The main job is to find the head of any department to slap. Not easy. But lots deserving. Good luck, hope you get the culprit.
Have done the online thingy myself, not looking forward to the paper side of it.

On the last day of April we received HR Update- Issue 10 from Mr. A. Al Banna, in which he expressed his disappointment with the number of responses to the Employee Satisfaction Survey.
I took the time to complete it, but I wondered what the real use of the survey was-- it asked extremely vague "statistical" types of questions about the entire Human Resources Department (which from my understanding has a very wide scope of responsibility ranging from Housing, to getting visas renewed, to Staff Travel and other odds & ends). Some of us have had more experiences with one area than others. The survey allowed for no additional comments, in other words, an opportunity for responders to identify problem areas. So after completeing the form I had to ask myself "what have I really accomplished?"

I assume people might be afraid also to fill it out since I heard it is web-based survey. In that case, they might be able to know exactly who filled which survey (i.e. it is not a completely anonymous one). Given what has been happening with GF in the last year, I would say Icarus's point is the main one (people do not care anymore or see that it will do any good).

Staff travel 6 staff they control 5000 staff,
I heard from some of the staff that they can not issue a ticket on other airlines in the system .WHY?
Now is E-TKT time so things should be smooth, what they will do if they out of the country and there is no staff travel?
If there is a system why they need staff travel or managers to run it

To all my respects to readers and gf staffs which they are reading this forum, but unfortunately gulf air staffs, they are lazy to read or learn and unfamiliar with the new technology which is gulf air they spend millions to make it so easy. the e tickets it can be done at home with few min,s but some as their brain not functioning ,they have to come to staff travel to waste them time and others for silly question , we can’t blame it in the staffs (( staff travel )) which I found them working hard and they try them best to satisfy each persona and I do believe and I,m sure others they do agreed with me that gulfair staff s ,they have to learn to read as a huge booklet with full information been published long time ago ,and I,m a hundred percent sure only few read it , so the questing shell will blame it on them or in others staff whom incapable to learn or read. I’m so disappointed to read an article blaming the staff because of their religions or believe and who wrote this article he has to look himself at home and to gain knowledge in manner s, and regarding they whole staffs working their they need to be salute and appreciation full of their effort they done ,
Thanks for your time

Staff travel must be visited when obtaining offline and sometimes online tickets due to e-system deficiencies...the last time i visited (dec 2007) one kind lady with glasses was doing all the work, while the others were on their mobile phones or on break...
I agree with Aqua71 that insulting comments towards individuals nationalities/religious backgrounds are out of line, however ther IS a motivational/productivity issue with a FEW employees at staff travel...when all the automatic/computerized systems are available then it will be much improved...keep in mind all of our staff/crews may not have satisfactory online access to be able to complete the transactions they require, so a personal visit to staff travel becomes necessary.
It becomes a bit disappointing in particular to our cabin crews who treat all passengers whether they be revenue, or other staff on personal travel, with the same respect and level of service, just to be jerked around by the very staff whose SOLE purpose is to provide service to GF staff..
No doubt there have been many improvements in staff travel, now a review of task-sharing assignments, and individual productivity there may be in order to further reduce the time needed to serve each individual customer...yes we are their customers, and we need to be seen as such!

Hissing Did
Well Girls
You should have been there in the 1970/80's When Staff travel was in the OLD airport complex. If you could get an ID90 ticket within two days you felt that you had done well.
There were two sofa's at the back of the customer counter. So that you could kip down for the night and be first in the queue next morning.
Good to hear that Jamila is so fondly remembered.
Plus ca change. Sid.

So nothing changes!!
Really amused to read the comments about staff travel. I was in Gulf Air during the 70's and most of the 80's. It was a nightmare then, and clearly is for most now. Used my free "firm" ticket to go to S Africa a few years ago, got the feeling all through the Gulf stops that their main intent was to try and off load me!! Prefer to buy BA tickets now.
