Retro fitting does it take 2 months? I doubt ... I asked GF if they will apply a new F1 livery and they said no. However, there was a plan for an F1 livery and the blue prints show KH as the one receiving it

Just heard that the gentlemen upstairs have desparately been trying to find a way out of the Jet 777 contract but to no avail since,understandably, Jet management have zero interest in taking back their unwanted 777s. So who is responsible for signing these crippling contracts & will they be axed? Of course not since the ink for the contracts was supplied by the board!!! So next step is to start firing cabin crew,again.
And the cycle continues. One day, most probably after most of us are long retired & travelling in GF hat racks(Thanks to our CPO), it will come to light just how much was stolen by the blood sucking board members & senior managers.
God bless Gulf Air, she really does deserve better than this.

Radar Contact, I believe THY will only be leasing the Jet 777s for 6 months dry then 25 months wet. That's until they start taking delivery of their own 777s starting in October 2010. On the other hand we have leased them for 6 months dry then 36 months dry. Our original Airbus deal had taking delivery on A330-300s starting May 2010-that since has been revised to even earlier. So I am sure you can see that it seems a bit unreasonable for us to be leasing them especially since it is a totally new type for us & we will not be getting any of our own in the future.
Also THY got a far better deal than us!!!

Mephistopheles, I think you got it wrong - 6 months dry and then 36 months WET - CC are being trained on B77W and I heard that pilots are due to start T/R'ing for it. A good friend of mine on the A320 F/O has received an offer to transfer to the 777

Ouch, that was fast. ironbutt, you sure? I saw it 3 days ago as GFA071/070 (JWD) .. WY need these badly .... Is it me or is GF keeps changing their talk every 2 minutes? 1st, they were happy with the 77W. Now, they don't want them - MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND!

I'd appreciate knowing which brand duct tape the new seats will be in. I got quite used to the think black electrical wire brand..although some of my colleagues preferred the more narrow navy blue-a tad more regal for F class they thought.
