Why Gf Is Sinking

[Icarus]

320 corrosion? EO had a cabin attendant seat removed for a while due to a corrosion issue prior to re-registration; not heard of any others.

Another reason to close the door on the way out!

Gulf-Daily-News today.


MANAMA: Gulf Air has reinstated sacked employee Mohammed Salim Khamis as trade union president. The decision follows negotiations between management and the union, Gulf Air Chief Executive Bjorn Naf said yesterday.

Mistaken perception

Mohamed should be made PCE, this should clarify the agenda for everyone in the company.

Useless PCE already so what is the change, this is Gulf Air.

Go Bahrain Go!

and while we are at it, why don't we open a music room for the ardha dance?

Bjorf Nan should seriously consider this if he wants to improve the working atmosphere in the pink palace

gulf air needs a ceo like al baker who can turnaround the whole structure into a discplined organisation,like he brought qatar airways to wher it is today.inspite the controversies about his leadership it is but obvious that he is a man with vision to bring up an airline to wher it stands today

You may well be right. The solution may well be having a benevolent Bahrani with a little-Hitler complex, with a sharp eye for quality and standards who enjoys the support of the Ruling Family and is willing to whip into shape or ship-out any resisters or non-compliers regardless of nationality, affiliations, etc.

Of course, if that happens, it will probably largely destroy the overall enjoyable work environment that has been Gulf Air's hallmark, making me question whether it is worth staying at (I don't think I want to work at a Qatar Airways or its clone).

Tough situation. But in the meantime, I would be pleased to have something else that we haven't had for over a year at Gulf Air, namely strong, visible, long-term (not just for 2 or 3 months) leadership.

Al Baker..not in my book..I go back a lot of years with this bloke.
He got to where he is via CAA Qatar, and being right up the Althani`s jacksee`s ..he trusts no one and anyone that crosses him beware...
Mind you his baby care shops done very all those years ago
But you never know, he appears to have done a fair job at Qatar, he has the power with no interference for the Ruling family..... although it would not be like that in Bahrain, with that bunch of amatuers who call themselves a board of directors..Sorry GF

You got the 'amateur' bit right with the Board, however we certainly don't need a megalomanic to sort it out. Funny about the 'baby care' shops however...that might just work

Ciao

[Bebsi Nocoke]

I would actually what AAB can make of GF....

Interesting times if that happened!

[rextravels]

The board should have taken a look at the the turn arround guy who in the fall put his hat in the ring. As they were based on success not just talk. But the board would rather have a yes man, then someone who wants to turn the company around.

Any news about the fleet renewal? I heard A321s is coming from RJ soon.

[Sultan85]

I hope it will be handed on time this time because taking out the remaining B767s soon will have a big impact into the operations if not so
