Fuel is Cheap in Bahrain

Few mornings ago a GF A/c coming from the sub-continent asked Muscat control east that he needs a decent to level 20,000 or even lower.The controller was surprised and asked if the a/c had a tech problem as they were another 1hr and half from bahrain.The captain confidantly said they need to burn gas as they will be over weight for landing..... what the f....

GF please buy your boys add up devices, then show them how to use it and also show them the price of gas..

Maybe thats one of the reasons why new planes will not make their way to GF... no money

Jock, you joined GF a whinger, tortured us during your stay here with your never-ending-whinging and now after you have left, you still carry on about GF issues. Stay with your own game plan.

As for your comment on somebody else's method of operation, it's damn right unprofessional to judge in the manner you did. Why I'm even wasting my time to reply to your post is beyond me.
