Rumor is Al Moyed to be the next PCE.
No one in this country has the experience to run an airline - especially an airline in as much trouble at GF.
The back is about to break on this airline. All of the management with experience are leaving.
I am glad I am out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bye bye Dose thread
So four months and off you go.
Pitty we did not get to meet mate, but in four months, this is what was achieved:
Bye!
Pitty we did not get to meet mate, but in four months, this is what was achieved:
- Half your management are gone to Etihad
- Half of your crew has gone to the competition
- Half of your pilots are on their way out
- Michael Kent is in jail
- Uncertainty before you came
- Uncertainty after you leave
- The management team looks like an exclusive club of rich assholes out of reach and full of shiite
- Lost a lot of the company money on consultants
- Changed nothing
- Promised and never delivered
Bye!

Good news gentlemen, our all-knowing & supremely wise board have found the perfect replacement for AD. Indeed at this very moment high level talks are going on half way around the world in Orlando at the Walt Disney HQ. I seems dear brothers that the board are in the process of securing the sevices of Ali Baba & 40 of his top 'advisors'. Also the Little Mermaid is wanted in some 'other' cirles to perform certain favours. Daffy Duck is rumoured to be heading the PR dept & finally The Scrooge will be in the finance dept.
The only dark spot on this new shining vision of the board is that unfortunately they were unable to convince Pocahantas to sign with us.
Still we can dream though

The new CEO will be Dickless Cheney.
The new name will be Halliburton Gulfways...
Since both are corrupt, why not merge and turn it in to classy act?
We'll have free acces to iraqi oil, and they will have a deficit to hide their black figures in, to avoid the IRS.

These Words Will Hurt!!!
This is the first and last post I will write, and I am sorry to say but my following words will hurt many! I am writing the following with the utmost transparency.
Transparency, as used in the humanities, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning used in the physical sciences: a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through.
Well me being an ex Gulf Air F/O in the 90’s I have always been interested in what is going on and due to the recent incidents I have been looking with interest at this ‘Forum” for any insight on what is happening with GF.
I am sorry to say that it is no surprise that GF is in the state it is when it employs people with manners and behavior like many of you.
I have been shocked by the ignorance, hatred and racism that some of you write your posts!! I have never been in favor of such sites, I have done a big mistake by now being interested - the stupidity, selfishness and lack of maturity that some of you show is un acceptable and this is the reason I am writing.
We are supposed to be mature professionals with years of experience!! Where is the CRM that we are supposed to be living by not just on the job but in everyday life!?
I really feel sorry for the crew that has to spend nights and days flying with many of you. You give me a sense that you are boring, uneducated and with no interests in life at all.
(Spending time writing such obscene ideas on such a site is really petty) at least try and use this time to get everybody together and try save your company from being lost.
The message saying that this would be a chance to get a pay rise (like many others)is so selfish, do you guys do not see beyond your nose and realize how serious this is?? You might not have a job in a few weeks and all you think about is a pay rise!!!!!
I always thought that a forum is a portal for ideas to be shared and to educate one another instead this forum is being abused!!!! Shame.
This forum seems to be much more of a twelve year old blog, and many of you remind me of old Sicilian country woman back stabbing and foul mouthing their neighbor ( for you not knowing what a blog is please ask someone or google it)
Many of you seem very smart and intelligent as you have all the strategies and formulas to every solution – maybe you should give the post of the new CEO a try – considering that the last 2 CEOs (I am quoting your words here) have done nothing and that the company is in the state it is because of them, I am sure you will be able to do a better job then they did! Don’t you think?? You might shine!
Well with your attitude I believe that there will not be many employees working for the company if you did take over – EVERYBODY WOULD LEAVE.
Also I do not think you have 1% of courage to do so – you give me the feeling that you are a person that would throw a stone and hide his hand – A looser!!
To tackle the last few incidents that happened and how individuals are being questioned etc I wonder how it is only now that such actions are being taken – I ask my self is it may be these individuals are being used as a scapegoat?? (Please refer to a dictionary if you do not know the meaning) It is strange how many of you said that the pilfering happened since the Oz troop came in……Have you forgotten about what happened during the nineties!??? Have you really forgotten? Well or maybe you where blind, because it happened so ruthlessly in the open!!!
When it comes to fraud theft and corruption for me it is taboo….and for whom is “caught with their hand in the cookie jar”( again please google this it’s a saying) ………Yes there should be JUSTICE FOR ALL , and in the civilized world we also say Innocent until proven guilty. So stop pointing the fingers and only do so when there is proof!! Living life with such fanatical hatred makes life complicated for everyone – the most important for YOU! You achieve nothing and give back nothing by living this way.
Yes I agree that there are many locals that can run a company; many are doing so already and many of them are friends of mine – but Gulf Air is not a normal company run in the normal diplomatic system it has old ways of being run and this makes the job harder then any other job out there.
Only few locals will go for the job at hand, many know what kind of bureaucracy and ‘vicious circle of friends’ are behind the so called ‘pink palace’, they have been around so long and are now so powerful that they are well camouflaged and now Untouchable! It will be the continuation of the end if one of them will take over!
I wish you all the best for your future!! Take care and before you come back to me with foulmouthed replies, read between the lines and ask your self a few honest questions that deserve only honest answers!!
GOD BLESS !!

