G-FULL, unfortunately the a/c was operating a sheduled Bah Air flight back to Bah but was refused permission to depart by Nepalese Civil Aviation due to non payment of landing & handling fees.

Will you still be there when I need you?
I read this forum every couple of days,together with others in which I am more involved.
Thank goodness I am not on the payrole as I would be suicidal by now!
As a GF punter I have a major worry - I have a quarter of a million FF miles which I would like to use to treat my family in C or F in 2011.
Questions
a) do you expect to be still open for business ?
b) will you still be flying from LHR ?
and
c) will you still have premium cabins.?

sky beds are old news. no wonder people who use GF first class have been greatly reduced, no AVOD (the TV screen is very unclear),the GF skybeds are outdated
How can a genuine First Class (or Business Class) passenger fly on an aircraft with NO entertainment (as in nothing at all! Never mind AVOD. They don't even have a semblance of entertainment, not even cartoons!) on a 10 1/2 hour flight???
THIS is the reason GF is losing (or lost) these passengers. And they choose to address the situation by removing F class since nobody's flying F class anyway. Had they only fixed this problem, they could have still maintained a few loyal customers.

The million dollar First Class (or Business Class) question:
How can a genuine First Class (or Business Class) passenger fly on an aircraft with NO entertainment (as in nothing at all! Never mind AVOD. They don't even have a semblance of entertainment, not even cartoons!) on a 10 1/2 hour flight???

just read some of the reviews here
GULF AIR customer reviews and Gulf Air Passenger Opinions about Gulf Air product and Gulf Air service standards
. mainly the complaints are delays and bad cabin.. GF lacks the basic element in which they could keep their loyal customers.
just the other day in F class i heard 2 business men discussing why they will never fly gulf air again. untill 2003 gulf air used to get alot of business travellers.but since those delay started and people started missing their meatings GF became one of the most hated airline. but keeping the first class ONLY in the 333s would be a better idea rather than removing it completely because the airline could at least say that they have the first class so many people like ss flyer would still be happy with their gold FF card. and the airline did recieve an award winning best FF deals so why not try to retain that award by keeping the F class in a couple of jets..just to make people happy

you nailed it capt hair y balls. the patient died when the last gcc patner pulled out. GF was designed to loose money, it didn't matter then. they were always there to pump in the dough every 6 months. now that bahrain has squeezed them all out, it's hurting to pump in the cash all by themself. remember the old saying - be careful what u wish 4....u might get it.

All information given is subject to change without prior notice or warning.
I believe Che was making a valid point by insinuation! Under these circumstances at GF, it's becoming increasingly unstable enviroment and unsuitable to do any good business. Every now and then there are new strategies and action plans with a big promise of bringing the company back to the right direction. But it was never ever too long before the absolute opposite of these strategies took place, with some claims AGAIN that this time the correction path to be followed is so god damn clear! Between this and that, there were those blood-sucking bugs jumping on the back of the "secured closets" to finance the plans and to ensure the implementation if the the "righteous strategies"!
By the same token, there are rumours floating up the the air that after handing off the company to the government, the latter will go in the privatization way while giving Mr. CEO a very short time to make a dramatic change very rapidly!! Now if this is really the way they want to play it, it's going to be a very long time until they are out of the dark tunnel, that's if they are to come out of it at all.
Yes my friend Che, you were spot on!

Gulf Air is sinking and sinking much faster than previously predicted. Good friends of mine, Captains and First officers have resigned and many more are to come. such a shame to see GF losing such loyal & hardworking employees. All this to keep Mr. CEO happy with his embraer crap.
The A320 fleet is suffering and will actually suffer more in the coming days due to the massive flow of resignations.
One time or another we thought that a certain ( not far away ) company was abusing human rights. Now GF has surpassed them by their newly embraced terminology , Embraer Or Resign.
I am disgusted by this whole new strategy of forcing people to resign. Its high time that the management, board members and all involved realise that Majali is burying this company alive whilst lining his pockets .
