Gulf Air Employment
Hi Guys,
This question goes out to people currently working in Gulf Air. I am a 25yr old Bahraini with a bachelors degree and I am now planning on persueing a modular JAA fATPL in Greece. Here are my questions....
As a local do I stand a decent chance of getting a job in Gulf Air?
The course does not include JOC is this a must?
As a GCC citizen do we get preference for employment in most Arab airlines?
Really appreciate the feedback as I'm kinda worried that after all the money and effort I might end up jobless.
P.S. Can any1 PM me a contact in Gulf Air HR so I can get details on exactly what they require?

What? Leaves being cancelled again. How much longer will this mismanagement go on? So I guess I will have a fun Nov/Dec rosters flying with disgruntled F/Os. Pefect for CRM.

Don't be surprised if some flying club members had their leaves untouched...
Sorry for those who are already flying an average of 90h/m with donkeys...
I' on my edge!

ironbutt57, I am sure the are aware of the shortage but not "painfully" cos that's our job-to soak up the pain from all the poor managment decisions & lack of planning & that is all purely down to the one man show called Majali's travelling circus.

Although a very late decision, as usual, with the typical extreme measures, it will not prevent pilots from leaving since the system remains the same.
Issues like housing allowance, which is below standard for pilots and school allowance, among other contributing factors, such as rostering, will not be corrected. Actually, the COO at the last pilots forum, when inquired about said “… the market’s actually dropped so the actual housing allowance is more than enough…”.
We will see new faces around, but many are already resigning, new Captains with their training bond finishing at the middle of 2012 are looking for and finding better places to live and work, are an example.
Giving a “priority” for a SFI position for the “hard workers” will not compensate for the stress of having our family’s vacation plans disrupted without short notice and will keep them trapped inside a room or a simulator.
Imagine someone’s situation with his leave for beginning of November receiving an e-mail in 26th of October at 23:00h advising that his leave was cancelled without a suitable alternative?
Yeah, the sound remains the same…

Albergineman, couldn't agree with you more. So if you ruin your family's life there is chance of getting into training! Wow, what a consolation for once again having to cancel a family holiday.
To make it even worse the COO, MCP & a host of other lackeys will all get a bonus for screwing us. Sounds fair, sounds exactly like GF has & will always be run.
Keep a look out for who still goes on leave.

What I find disturbing, is that absolutely no effort seems to be made, to entice people to stay. What is wrong with this picture?
How much does it cost to replace someone with a totally unknown quantity?
