aw shucks.
looks like the seriosu saudi investors forgot to ask the bahrani caa for permision. the guy at the ofice can't reveal any more information because they don't got none. just a fancy website with no information. might be a little more dificult than just driving across the cuaseway and heading for the nearest 3 star hotel habibi.
saudi investers- pots of money, even more atitute, little real world (busness) sense

TZZ, you already showed your loyalty to GF and because of that you'll be in the next Ab-Initio course followed by your command upgrade course 
I guess, together (me & you) we can do it!! because there is no one else (check GF masaalaamaaaa list) THEY ALL LEFT

LOC GREEN - in normal circumstances I would agree with you completely. But at GF you only have to read between the lines to realize what has happened and - what always happens!!
The first indication was when the Bahrain government halted the plan to lay off employees at GF. The new management team came in and said there would be layoffs, the co. was losing $1.5 million/day and there needed to be changes. The BOD and the government all said they backed the team...etc etc etc etc.
Then, when the politics got too hot the government came forward and said now there will be no layoffs. Even worse - GF cannot even move people from their positions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Over the last three months you only have to read the paper to see that it is the BOD (the Head in particular) that is CONSTANTLY making statements on behalf of the company!!! The BOD is micromanaging GF and they are not qualified to do so.
So, imo, it does not take a genius to realize that the new management team came in with a plan and had it pulled out from under them. The BOD is micromanaging the situation and not allowing those who should be doing the job to do so.
I will say this much - this is the exact reason that I, personally, am leaving. It is the same old same old at GF because the BOD and government will let management do what needs to be done.

Trader I think you are spot on with your assessment of what is happening to Gulf Air. If you don't allow the management to manage then they will not succeed, no matter who they are.
Secondly, if you are not willing to spend money to make money, there too, you will not succeed. It is painfully obvious that this is exactly what is happening, again. Everyone complained when JH sold off assets to move ahead, well guess what, once again GF is selling off what little they have left, the latest being a MCT-LHR slot for petty cash, why, because nobody is willing or was willing to invest the capital that is/was sorely needed to rebulid the airline.
Yes, the new management did have a plan which to all intents and purposes did sound OK, however they have been relegated to firefighting with one hand tied behind their backs.
In the end, I think the Massalama list will continue to grow to the point where there will be no other option than to start a small new operation, perhaps, Bahrain Air. I admit it doesn't have the ring of Gulf Air, but sadly I think that the name too will be relegated to the history books for people to reminiss on. Good luck on your travels!

Bahrain Misery
Guys we all know who was keeping Gulf air going.
AUH/DOH/OMAN
Unfortunately the airline is now in the hands of those who always managed to gain from it and criplled it.
They will never put cash in to make it work.
Look at the country compare it to the others Nobody spends nothing.
Its a misery
Unfortunately People are still seeing how to make profit from selling the blood of GF
Wake up Bahrain do not ruin the airline and the Country.
Do not Isolate yourself

Want to scuttle GF?
Easy, put a homo in charge of marketing and very soon you will have all the stray cats of wendy's bar managing the airline and attending official fubctions sponsored by GF.
That is what is happening, GF is now run by the consortium of Bahrain homosexuals...

Other than keeping it to the same 'sexual leaning', the nepotism is back too. Recently appointed heads, despite their obvious ineptitude and current failings, are now lining up their 'relatives' to place along side them.
