let ppruners in the right spirit share the wealth of info available out there.

IB57,

Do you understand that this "anonymus" forum was created so people can have a good rant about whatever they want whenever they want. If it were for anything else it would not be anonymus. So if you dont like the rant then return to your trailer park in hicksville U.S.A mate.

People have every right to post whatever they wish and if it is not appropriate the moderator of this forum can deal with it not you.

It's funny how you jump to post a critisism or a smug comment when people have a gripe yet you have not even bothered to post a "get well" wish for our friend Rad Gammage. Just says a lot about your character. I guess you dont get any browie points for that post from management do you?
