Like most things in GF and Bahrain its all talk just to save face.

These guys can't even get the current operation to be profitable without adding more routes. So unless the crown prince is going to fund this (which he won't as it means less for him to spend on his pleasures) then its all talk.

GF had its chance for the past 12 months to firm up a new aircraft order .. now unless it leases no chance of new planes for a few years, especially with BA now ordering new a/c.

The Chairman can't even run a bath let alone a company

Well said, just a load of the usual bull****. When is the corrupt and useless BoD going to stop interfering in a business of which they have absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE whatsover

Ahh, come on guys....
There are plenty of dstinations in third and fourth world countries left for us to fly to.
Places you'd have to Google to know where they are.

Sounds like the start of a new thread:

"Places Gulf Air could fly to that no other airline would think of going"

Maybe, it is true!

But what if it is really true
I would be well happy

I hear Gf is going to either order the Airbus a350 or the boeing dreamliner.

Oh, Is it true that Gf will be making flights to manchester and other destinations, Cos it says it on wiki!

CMB

And why would GF want to fly to CMB?
Its not profitable - ask EY they pulled out of the route even though they don't have to worry about profits.

Its all about saving face.
You can see the Sheikhs and Amirs at the next GCC meeting, bragging about their large fleet orders and all the new sky rise building being built.

C'mon guys...GF shrinking, you bag them. GF's wave schedule, you bag em. GF consolidation plans for future growth, you bag em...New payscale, not enough, you bag em. GF's announcement for growth, you bag them.
Guys guys guys, GF had made every right move possible in order to bring the airline around. Some left, some left happy, others bitterly. The ones who remained are happy to, others continue with their tyraid of negativity and immaturity while a very few are busting their guts trying to run the show.
There's only two female pilots in GF and I bet all of the bitching hadn't been by them, but by you female wannabees. Not only is it bitchy, but downright childish.

Oh and the other thing? You may have noticed the lack of "WE CAN DO IT" catch phrase by BN. That's probably because that was the plan. Now, it's more "WE ARE DOING IT". I look forward for the day when it becomes "WE HAVE DONE IT!!!" Don't you guys want to be a part of that?

Mark my word, this airline will have an impressive show or two in the next coupla years. As for you whinging whining bitches, lalalalalalala, I can't hear you, lalalalalalala...just bugger off.

Just to remind everyone that Sal-e (Sad-e) is a newbie in GF and still bonded so as such has no option to leave the stinking ship. As a result he has become an apologist for Naff and the other corrupt, thieving, lying shower in the pink palace. Just so you know and don't fall for the propaganda he spouts.

Being called a girl by someone who comes from a country where the men wear grass skirts is a bit rich

Always remember to wipe your nose well after such events.
