"British Airways, which has 520 aircraft, only has eight vice-presidents. But Gulf Air - which has a fleet just five per cent of that size - has 24 vice-presidents, each earning BD14,000 monthly.
Love it

"Gulf Air has suffered enough from boards lacking knowledge in the past and because of that, firms that are not specialised have been brought in to provide help - but instead of doing so, they have drained the company further," he said as parliament met yesterday.
"Can we trust the two firms that have suggested reducing destinations and then caused Gulf Air further losses by having around 1,800 employees sacked under downsizing plans?" he asked.
"Gulf Air has no strategy and the change of chief executives over the past five years shows that no-one knows who is running Gulf Air," he said.

I'm starting to get relieved after having read this article, Finally the MPs started living in reality rather than believing in some failed consulting firm that never achieved anything in the aviation industry.
Lets hope no downsizing takes place and only the real issues get addressed for the betterment of the company.

Pakistan opens another airport to International traffic:
5 airlines to operate from Sialkot | ePaper | DAWN.COM
Did Gulf Air even apply or have they simply not been chosen?
I would have thought that the Pakistani market is quite important to Gulf Air.
Every other important (regional) airline seems to want to go there, just no mention of Gulf Air.

You'll be eaten alive by all of us carriers in the Gulf.
And you guys were the FIRST !...How did your government let everybody pass you by !
Tri star days ? Forget it

John 21. I think you are missing the point here. GF is a Company haemorrageing money on a daily basis. It is a failing company by any test device, not just economic. This will not be the time to think of a new route to Pakistan! Many posters have offered solutions. We all know the solutions and so will the new Board. Lets hope they now act quickly. Time is running out. Get lean, get mean & recruit Managers from the top down who will not have their hands tied. But John, I do admire your loyalty. You might soon learn that it has no place in todays dog eat dog world. Oh & by the way, what happened to all those guys on MSC courses ? They will have lots of answers to GF's woes. Once again, wasted talent. Gf part sponsored these people in the hope that the recipients would have a management input. Why are they not listening now ?

Nothing too major if these are supposed to be the first round of cutbacks:
Gulf Air Service Reductions Jan – Mar 2013 | Airline Route – Worldwide Airline Route Updates

Let's hope so, but if you look at the other Gulf Air thread on here it's mentioning a reduction of 17 destinations and the two new A321's that are ready and waiting in Toulouse won't be taken up. (all rumors without any evidence yet)
Let's keep our fingers crossed and start praying for a happy 2013!!!
