GF On-Time! LOL!!!
Went to check-in for the "final" GF flight to DUB the other night and chanced a peek at the DEP/ARR screen. Every, I mean every GF flight on the DEP screen was listed as "delayed". Sadly, every other flight listed EY, EK, etc.. were all listed as "on-time".
By the way, the "final" GF DUB flight didn't get off the ground until 4AM!!
Better on-time performance my left testicle.

He was probably miss-quoted.
What he probably said was "yani we are wishing that 80% of Gulf Air's flights are on-time, inshallah..."

Mr. Dose has really managed to screw this one right!
0% OTP for the last four days... Shame!
Airport full of delayed passenger and the world famous now: Tou cannot sit here, please move!
And someone was saying JH did not do it?
Well it was never this bad, and this is supposetly operating out of one hub only....

Nothing short of a complete shambles!! 
Arrived at Abu Dhabs for my London connecting flight only to find out (not get told!) that there has been a 3 1/2 hire slide. Completely stuffed up my drinking schedule in the UK!!
This is the second time in 2 weeks I have done a GF London flight with no less than a 3 hour delay each time.
The wheels on the trolley have certainly fallen off!!!

lots of naysayers
well, enjoy your leave and dont let the door hit you on the way out.
Frankly, it 'grinds my gears' sometimes reading this forum, there seem to be a lot of GF employees positively over the moon about every failure, and taking digs at every announcement.
If you're going to go then go, you dont need to remnd everyone how great you are, try and leave the rest of us here in peace while we try and do something positive. Sure, it's bleak, it's grim, but constantly moaning and posting how hard done by you are isn't really helping.
I am going to stay, I am going to give it time and see how the dice fall. I'm going to work and try and make some positive contributions.
I'm not going to post snide comments here, slagging off management from behind my keyboard.
Rant Oveur!
p.s. That tax is a bummer though!

noticed at ops 95% of the time of shear boredom and silence followed by 5% of overwhelming hive of activity from the 'wave' of pilots demanding the attention of the already stretched dispatcher.

Yes absolutely it's too early to tell, but I noticed the Saudis are still on time when it comes to the week end......
Maybe Gf should learn from them, or ask the girls...

Yeah, but the electricity was out at the California hotel last couple days, that should put a crimp in the schedule of our visiting neighbors

But most flights were on time yesterday. If that's an indication of what's to come, the only real worry is maintenance.

A quick glance through your aims of the previous days' sked and actual dept times provides a summary of the OTP, however it does NOT necessarily provide a reason...and remember it takes efficiency on the part of all involved...ops, ground handling agency, and engineering to make it work, and of course the servicibility of the aircraft to begin with...all it takes are two or three aircraft with known u/s apu's to throw a wrench into the works...add to that the inevitable missing passenger, unforseen tech delay and it can all unravel very quickly...watch and wait and see if indeed this new ops style can be achieved, as it will take some time to get into the "swing" of things...at least it DOES put pressure on all involved to perform as they have never had to before..so lets see if all rise to the occasion...admittedly it is working far better than I had imagined during the first few days..watch the passenger loads and see if it works for them as well...
