GF is a pure comedy show and when you arrive you have to sit an exam. It's called the clown test.
Unfortunately there are no pills to cure cretinotitis, so the show will continue for the next 10,000 years.

Having left GF and BAH in the middle of 2011 it is very sad to read the nature of the current posts on this thread. I put in nearly eighteen years as a Captain and experienced alot of good times.
I expect all those who can leave will for a better and more challenging future flying bigger and better aircraft to more interesting routes.

"Tall dark & handsom"............thought all the Brits had left years ago ! But, DESSERT AVIATOR, here here. Cripes, after 18 years, you only JUST qualify for reduced staff travel benefits ! The nervous hilarity of recent posts serves to illustrate what a great bunch we professional pilots are. Facing doom & gloom, we still manage a laugh here and there. Humour got me through 3 spells of redundancy. Keep laughing guys & laugh out even louder when you get your seats back in better jets, better colours, better management, better routes. Move quickly if you are to protect your indeminities though. 40&80 got that right too. Guys looking at these pickings are already in the Mercedes showrooms !

Aaaaah, sweet nostalgia. Great Video. Where did they get that super 737 CPR ? Did mine in a carboard cut-out with a few dummy switches at Crawley (referring to the cockpit switches & not the instructors). A few familiar faces too. How come Mahmoud Alansari never aged ? With his Training hat on, the best in the business. With his Examiner's hat on.....I am told, to be feared. I was lucky to be assigned to his care on the A340 conversion & would not have made it but for his expertise. Echoing other sentiments; great flying with you all chaps & thanks for all the fun too .

Aaaaaah, the sweet nostalgia. Great Video bringing back some fond memories. Where did they get that fabbo 737 CPR from ? Did mine in a cardboard cut out with a few dummy switches in Crawley (referring to the CPR switches & not the instructors ) ! And, how come Mahmoud Alansari looks like he has never aged ? With his Training hat on, one of the best in the business. With his Checkers hat on..to be feared, I am told. Didn't see that side of him and he was highly instrumental in my converting from years of Boeings to the mighty A340. Thanks guys for some memorable flying days.

Three days to go before the end of the month and still no roster for March?? What a complete shambles stumbling from disaster to disaster. Could poor old GF get it more wrong. All very sad and depressing.

Let's hope that's the only thing that's late this month.
Oh and John, at least they announced that it was going to be late as they normally don't bother, they just always publish late. Maybe because it's extra late this time.
Can't remember the day we actually had the schedule on time.

One thing for sure is that Nasser, Hasan & the rest of the chump change that call themselves "managers" know what their rosters are next month but you & I, well, That's a different story. We're just not important.
