Gulf Air Developments

[buba]

Heard therz a board/management meeting supposedly tomorow.

[OneMonth]

Believe the board management meeting will be on 06 Jan, after that GF staff should know the exact fleet that will be maintained...heard min will be 24 and max will be 28.

The youngest A330 is already on ground, 2 more will follows at end of this month latest. EMB and A319 will be grounded by 21 Jan as heard.. and we know that GF is not keeping A340.

Hope management can come out with their decision ASAP so GF staff can make their plan as required.

[LNAV VNAV -]

Well, won't the Saudi thing affect this decision?? These numbers were heard before the announcement by GACA!

[Botata]

Minimum of 24 aircrafts - according to Majali and our COO during the last pilot meeting they assured us that no pilots will be made redundant if that is to happen - actually they were hiring pilots....

If so how many pilots will be made redundant with a minimum of 24 aircrafts?

[millerscourt]

GF not keeping the A340 so no chance Gordo returning then

[ironbutt57]

Hahaha...Gordo was 'Bus by default, he's really a 767 dude at heart

[buba]

Yeah that airbus lingo is a tongue twister.. Lost in translation. Gordo is better off hav his jack'n coke in the med in them cheetah prints of his.lol

[ironbutt57]

[buba]

I will stay on thread to show all readers just why GF must not be allowed to sink. People are the heart of this great company.Best bunch of professionals I ever worked with and the sort of humour just displayed made working life a pleasure. Thanks IB, I have Mr Boeing underpants & miss the 767 dreadfully. Bus you can keep.Habib screaming at me "insert, insert ! Press it, press it !" First time I ever saw even him laugh was when I retorted"Gees, Habib, you sound like a porno movie". Only group of talented guys I know of who took a 30 year old Boeing Dude & got him to understand the diff between FMC & FMCG. Or was it DMC, FDC,FMGC, GCE...................ah, off for a KFC ! Cheetah prints or pants ? Pants with prints maybe. If seen outside my door in Abu it meant I was inside ! Bit like the Union jack over Buck Pal ! Oh, talkin about Jack.................! Thanks guys, made this old crow start today with a smile.

[ironbutt57]

Have a good one Gordo.....

[millerscourt]

Rumour has it that Gordo has gone off the JD and Coke and if so clearly not the man he once was

[LNAV VNAV -]

So, anyone knows if the meeting took place??

[mauro delpiero]

Been hearing double daily BKK, MNL and dual rated pilots to now do a lot more night stops on the 330 because of the increased 330 night stops and less night stops on the 320. At least that's what I've been hearing.

[LNAV VNAV -]

You must be talking about a different meeting. I was refering to the Board meeting that was supposed to be held yesterday to decide our bleak fate!

[Atebis]

There goes CMB, KTM, and DAC. So,... In a period of only 18 days or so, they have announced a closure of 8 stations...wow.

[BLSA]

"Meanwhile, let us continue operating to the highest standards and ensure we remain the region’s most family and business friendly airline."

[ironbutt57]

so all of the Bengali, Nepalese, and Sri Lankan folks that board at other GF cities to continue to their homeland, will now leave us as well.....so more reduced loads on other sectors as well....any airline is a house of cards, pull the bottom ones and the whole thing collapses

[buba]

And nothing solid regarding manpower
