Thanks for the reply, I'm afraid I was being sarcastic as I do know where it is and indeed it is also known as Isla De Pascua in Chile. I did not know the coordinates though....
My sarcasm came after reading the 'new and future destinations' posts which included Kabul, another war zone.
Perhaps we should add Khandaher and Bagram as well....even more flights where our Life Insurance would not be valid.
Better fit flares and chaff dispensers to the Embraers then or are they already installed.

Easter Island? I highly doubt it... I have never heard of the place until now. The Island is located in the Pacific and right now GF is focusing on regional routes.This is one of the most ludicrous rumors I have read..The flight would take more than 12-13hrs and by looking at GFs old wide body fleet, it seems they are not interested in adding those long haul destinations.

Good news!!!!!!
Well, Well, Well,
Guess what guys? ... The fleet transfers have resumed! So, the geniuses up on the 1st floor who kept on saying that we are fat of pilots, now are saying that next mont we'll be 18 A330/340 guys short!!!!!! Hmmm, If they'd only read this post, perhaps they would have figured it out earlier that this was INEVITABLE!!!! And of course, as always they don't prevent but only react. So, once again, the "regular" line pilots were right and the geniuses on the first floor were .... out to lunch. And what about these 340? It seems to me that every time we get close to Xmas, they keep saying they'll get rid of it and they're still here, just like poverty on the world!!! Can't wait to see what they'll have to say on December 5th at 4pm! Oh wait, 4pm? ..... Isn't 4pm too late to work when you have an office job? ...

For many of you who are still in GF should carry out the following steps in order to avoid future disappointments.
1.Take not book and a pen/pencil.
2.write down all your hopes and dreams in what you would become in GF .and what you want GF to be.
3.write your hearts out and note down what ever comes to you mind (mainly positive points)
4.Close the book.
5.Flush it down the toilet closest to you/throw it in the fire place.
Your pick.

they only want pilots to THINK that, so they don't have to pay us what we are REALLY worth.
instead, they pay themselves a whole heap, and create allies from ground staff (who are more useless than the tits of a bull) by giving them some of the crumbs.

Nice article, I think we can't learn anything else at the meeting on the 5th! There we go folks, if our beloved master thinks we can do it, who are we to say we can't. Hmmm last time i heard "yes we can!", it didn't turn out too well for a particular president, sure he got elected, but nothing has changed! And now, it's clear, black and white, REGIONAL AIRLINE!!!!!!!!!!! Here's what in my opinion is the trouble at GFA.
1) The round table!!!
2) 30 airplanes = 4200 employes to run it!
3) If a person can't do the job he's been asked to, then hire someone else to do it for him while promoting that person to a manager of ___.
4) Thieves!!!! even our beloved master said it at the big meeting, "some people were creating a different pay scale for themselves while others were stagnant"
As they would put it in my native language .... don't do the crime if you can't do the time!!!!! When will people realize that this and all the GCC airlines were not created to make money but to simple show the neighbor that I have more money than you!!!!! If we all accept that, then there is no problem, these airlines are doing exactly what they were meant to do, and that is, show off!!!!! 100 A380 for Emirates!!!! Hellow, your population doesn't even have 1m!!!!!!
