Heard that there were some auditors from SH&E doing some sort of an inspection of GF, about a week ago.
Any idea on what they had to say? Their report the last time was quite embarassing to GF and I do not see a shift in the standards since then.

you must be sitting by your computer ready to hijack every meaningful thread that is written in this forum with your dimwit, inane, shallow, immature and downright stupid comments. if you work for gf, then no wonder the airline is in its current state.
you are now on my blocked list.

skybed, i dont know what you're posting for you have been nailed on my ignore list a while now. But a thing to mention is that in every single page of this thread, one or two members are commenting on your attitude.
All these members cant be wrong, and you right. So grow up and show some respect around here. Your childish attitude and comments have no place here.
Peace.
Oh and thanks to you, I came to know of the ignore button thingy

Well Mr Majali is finally climbing down from his high horse since yesterday he sent a letter to King Hamad begging & kissing a**-I guess he thought that cos he's a favored one of King Abdullah of Jordan that he could be a big hero here in Bahrain. Obviously it didnt go as he planned. Also, with the discovery that his brother inlaw is working for Embraer & his shares in the company he is not looking like the golden boy of aviation management anymore.
Congratulations to the guys that resigned in ZRH. Nicely done.
Expect some big announcement next month-not sure what it is cos that is all I have been told.
p.s. Dont listen to the rumors that we are short or we are loosing too many pilots everything is just fine

If we are not short of crew , then what do you call 90 hours a month every month for the last god knows how many months?
I don’t believe every thing I hear, however, I do believe my body when it tells me I’m working too hard.

Mephis, I hope what you're saying is true and not based on mere speculations and wild rumours. But regarding the ZRH guy resigning, i dont think this is true, cause i was in the office and there was no mention about it.
I, however was so sad to see some pics of my good friends and colleagues on the resignation list. Sad to see Gf lose such guys. Enjoyed flying with them and enjoying their company in every sense but C'est la vie.
God help us all with this CEO, who tricked us into misconception and never have I nor anybody of my colleagues witnessed such negative and atrocious atmosphere lingering around the company and the crew alike...

this is a cultural norm in this part of the world.

you just can not beat the old physiology to tell you the truth, even when they say you are not legally tired.
Also, with the discovery that his brother inlaw is working for Embraer & his shares in the company he is not looking like the golden boy of aviation management anymore.
- if it can be stolen, steal it.
- if it can be bribed, bribe for it.
- if it can be a$% f#$ked, just do it.

Yes plan is to do away with F-class on all longhaul flights. Basically it will be 2-class product with a premium cabin offering full lie flat beds etc etc...
Sensible move especially the news that QF is to remove F-class on many of its aircraft inc A380.

Sounds extremely sensible to me. Everybody wins.
Basically, First Class product remains but at Business Class fares. Business Class passengers, in turn, enjoy the First Class style seats which are on par with what other airlines in the region are offering. So both our traditional Business Class and First Class passengers should be quite happy.
Also a pretty cost-effective way to improve standards, as only the Business Class seats will have to be torn out and replaced with what are now First Class-style seats (rather than a complete replacement of all seats foreward of Economy Class). As always, the challenge which remains is delivering a consistenly quality product.

I agree with all what you said Panama, but how on earth would you expect the passengers getting the best service and products on board, when nearly all of the cabin crew have got their morales squashed. Jobs threathened and shortage of crew on board is on the agenda. The main assets in an airline is not really the products, but those who deliver the products. Having the best products is essential but the way of delivering them is of higher importance.

Skybeds, what the hell are you doing on pprune at 00:04 in the morning, get a life amigo, or an idea of what you are talking about. There are many companies that deliver a great product with embraers. You must be one of those guys that makes the rest of us look like a bunch of brainless monkeys when you go talk to the chiefs....which by the sounds of it is in your nature as well. Do us a favour, stay off pprune, and most of all don't talk to anybody at headquarters, unless you're ordering a costa coffee, we have an image to keep. Thanks
