crew control does not need excuses becasue they have a free pass. lets be honest guys there is NO consequences for people in this airline. there are no checks and balances in that office period! if they knew how a real crew control should work they would fir all of them starting with AA and overhaul. that being said someone would have to WANT to come here and WANT to fight all the BS to actually make it work!!!

i heard majali say that he doesn't care what type of aircraft GF gets and sees them as profit margins (or something like that).
what an idiot i guess he barely cares about the product GF has to offer.instead he would like the airline to make money so the guy could get his commision.

Gulf Air Looking to hire A320 Captains
Last Update 2010/01/25: Looking to hire A320 Captains.
Its going from bad to worse for any senior FO's who were in line for command this year. Now they are going as FO's on the ERJ and GF gets DEC's!

I can not hold inside me my revolutionary-Anarcho backround....
If that happens I suggest no F/O must show up for work. Everybody call sick for 1 day. But for a real strike we must be present outside of the company protesting.
How about it let 's be initiative and do the first pilots strike in the Gulf Region.
It sounds like fun

Was just reading through the criteria for Bahraini cabin crew..one of the requirements is that your single, and have no children..
Is this an industry standard requirement for cabin crew?
Why would having a boyfriend or a husband be disqualifying?

let me once again refer you to my earlier list of possibilities/probabilities:
i would like to change item18 to:
18. the conditions are such that senior expat f/os end up resigning in disgust as conditions ie DECs, wetleased pilots getting permanent contracts etc etc.
plus
23. all that silence resulting in the above plays it all into gf's hands ie pushes 'bahrainisation' without much effort on their part but by simply accelerating natural attrition.
picture this, expat f/os at gf.
1. silence from the top.
2. more silence from the top.
3. half hearted attempts by a few local pilot friends that it will all be ok.
4. silence from the top.
5. half hearted attempts from fleet office to pretend plan is in progress.
6. silence from the top.
7. you get TOLD to move DOWN to the a320 fleet or the e-jet fleet.
8. silence from the top.
9. fleet office tells you command delayed by 3 to 5 years because 'wetleased' jordanians have been given permanent contracts and/or gf captains over 60 get 5 more years on the e-jets.
10. silence from the top.
11. neighbouring airlines stop hiring.
12. friends who left for neighbouring airlines get their commands on widebody.
13. gf asks for voluntary paycuts.
14. silence from the top.
15. gf still bleeding money because corruption and bad planning STILL rampant.
16. gf gets another ceo, fifth in five years.
17. silence from the top.
18. fleet office changes seniority rules to push 'bahrainisation'.
19. fleet size shrinks including tuktuks and jungle jets.
20. no warning, letter from the top terminating your contract without as much as a thankyou for wasting your life on gf.
21. you leave in denial, demoted, disgruntled, deflated, demoralised, and devastated for being that stupid fool that allowed gf to dance all over and wasted years of your career.
22. silence from the top.

sirwa69,
I believe that we have had more upgrades for Bahrainis than you think & most were not "pushed" as you say, but me thinks you are a tad racist old boy. Time for you to relax & take a long slow look around you.
I do hope that they remember the last time that Bahraini's were pushed up we got a Captain called Sam

Brass, u truly amaze me. One day u write a lot of sensible stuff which i admire and then u follow it up with nonsense.
I do know for a fact that their are quite a few bahrainis that didnt make it thru their line command assessment nor the command interview stages.
One thing that we got to give GF and with credit is that their training is without a doubt one of the finest u can come across.
And just for your info there are some bahrainis Capts and FOs who are thinking of leaving or have actually resigned during this recent crisis and trust me with much more to come. Some really good pilots too...Shame on you GF for letting these guys walk away easily from your pink palace.

[QUOTEi look around me and see a high proportion of expat f/os failing their commands and bahrainis who shouldn't be captains at all getting theirs. facts speak for themselves.][/QUOTE]
I can only think of a few guys that have failed their upgrades & believe me they all deserved it. 4 guys out of countless many does not seem like a high proportion to me but that's just my personal opinion. Did you fail your command by any chance? Maybe you should use the wonderful FORDEC model & re-check your facts.
