polaris, let me get this right, GF actually told you that they would 'give' you a house? That is quite amazing since they haven't had any (that you can actually live in) for the last few years.
'its getting better', that should be the GF motto, I've heard it from day 1. Not a bad place though.

Actually, the total increases that I can think of being married with 3 kids is around 70% from my original package when I joined a couple of years ago. Combine that with the favourable exchange rates with Australia and voila........like getting a AUD5000/mth payrise!!
Of course each individual case will vary as we're not all from Australia or married with children. But certainly in my case, it was a winfall!!

Hey guys, in regards to HAVING to fly on day off, do you really get that day off in the future ?
Or do they just compensate you the 35bd and the day-off is never heard of or seen again ?
Or do you do like over here, don't answer the phone on your day off ?

Hi USAPAS,
If you sell your FULL day off = BD 100, and your dont see anymore, it is deduce from your bank leave. But your sell your PARTIAL day off = BD 35, they will five back our day OFF and you still with your 'DAY OFF' in your bank leave.
cheers

In both cases you will get back your DAY OFF since as per regulation we need 24 DAYS OFF in three roster periods.
The difference is for Bd35 (Partial) you just get your DAY OFF in the current or (mandatory) in the next two roster periods. For Bd100 (Full) you get your DAY OFF in the same condition described before but you loose one LEAVE DAY from your balance for each DAY OFF you sell.
Cheers!

Surer just got the terminology a bit off...there is "full sell" and "partial sell" when working a day off..however there is no "partial day off"...a day off includes two local nights..
"full sell" is around 150bd for a capt..which knocks a day off of your leave balance
"partial sell" is 50bd for a capt and does not affect your leave balance
in all cases the day off is returned to you within the next 3 roster periods, as GF only rosters the minimum 8 off in a 28 day period

question
Hi, I have a question about the situation in Gulf air. I would like to apply for FO (Jet experience), but I have B737 NG experience and Fokker 100 only, no Airbus.
Do you remember some more information about selection process. If you can help me with some info, please use my email.
Thanks.
Rado

What effect (if any) will this have on Gulf Air?
Will loyal f-class pax start looking elsewhere?
Airline alcohol ban step closer
MPS yesterday voted unanimously to ban alcohol on all Gulf Air flights, saying that the government had no excuse since it now fully owned the airline.
The proposal, submitted by a cross section of MPs, will now go to the Cabinet for study. It was backed across-the-board by MPs, who questioned the government's delay in banning in-flight alcohol, saying it should have been done voluntarily a long time ago.
The main campaigner, Al Menbar MP Shaikh Mohammed Khalid Mohammed, said the sale, distribution and drinking of alcohol was banned by Islam.
"Bahrain's Constitution states that the country's religion is Islam, yet the government isn't adhering to Islamic values and principles," he said.
"Alcohol is a reason for a lot of problems, not just in Bahrain but all around the world, since those who consume it are unaware of their actions and will do things that are immoral and against the law.
"Whether it is on flight or in any other outlet in the country, alcohol shouldn't be served.
"Banning it on flights will certainly give us a better image than the one we have."
Shaikh Mohammed said many of the airline's Bahraini and Muslim employees were complaining that Islam bans them from serving alcohol, but they were forced to do so to keep their jobs.
"A lot of people want to join the business, but they never do so because they don't want to do things contradicting their principles," he said.
"There are other GCC airlines which don't offer alcohol in flight and their business hasn't suffered, in fact it has increased and I believe that Gulf Air would benefit if it did the same."
Shaikh Mohammed asked for a comment from officials from the Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, which owns Gulf Air, who were at the session. But his request was rejected by parliament chairman Khalifa Al Dhahrani.
"So what are they doing here if you don't want us to listen to their comment? We want to know if they agree with our proposal or not," said Shaikh Mohammed.
The proposal has been now referred to the Cabinet to study.
A Mumtalakat spokesperson told the GDN after the session that the proposal would be studied first, before any decision is taken. A Gulf Air official would not comment.
