Mickey and welco are hitting the nail on the head. Sad but at this point anyone with the experience to move to EK will probably move if they are not close to their retirement. Even if we pull our socks up and stabilize it is only a matter of time before most EXpats move on the a stable airline/country/roster. We all sound like broken records, as a very experienced capt pnce told me. GF is simple.....it continues to do the same thing for past 25 years and wonders why nothing changes!

theodoremd83, this is the Gulf Air's way of management, must issues are dealt via e-mail at the very last minute.
As said, in different words, in the last management's e-mail: ... we don't know what is going on and we also don't know what is going to happen with Gulf Air... so, please keep believing on us..."
Hope you get your job back or in a different airline in the ME...
Sad, but true.

SO. True. Makes me giggle how they always wing about how pilots leave and so on.....WAKE up look in the mirror boys. Md83 is a person with bills a mortgage a family kids etc. For some reason GF has always been able to put there head in the sand when it comes to issues they screw u on.
NAS is a great guy but reading that email i started giggling. Why say anything at all? I mean if u don't want us to listen to rumours then don't produce an official letter that is ambiguous and tell us later u may be fXXOOed

Salami's email was nothing short of a confirmation that things are worse than bad at GF. I can bet you he already has he next job in Oman Air lined up. GF mis-management has now surpassed the level of "legendary" & they think a few words begging for "patience" will stem the brain drain? Get ready for the rush for the exits, but please give priority for managment to leave first. What really impresses me is the level of arrogance/ignorance shown by the COO that he thinks his sparce kind words will stop people leaving.

Thank you guys for the feed back, just one question since i already have a signed contract with GF on my hands together with the working visa they ve send me would it be possible to go against them in the courts of law and win this one or it would be a tottaly waste of time and money?
Do you know of similar cases and what was the outcome?
Thank you very much for helping me to short this one out.

Seen the ads on the way to work.. 11 flights a week to fra, 10 to cdg, 56 to dxb. The ground staff at cdg says fra and cdg will be served by the new sleeper 321.
Heard kul might remain with schedule increase.

Indeed. But will they actually be on 321 or on new 320's. Looking at the destination list for the 321's both FRA and CDG are not on there. This was previously published...
On a side note, by Jun/Jul FRA and CDG routes will be increased from 7xw to 11xw and 10xw......on board A320 iso A332.
In this way only LHR gets GF's widebody in Europe since CDG (A320), FCO (A320), FRA (A320), LCA (A319/E90), CPH (B737), IST (A319) will be served with narrow.
When is the first 321 to arrive? Noticed some pix from XFW dating mid FEB.
So will they be getting some 320's with sleeper config soon, or how are they gonna do it?
P.S. How many DXB flight are there currently to DXB per week? Are they increasing again?
