I am in the same boat as lonelyplanet

[BLSA]

Rumours about some 330s joining soon and a bonus

[Soft Altitude]

BLSA, judging by the smilies you put at the end of your post I assume you are just starting a rumor out of boredom, aren't you ?

[PanAmFalcon]

Should be interesting
Gulf Daily News » Business News » Fuel subsidy proposal may bolster Gulf Air

Fuel subsidies,BAS and GAA under one roof would do the trick

[BLSA]

SA, i just try to keep up the conversation and heard it from more than one colleague already or perhaps they just saw my previous post

[PanAmFalcon]

Is it me or does the "refurbished 330" look crappy?

Well the 320s will be flying to Moscow.Well nice to see Gulf Air isn't expanding in war zones now.

[BLSA]

Turnaround or nightstop for the crew???

[MaffiFaloos]

Ridiculous thought. Plenty of time for a Moscow turn AND a quick DMM.

[BLSA]

Will be interesting to see how you will make 45min turn in december with oat -15 and +SN

GULF AIR

Gulf air is a good company if you are bahraini as you do overtime you fly day time you have a potential to become trainer in 6 month you have a good retirement as an expat you get the opposite benefits

[SCATANA]

What A Load of Rubbish

Care to support your statement with facts ?

[DesertHawk]

scatana why u take it as a negative? it has been Gulf Air mandate for past few years to become more bahraini and why is that always viewed as a negative? many other companies do the same thing and state it up front. GF is pushing for bahrainization thats a fact so don't apologize for it its your right.

[SCATANA]

He's Not Talking About Bahrainization.

Hey DH, long time




Agree with your point though.

[DesertHawk]

yeah not bahrainization exactly but similar. i just find it amusing that the whole subject is taboo. many airlines all over the world hire expat pilot under contracts with better and in some cases worse terms then the local pilots. its up front and both sides company and employer know the deal. not something new or something people should be surprised about. i think what he was getting at was the fact for years favouritism has been obvious at GF. In my opinion this is not an expat issue but a company wide nationality wide problem that is not going to change! accept or move on

[Landflap]

I joined GF in 1993. During Ground School, fellow newbies were shown an article in that day's GDN , headlined , " Gulfair to Bahrainize within five years ". I left after six months for other reasons but here we are, two decades later and GF still pushing for Bahrainization ? Gimme a break. Relax. It'll never happen.

[PanAmFalcon]

Bahrainization is possible but if Gulf Air continues to expand,there would not be many bahrainis left to hire. As of now,they are working on minimum expat work force and I don't suppose that could shrink further.
Bahrainization in my opinion would work in the engineering or the flight deck department.Forcing Bahrainization in the head office does not appear to be a wise decision.

[Masagemarad]

any one have the latest information on the interview process and experience for Captains ?

[dum dum pacheco]

It looks there is a technical problem while I try to apply online, same with you?
