No Shirley i was not.fyi , i joined gulf air in the 90s as a first officer. i also have a bachelor degree in business management and was anticipating to get a chance to work in the business department with gulf air. due to some personal issues and issues with the job security , i left GF to join QR ( again as a first officer). i was given a great opportunity to start a small company . As a pilot ,it was a great opportunity to see the world and build up some connections which helped me develop a small business.

Actually you could have bought a big business in the UK and waited a few years and you would have then had a small business.
The reason that there are no words from the upper management may be:
1. Perhaps majali is about to go . Think of it, why do they need a Bahraini deputy CEO?
2.The plan is undergoing drastic changes and it takes alot of time to make statistical values for a new plan.
3.:the management are trying to keep the staff in the dark as they do not want lose them in one go.because the airline is going through sever cost cutting.
Its quiet ironic to talk to the gulf air pilots. Last year, a chap was excited as he may have a chance to get promoted to the 330-300. and we all know what is going on now.

We all turned off the lights. Car Wash boys keep turning them back on again. Inept Management do not know how to turn lights on or off. But that is what you get when you get into and stay in GF Management based on "who" you know, rather than "What you know". Absolutely no hope now for this silly little flying club. Get out well you can chaps.

Have the balls..Come on!
After reading all the latest developments and how low GF is heading, everyone calls out for a Pilot meeting and still complain about the situation with A.A. from rostering. In my opinion, if most pilots were real men and had the guts, then everyone should stand up, be firm and get together and demand answers. I know it is difficult in the current situation where there is a feeling of if one opens their mouth, God knows if you will still have a job..but if people unite and stand together, perhaps management will realise that they can't play around any longer...We are not speaking of not flying on days off, etc...The fact of the matter is calling every pilot to a meeting and everyone available standing firm and really having their say.

Daily Mail!What next?
One of my mates informed me today that it is posted on the Crew Aims system of Gulf Air, that there is a message to crew of "HIGH" importance, that the CSM operating out of LHR on GF 002 everyday, should bring back copies of Daily Mail etc...My question is..why is bringing back a tabloid newspaper such as Daily Mail of highest priority? Who is benefiting from this? How low can one stoop to request such stuff on a professional crew web site? This is amazing!

Emirates is desperately looking for new pilots (F/O and perhaps DEC). What are you guys waiting for? I can understand that losing seniority could be very inconvenient but thatīs better than a wellfare check, isnīt it. Guys, please, donīt wait for the Titanic to finally sink because it inevitably will. Good luck gentlemen.

Damn, another smart a**. Everyone knows about the current career opportunities in the Gulf region.
P.S. Ur statment sounds more like from someone at the bottom of the SL, trying to get higher.
"Guys, please, leave...."
i guess GF pilots are not that stupid, that they cann't decide what to do themselves
