Got chatting with a guy from ops, says he heard that part of our aircraft maintenance will be done in amman with some maintenance outfit there, says not enough manpower in bah.
I reckons that 'new' maintenance hangar in bah should be turned into a bar, then surely we'l be able to make a profit from that..

Oh great. 
Perhaps the shop that has the derelict 727's, 737-200's and L1011's parked around it?
With a very few and rare exceptions, nothing I have seen come out of Jordan (aviation-wise) has impressed me. Expect the A- series 320's to follow the lead of ER and EP.

...You mean the pilots?

Not sure if the decrease in LHR flights this month is indicative of a slot sale. They did exactly the same last October, I guess it's just a very quiet month for pax numbers.

Cheesy dude.. The canning of 6 flights this month and the selling of the slots is a seperate issue.
This is what the heathrow ground staff said..'a few managers are in town, to tell us if we still hav r jobs. They'r lookin to sell six slots. Six flights are being cancelled this month'
Albergineman.. So i'v heard aswel.

Are we still going to Entebbe, Uganda? It's not on the new GF website and it cannot be booked but there is a flight tonight for instance. It's also not showing up in the latest timetable. What am I missing? (besides the fact that I need to get out more...
)

Ok, but are we now some sort of cover operation? I mean, if I can find that flight on Flightradar24 in 2 seconds so can the muppets...
Whats so special about Entebbe? We go to more places that ain't too friendly to some.

Gents,
According to a blog (read into that what you will) on AW&ST there's doubt as to whether the 20 x A330 ordered by GF in 2008 have been cancelled.

Does anybody here know more?

Thought it was quite clear those 330's ain't coming. Especially when reading between the lines on those pilots forum notes. They use the 330 order value to get 320 family aircraft. The 787 and 321 will replace the 330-200's. there will be 2 additional A321's coming as well bringing the total to 8.
My interpretation of those briefing notes was that Gulf Air is in no way interested in spreading it's wings other than they are doing now. They can take on QR and EY with it's current product and some small adjustments. They just need to get a kick up the backside, sort a few issues out and go for it.

Ay Johnny, the eternal optimist. Good on ya!
One more rotation a week to one the World's most unstable countries, is to be celebrated? Selling a LHR slot (rumoured), to stay afloat is frightening, to say the least......that's like selling your Crown Jewels isn't it? Better off selling the Pink Palace and it's contents, I would have thought. Soon you will be doing a double daily to Sitra and Muharraq!
Are we reading the same book here, because mine keeps flashing:
EJECT EJECT EJECT in bright neon.
Good luck friend.
