For sure, this will be the nail in the coffin! I imagine another 10 guys will sign up for it and ... my salami!!!!! GFA just doesn't get it do they. They must do either one of these things,
1) Increase the pay package (yeah sure!!!)
2) Give us a better schedule and more time off (dreaming!!!!!)
3) Stop pissing off people with this EMB bs!!!! (they have only started!!!)
4) Stop failing people at the command interview (duahhh!!!!!)
5) Stop the bahrainisation bs,
Since they have started this, they have laid off good people and from what I hear, their bahrainisation project is not going that well either. God bless them for wanting to make it 100%, it's the perfect scenario, however, you can't do it in 3 years!!!! There are too many expats involved and we need to work together towards trying to make this company a "profitable" one. We all ready have the best working environment in the GCC, everyone know it. So let's stop the stealing and back stabbing and get this show on the road!
ps. by the way, yes I will be attending the EK open doors! Just to keep my options open. What?.... I'm just looking out for myself, cause I see how well the company looks up for us and ... well ... their are not doing a great job at it!
Cheers!!!!! Long live GFA!!!

I think time has come for management to resign with bit of Grace and respect or else face the invitable boot.
The rumor has it, AQP manager has resigned from the company, 10 training captains have resigned from training.Any one still happy in Gulf Air, please reveal yourself.

The one thing I have found interesting is that one of the few things that are not 'broken' with the airline are the crews. Yet, they seem to be the first ones to be targeted for cost-cutting. Is this undue focus deliberate to mask the real failings of the commercial and strategy departments? Penny-wise and pound-foolish comes to mind.

I don't think management has anything to say in this whole s...pile. However, the knights at the round are the REAL problem. Kind of thinking about it, it makes sense. They really don't care about the company, all they care about is getting their side of the pie and that's it. When they don't get enough of the pie they change the whole 3rd floor! Also, whatever money they give out to our beloved company, they take back. This whole "giving" is only a publicity stunt. It's like those kind of people who will take out their best suits in order to take a picture and then put it back in the closet and wear their old, dirty clothes!!!!!
As for the blaming part, haven't you guys realize that it's a custom here to put the blame on someone else?! It's never anyone's fault, Hell, if they could blame the Costa Coffee staff they would!!!!!
Ah EK is coming to town, expect more exodus and God bless this company!
My Salami!
Actually it's more like THEIR salami! only a question of time...

Are you regretting leaving Landflap? Is that why you insist on bitter posts about a company that employed you in good faith?? Obviously your new life isn't that great, or GF would be a thing of the past for you....

BOM Evacuation Drill!!!
Hey what the Hell is wrong with the DGCA in India!!!! They are conducting evacuation drills randomly!!!! Last they delayed BA in BOM for 2hrs by "practicing" a bomb threat!!!! NICE GOING!!! I'm sure the Captain and the whole crew really appreciate it!!! Now we have to watch out for any suspicious call!!!! What the hell is wrong with this industry specially in that part of the world!!!!! They got rid of the english but not the bureaucratic bs!!!!
PS. And for those of you who are thinking that it's in our best interest, you guys are on CRACK!!!!!!! That's what happens when you have 1.3bn people who have nothing to do, you just piss off people by inventing new ideas on how to piss off people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Confirm through Security?" 
Actually, the India DGAC story reminds me of some NASA ASRS reports a few years ago of how, in one country, fighter jocks practiced their intercept skills on airliners. It wasn't appreciated by the Flight Crew.
Causing a delay to an airliner on a revenue flight is not cool. I like to think that BA will send the airport authority/DGAC the bill and that IATA & ICAO will be jumping down DGAC's throat.
