All pilots who cancel their resignation should be placed at a weary bottom of seniority list for upgrade or fleet transfer.
Just as appreciation to pilots who stick with GF at bed times.

Or how about - we allow those pilots who cancel their resignation to jump ahead of all of us and go to the top the of the seniority list!!
The ONLY reason this package increase has come about is because of the realisation that the large number of resignations that GF were facing was untenable, and that disruptions to the GF schedule and operations were iminent. It would be pure folly to think it was anything less. Or how about - we allow those pilots who cancel their resignation to jump ahead of all of us and go to the top the of the seniority list!!
I'm not advocationg that those currently serving out their notice period are the white knights riding off into the sunset, just that this package is purely a reactionary measure to the whole recent debacle, which was ironically bought about by the mishandling of the board, and in particular the chairman!
The problem I see is that GF is unfortunately never going to be a market leader. The bigger players in the region are going into battle to entice drivers for their ever expanding fleets, and GF is going to sit in the shadows on the sidelines. If the market drags GF along in this upward trend then good stuff. My concern is that GF will only ever do enough to keep its head above water. If the management team are somehow able to steer the ship away from crisis management, and you end up with something more proactive, I will be the first one to stand up and say well done.
I am really happy for my colleagues that choose to stay with GF and stick it out. This new package is long overdue and deserved. Congratulations. However, does the euphoria and the chest beating I'm seeing on here not make us look a tad fickle. Are we nothing more than prostitutes willing to sell out at a moments notice? Would it be more dignified if we just took the money, said thanks very much, and got on with it?
Personally, my decision to leave is an individual one that no amount of increase will change. Horses for courses.
And a400 - you stick with GF at bed time old chap. Hopefully you will be tucked in nicely, you will sleep like a baby, and you will be cleaned and fed just like you always have from the day you joined GF.

Well. 
Since you guys don’t like my first suggestion.
Then I propose to all pilots who are sating in good old GF and will receive new package, to raze money and put a monument on roundabout in front of OPS, to all pilots who left GF and make a new package possible (maybe in a white marble).
Cam’ on babe light my fire.

Now that's what I call proper English.
while we are at it,.....look up the word "whom" it may come handy in your writing.
I hope you can pass the ICAO english exam coming this march.

Just for your information I'm still on the GF masalama list and have no intention of changing my mind. It was never only about the money, when you loose faith in the management and the board that spearheads this airline, it's time to move on.
I wish you and all my good friends who stay on every success.

My friend I am here to fly plains not to write poetry, if you ever did some flying you should know that in aviation people use FRAZEOLOGY which is not a Standard English language.
You brits went around world to “educate” people so now in London you can hear more Indian English than Standard English. And after so many years in different countries you can speak only English.
Shame. How ignorant.

Come on guys stop dissing someone's language or grammar. This is supposed to be a forum for pilots not language professors. I may not agree with what a400 posts but it seems a rather cheap shot to hit back at someone's spelling. Perhaps you have nothing else to nail him on?

yeah, they will be making it compulsory next year for atc and aircrew to pass english. i dare say that at least a third of the rostered gf air crew will not go through.
