E-190s on delivery
It seems the E-190s are on their way simultaneously:

Nice photo, stefan1138. Nice shiny, new airplane. Sadly it will have pen markings on the panels, greasy fingerprints all over the screens of the MCDU's and Display Units and spilled coffee/juice on the floor in short term. Why why why?????? 
Yeah, so I heard, SandShovel. Hopefully "temporary"and "short-term" doesn't become "renewal after renewal" for "years and years" this time around. . . or worse.

I am a bit puzzled here. First GF announces that they need regional aircraft smaller than the 320s which they already have. But then they just shoot the 737s at your face.Sad to see that the lack of organisation in the company still lives on. The 737s were wet leased to GF a couple of years ago but they werent worth it . If they want a regional carrier, stick with the 320 for crying out loud.
787s have been moved upto 2019 . 330s are in process of negotiation.So dont expect to find a brand new wide body any time soon
Nice to see that our neighbours are doing great.

latest and greatest
from what i hear, and it's worth what it's worth, SM is making EMB corp pay for all the **** that's been happening. they don't like it but they have to according to the contract. they get 6 crew free per each airplane. now the 319LR are not coming anymore. yes, possible 738 which could keep some of the folks put intill further notice. the rest of the EMBs will be stopped...
diagnosis... the thieves who are still in the company and are untouchables
prognosis... SSDD (same s... different day)
nothing will change boys and girls, don't get your hopes up and just do your jobs, if not happy, leave... and if you can't leave ... just do your job and try leave harder . keep it up folks, great things are happening and you are being part of it!

Elaboration
1) every day you wake up and you're alive = a great thing
2) every day you wake up without an illness = a great thing
3) every day you wake up and see the sun = a great thing
4) every day you wake up and are with loved ones = a great thing
5) every day you wake up and have a job = a great thing
6) every day you wake up and get to eat and drink as you please = a great thing
7) should I go on ? ....
those are the great things that we are part of every day, the rest is pointless!!!! Oh yeah, one more thing ... be happy to be part of a great thing!!!!

Conundrum?
"Gulf Air boss Samer Majali faces one of the most crucial commercial decisions to date.."
After, what, 18 months in charge?
Saving GBP1M per annum - approximately the equivalent of one days operating losses at GF - it seems Majali just needs another 364 similar ideas and GF might just get back into the black!
Answers on a postcard please! PO Box 138, Kingdom of Bahrain.

Some CEO!

214, these contributors are not CEO's and don't get paid as CEO's!!!! Odd that, considering they are not CEO's.
Considering the boys at GF have gone through 4 CEO's over the last 5 years is it any suprise that they lack confidence in their 'leader'. Even more to the point--their future is directly tied to the CEO's abilities and choices and so they have every right to make judgment! In the same way that they would be judged for an error on the line.
Finally, look through all of the GF posts and you will see lots of suggestions from people on this forum. The most noticable being the need to stamp out corruption!!!

Nothing new here. Money comes in, thieves line their pockets, crew work harder in a foolish attempt to bring in revenue for the company. Crew get scewed over, or if the case of cabin crew-fired.
Majali sitting in his office rubbing his hands in anticipation of the new cash injection.
E195s having tech problems from day 1, but he still insists that this is the right direction for GF to take.
2 of the "5 reasons to fly Gulf Air" are delayed due to lack of a/c & the unreliabilty of the Embraer.
In all my years here I have never seen a CEO such a huge disregard for our operating enviroment/customers, but I guess thats the commission singing.
The only thing that you can bet your bottom dollar on in GF is that a bigger thief is always waiting round the corner to jump into the CEO position.
Lets see what they will do next to drop our moral another peg down, as I have learnt well here that there is always another depth for this airline to sink to.

Pay OFF GF Debt
The published loss at GF last year was US$500 million, that's half the money gone already. I can't see the loss for the coming 12 months being much less, so that's the capitol injection spent before the ink dries

1Bn!!!
My theory is that GFA is trying to get their s... together in order to become attractive for sale. To whom? Hey we saw a few weeks ago that article that BA was interested in partnership here in the GCC, could it be that ......
time will tell...
