No need for an A380, they've just had two A340s back from lease, and they even managed to get them freshly painted, on the lessee's dime The GDN is reporting that if you add them up you get a 680, which is way cooler.

Gulf Air BBJ FO

Appreciate the link but no vacancies showing for BBJ.

As GulfAir have just the one 737 I was hoping to send my CV to Flt Ops or similar.

Anyone with an email address, truly appreciated.

Safe Flights.

It's a PrivatAir deal so I am almost certain than you would need to contact them. As far as I know it's an ACMI wet-lease deal between the two parties.

BBJ FO

Dear John,

Just applied to Privatair so appreciate the heads up. Upon checking the fleet the BBJ is not listed. On the off chance the BBJ Operation is something different could I possibly bother you for an GulfAir Flt Ops / Director of Ops email address please (I'll send one mail and no more).

Appreciate the lifeline.

Cheers.

Safe flights.

It's a wet lease from PrivateAir so they would be the ones to talk to.

BBJ FO

Appreciate the feedback.

Privatair Website is not listing a BBJ.

I've applied anyway but could it be another Corporate lease?

Thanks again Guys.

Alltheway, you appear dead keen to coax the email or direct link to a GF DFO, HOFO, CP or whatever title they go by these days. No-one seems forthcoming. Probably because GF management are here today & gone tomorrow. Che gave you the best advice. Go through HR via the careers/jobs site. You also appear keen to join GF rather than anything else. Type rated for GF Fleet is a preferred route but they are so desperate for jockeys you might get a look in anyway. The Privatair deal is also just that. It will not get you into GF. A wet lease means just that. It is Privatair air operating THEIR aircraft in GF colours on some sort of lease agreement. If you got into Privatair, you may not ever get on the GF TEMPORARY WET LEASE. So, that is NOT the route into GF.Sorry to note your current employment loss. Apply to everyone. Good luck.

@ rid3r,

The bottleneck is "Mr Bonus" or also known as the guy who wanted to "teach GF pilots a lesson".

BBJ FO

Dear Slowjet,

Thanks for the advice. GF Careers section don't have openings for the BBJ.

I'm applying to ALL MENA carriers to hopefully put my GCAA ATPL to good use.

One month and waiting hence the request for any email for recruitment.

Application also made to Privatair but they don't list the BBJ on their fleet.

To name a few apps: Qatar, Ethiad, FD.

Ah Mr. Bonus...
The irony of course is that it's the pilots doing the teaching here, as they simply stroll across to the neighbors leaving behind massive replacemant costs, both in monetary terms and otherwise. Could be an expensive lesson there Mr. Bonus, anyone can run a computer program, but not everyone can fly.

What happened to all that service......

remember about 15 years ago Gf used to be like this

and the flight engineer on 1011 had rusty nails on final approach

third edit now and can reminisce with wet floor but those were the days and only those who survived the battles of zanzibar etc (Gf) are privileged to remember

So what happened to all the guys that said they are leaving? Haven't heard of any resignations for sometime. I guess it's just more hot air, as usual.
