i replied to the same as
e statement a while ago that the airline business is loosing money world-wide. This is not true at all . On the contrary some airlines are enjoying net margins of 20-30% and even the more prominent guys like BA LH etc are above 7% which the manufacturing industry will beg to have.
If anyone is privvy to reports from Goldman, Merrill, Morgan etc you got it in black and white.

The question remains.....
Who in the pink palace has the credentials to hold the titles they do??
The people who were appointed were done by the one who has no experience. BN
Lost leader?? He finds out the well being in the GDN. As we all do/did. There is no confidentiality within the upper ranks. Everyone leaks news saying I heard, I heard, I heard something from someone. Da plane, Da Plane where are they?
The Flight Deck are the professional ones who actually hold a certificate to prove their skills. Who else I ask?? Can produce something that clearly proves dedication and experience.
This is a world class game in a fierce local market. The Tri-Star days are over being the only Hamour in the neighborhood. For the sake of the skilled ones that put their careers on the line every time they buckle up-GF is no longer in the 70's and can not afford another mishap.
Get some real people that have real experience to keep the airline in business without hoping every year that some Sheik or investment group or some last minute savior will pay the bills. Wake up. There are two registered tourist agents in bahrain a total of 2 people that does not equate to tourism revenue that they can kick back to keep GF going. Two words....The Dhow. Nothing fixed in the government to avoid that happening again. The ME hubs are AUH and DXB. The traffic will be getting less and less.
Collect your paycheck-drink your beer-show up to work if you feel like it-take crap from unqualified management-Be concerned obout who is conducting your ride.
A little frustrated for the dedicated who bust their @#!@ yes. Is it right that the carrot keeps being replenished to keep the skilled ones in place you guys decide. It is shameful what they get away with.

Alber....gee man. The pay is in the system already with all the appropriate backdated items. And this thread is about new planes which are on the way. This is turning into a case of the impatient child itching soooooo much to open his present before Christmas. Show a little patience chaps. All will reveal itself soon. I bet when it starts to happen, a lot of you will start hunting for other issues to bitch and moan about. Grow up guys, you're really starting to embarrass us.

Ok Salty&weak, people are talking about BN competence, etc, so why not talk about the package again? This is the only real thing we are getting now...
Keep dreaming about new planes and please do not keep the checklist at the cockpit's lateral window when leaving the airplane, please! That is not a professional behavior...
... and don't forget... fly safe!

Hairynuts,
You are absolutely correct. I've been with GF for five whole minutes. The beauty about that is I only move in one direction when someone can't stand the company any longer (like you and many others) and leaves.
And yes, I take an active interest in the company's business (as an intelligent pilot should) and then come up with a model that I think best represents it. And if what I see has potential for my career and the overall outlook of the company, I give it a chance and stay.

The whole region is a farse when you compare it to comparible western practices. BAH, DOH, AUH, DXB, GF, QR, EY, EK......all have major issues of treatment of staff, organisational structure and leadership, and conditions, workload etc. Some do have shinnier planes and prepared to lose money and subsidise till the cows come home, given.
I'd say GF came through with pay albeit having taken an eternity and announced at the 11th hour-yet they came through.
Lets wait and see what eventuates aircraft order wise....remember if something takes 1 month to do in west it takes 6 months to do same in GCC. Why? ...well..that's a whole new debate.
All four carriers started off superbly..but in each case the glammour quickly wore away as the reality is the consistancy isn't there to maintain it.
PS-I hope you guys don't argue up front like on this forum when flying those magnificent machines-while we nieve pax are sipping champers and enjoying the fine cuisine GF does so well!
Maybe the cockpit doors are sound proof as well as bullet?
my 2 cents.

I thought you were up for the top job???????
Hey!!!! I hear that they have upgraded the land cruiser.
Let me know as I need a new car and I will apply. I am just as unqualified and unskilled as the rest of them. I sure I can screw things up just as well as the previous guy. And the Guy before that, and the one before that one and so on......well I sure you get the idea.

how come this thread is silent all of a sudden? wasn't this about new planes? goes to show that you're all like little birds, screaming until you get fed to be silenced. obviously, the last paycheck did just that!
now back to the issue at hand.
when is the announcement of new orders taking place?
