GF Change of Livery

IS GF considering changing its new livery.?
It will be the saddest thing they can do.
GF has at the moment the best livery surely in the middle east if not in the world.
It is sad that people go to all this just to cancel memories of previuos managment even if the things where right.
RE think again GF the GOLDEN FALCON looks good.

What would be really cool is some new ife's and seats and carpets that dont look like a dilapidated bus station...customers see the inside more than the outside bit

i hope they change the cabin crew uniforms too, this one looks like your in a funeral, i suggest if they wanna reflect bahrain, they should have the girls in red and white, that should be very attractive and fresh.and the boys in dark Navy blue.

oh ...... and they should really drop the jackets and Ti's in the summer months, every one is just sweating their a......s off.

the flight deck in a standard black.....

Anybody noticed...
The people who make the uniform decision are sitting in air conditioned offices.

For the life of me, I will never understand ties and jackets in the desert for the cabin crew. EY has the best cabin crew uniforms IMHO. Maybe a similar design for pilots (no ties)?? Or a seasonal uniform?

IMHO it is the EY uniforms that look like everyone to going to a funeral.

EY uniforms look like surplus Chairman Mao suits from the 1950's and 60's in the People's Republic of China. Almost suits their reporting culture and their "Great Leap Forward" environment.

QR's uniform (pre-2007) was fab! Especially that colourful blouse for the ladies!

Ok I agree, the EY boys uniform sorta look like Chairman Mao outfits.

IB has the more important point. The inside of the aircraft matters infinitely more. My 10 year old son travelled to Bahrain on EY and back on GF. Embarassing that even he made a comment on which airline he preferred, purely based on the IFE. Service aside, that's the only other thing passengers judge airlines by. Oh, and on the pilots landing. Sad but true.

To add my 2 cents/ 100 fils

They would be crazy to change the livery. It does look the best in the Mid East, they have only managed to get all of the aircraft into the current paint in the last year, not to mention the 'new to us' aircraft painted in the last few months. Must have too much money in the bank.

Concentrate on the inside, the interiors are disgusting for 'the airline of choice'. And the entertainment is not even coming close to the competitors.

P.S. PA systems could use some work (A9C ET)

et needs more than an engine runup. that aircraft is unsafe anyway you look at it!!

the tech delays and subsequent loss of business and confidence by the travelling public will contribute to gf's burgeoning daily loss (now MORE than a million a day, edging towards a million and a half)

all pilots rostered on it cringe and some even go sick!

whichever monkey(s) was involved in purchasing et and es (no doubt with personal rewards involved) should be SHOT!!!
corruption is not only a cancer in any establishment, but a very real danger to lives.
