What he/she is propably trying to say is that it means more individual sectors, thus more crews required.
Cutting most long haul routes makes perfect sense. No more feeding people into/out off the Gulf Air network through BAH.

I agree with John
More sectors more crew, Its interesting that at Bahrain Airshow some type of contract was signed with GECAS hence more regional aircrafts, apart from these airbuses coming this year and the year after.
I think we all be ok, even our CEO said so. Lets be positive!!

For what it's worth (not!) the Staff Travel (Retired/Former Employee) scheme is about to change again; looks like they will roll it back from the (new) 20yr qualification to 15yrs.

Icarus, Gordo might be the one to thank, amongst, I am sure, others. He wrote to anyone in HR he could get a name & email address for including the Head of HR. He followed through with a letter, intended for publication to the GDN . After burning his ten year service certificate, he wrote to the Deputy Prime Minister. We all fell about laughing. He might be able to start laughing again too. The interline agreements might be of great value to former employees and the retards.....ooooops, sorry Gordo, Retireds ! Good luck with the more serious situation facing all of you guys. Make sure your voice is heard in order to ram through the changes needed in order to preserve jobs and keep that golden falcon flying.

If GF survives then I suspect it will be just as a inter Gulf airline so Gordo won't see much benefit if staff travels comes his way as I doubt if he will to fly from Bahrain to Dharan

Heard today in the office that embraer fleet is likely to stay untill the end of lease in 2013. After that inshallah...
How come Gulf Air is not able to make money with these good loadfactors they are having? Someone in commercial must get at least some blame for not getting the yield right?

Restructuring option approved by parliament, that means the fleet is going to be greatly reduced as previously mentioned.
Olbie mentioned 14 aircraft to remain, please explain further as most people seem to think it's 14 aircraft to be phased out and 21 to remain.

Looks like 14 aircraft will remain...
Some 320s may go to Bahrain Air for labourers' routes...
Bus guys OK? I think not.
And yes all hiring stopped.

Guys, what I think is that the parliament can vote, decide, propose and approve, but they don't seem to have the final call. Remember they were voting also to ban alcohol in Bahrain, alcohol in GF, etc, etc...
Everything we post here is nothing, but a pure speculation and some guys are making important decisions /life and career wise/ based on the posts here.
In my opinion, what we are facing now is more political than anything else, and whether GF to exist, downsize, expand or whatever is also nothing, but a political decision made by the top governing bodies /i.e. King and/or Crown Prince/, not by MPs or the parliament.

dzmeigolem, quite right. But rumour can often be substantiated later and it is, often, all that people have to go on.I sat and watched the Air Europe ship go down because I failed to give the rumours a glance. Paid the price as I lined up on the welfare line. Millerscourt, very accurate but it is still a comfort zone. Taking away everything was a bit of a biff in the face. Might well make use of a Dahran turnround just for fun ! Olbie' offering looks like vindicating Millerscourt. Damn, just as I was planning a November BKK, or, instead, my fave MNL. If we lost those two, I could settle for a Milan..............aaaaaah, this is awful. Even getting me Cprus Buss Pass was fraught with beaurocracy. The Popsie behind the desk refused to believe I was over age 63. And Slowjet, thanks. I think I know who you are & have PM'd you. Finally, wish all you guys safety & calmer waters once this all settles down. Task for today is to learn how to cut & paste ! Cheers guys, raising a glass to you all this afternoon.

Oh dear, here goes Gulf Air's new policy as a regional carrier (partly) out the window:
Gulf Daily News » Local News » 350KM/H TRAINS TO LINK GCC
Also noticed all A340's parked together at remote stands. Sad sight.

I suggest they get rid of all acft, buy 30 ATRs and become feeder for EY,EK and QR. Make sense economically but with big ego and pride in this part of the world it's not gonna happen.