Dreamliner380,
Thank you so much for finally joining in our childish discussions. You post was very interesting, so much so that I nodded off a few times. Put that together with having to "google" or use a dictionnary in order to translate your post since we here cannot possibly have any idea what you are talking about because of your superior intellect.

AD Leaving!!!!!!!!
In one of my last posts I said "God Help Us All"!!!!
This is because the GDN said a Bahraini can run the show. In today's GDN they are still puhing for it. It's say's "if a bahraini can be a MP & a MP has more power than a ceo a Bahraini should do it".
One the very next page, the very same MP's who have more power than a CEO are pushing for a BLACKMAGIC & WHITCHCRAFT LAW.
This law will allow the legal punishment of all the witch's, wizards and worlock's out there.
Hey! lets stick all these Witch's, Wizards and Worlocks in a prison cell with some BEDKNOBS AND BROOM STICKS.
I SAY AGAIN.

Hell, make one the new CEO and we're dancin'!!!! I can see the GDN headline already!
"GulfAir magically back in the black!"

Sand in ...
According Swiss newspaper it was due to the recently announced increase in the board controlling management actions, since a certain gentleman (not Dose) had some irregularities in his financial responsibilities. There was a competence disagreement then.
Well in a way I feel sorry for Dose, although he never did hack it at Swiss . but once you get sand in the works...

Dreamliner380, Please crawl back to your hole!!!
Sorry, but if you don’t understand what such forums are for, then go consult before labeling everyone with ignorance. Your post did not add anything to this thread (if you don’t understand what anything means, it means anything good or bad).
If we were to follow your advice and be legal representative, then nothing would be said here ever, we might all pack up and go home.
And no your words didn’t hurt, only showed you as a lament.

clean money,good poeple
Stop comparing Dubai to Bahrain.
Bahrain is not in need of money laundering,to spent on its airline or have the tallest buildings.Bahrain has its poeple,to bring Gulf air,back and strong.
Emirates,Qatar,Etihad,,,how many local staff real citizens have,out of 7000 qatar airways how many Qatari are there 70,,700 same goes to others.Bahrain is not like other countries,Bahrain needs clean and honest poeple,not expatriate with intention of only getting rich by any mean and as fast as possible.

Rahla Sa'eeda!
Rahla Sa'eeda guys!
I never had much faith in AD, BN or their 'team' of teenagers. But then it is not entirely their fault. The reason Gulf Air is in such trouble is directly attributable to the corrupt, conflict of interest, greedy culture that is endemic in the 'higher' enchelons of our civilised
society.
I say it is too late; whilst we bicker amongst ourselves and run trying to hang people who have made mistakes, we are missing the big point here - RUNNING THE AIRLINE.
The last few months have been a public relations nightmare, fuelled by ours truly, the GDN.
And whilst we waste time, QR, EK, EY continue to grow.
Ladies and Gents, it has been a pleasure.
