I would not put too much hope in the recent change in board members & a few chiefs. The new guys will still have the same MO as the previous thieves & you must remember that after all they are only selected due to,either, their superb skills of thievery or pimping.
The show must go on...

So when are the Embraers leaving us? Can't be long now that it is so plain for everyone & their donkey to see that it is a big f*** up & don't even mention the utilisation of the 2 that are here at the moment.

ATH is out and no longer on E170. Payload issues from what I understand.
Suspect the same will be true on Istanbul, Larnaca and just about everywhere they choose to try.

While I appreciate that there may be those who would be excited about such a thing (not sure if it is true or not), I would be concerned about what this means long-term for Gulf Air and the signal it sends to the industry as a whole.

I just pray that the idiots running the show pay for this big time. Just for a friggin position, they are using those hard working pilots and crew as a stepping stone to achieve their goals. I pray for their termination..

I find it quite incredible that anyone would have thought that the Embraer was a suitable aircraft for Gulf Air (particularly on routes like ATH, IST, LCA) due to payload issues and of course the baggage problem.
Surely everyone knows what kind of pax GF carries and how a large majority of them take everything but the kitchen stove with them when they fly.
It really does beggar belief (incidentally, why the hell do we use that phrase?) that such a basic piece of information could have been overlooked.
But that my friends is GF. Incompetence taken to a level never previously dreamed of.

MANAMA: The Bahrain International Airport (BIA) has been named at Middle East Airport of the year 2010.
It wan top honours at the Skytrax World Airport Awards in Brussels.
Attended by top management from airports around the world, this award was among 30 awards presented by Skytrax chairman Edward Plaisted.
"Passengers are looking for the easiest airport experience, and BIA's uniqueness as a compact airport, combined with premium staff efficiency and speed of processes has attributed to its win," he said.
In the award ceremony organised by Skytrax, the judging panel cited easiest and most efficient experience as the key judgment criteria.
BIA's ability to deliver on those criteria, to provide passengers a significantly different travel experience as a result, has led to its success.

"Since its inception, BIA has focused on bringing the best service to its passengers. This award is proof of our commitment to excellence, and represents the first step to enhancing the status of BIA - allowing it to feature competitively in a global arena."
"With the new expansion plans for BIA, the current levels of speed and efficiency will be further enhanced, to deliver the highest standards," he added.
