Winter Scheldule(with increased flights) + Reopening of Iran & Iraq + 3 months notice period approaching for those who have resigned + even more resignations = A very interesting next few months for our elite management to deal with.
No doubt those of you that think you have leave coming up will get a shock when you get the September roster,late of course, & see that your leave has been donated to our management to cater for their lack of planning & shortsightedness. Which in turn will lead to more resignations & the cycle is complete!
Way to go GF.

Well...it could be late rosters, or many subsequent changes, or a combination, Yah it sucks for us, but it also sucks for them as well..sure they don't enjoy having to change the rosters all the time, as much as we don't like receiving them...hope the markets redevelop their former strength.....

I saw a GF 340 in Dubai parked on the Charlie apron a few nights ago. I was quite surprised as I thought all the GF 340's were painted white months ago to be sent off elsewhere. This one looked like it came straight out of the glory days.

One A340 used by Gulf Air for high density/high cargo routes and the two remaining A340's are prepped for the lease. They are using them now to get trainers and pilots current again for the upcoming lease. They need to use the training capacity, that is already limited, before things get busy a bit later on. (for reasons I can't reveal here as it's not final)
But this is just my guess offcourse...
What's the diff in seating and cargo carrying capacity between a 330 (the 215 seats layout) and the 340's?

What's up with DXB these days. I see up to 11 flights a day mostly A321 and bigger, even now A340's. Also strange flightnumbers and the new 2pm flight is not even amongst these yet.
Between 4 and 5pm alone it's 694 seats!

Well done by the Gulf Air cabin crew: Boy who likes planes bypasses airport security, boards aircraft, with no ticket | Egypt Independent
Poor show from everyone else involved!

Where on the website does it say anything about pilots? All I can see under vacancies is Performance & Methodology Specialist

Gulf Air records positive business performance in the first half of 2012
Can someone tell SM that increase this year compare last year was due to riots & tension in Bahrain first half of 2011 which affected biz. It's no brainer that this year "should" show positive performance
