Jet Airways has initiated fresh talks with Bahrain's national carrier Gulf Air
Jet Airways has initiated fresh talks with Bahrain's national carrier Gulf Air and Oman Air to convert wet lease agreements into dry lease for the four Boeing 777s and two Airbus 330s respectively. The wet lease agreement with Gulf and Oman Air will end in October and November of the current calendar year. Wet lease refers to an agreement under which aircraft is leased with crew, insurance etc, whereas under dry lease, just the aircraft is leased out.

I believe the finger print scanners that are being installed are to make sure some of he office workers bother to come into work since,firstly the card system didn't work coz they just got their friends to swip it for them. Secondly, they decided to switch to a trust system(what a big laugh!!!!) relying on peoples' work ethic(of which sadly there is very little) to make them show up at work. I think it's a great idea even if it did come from pilots' public enemy number 1-the banana man.
I guess the parked 340s are having some maintenance done since that is why we leased the Jet planes.

I love it how they tell people "No Jumpseats" allowed whatsoever, even the non-operating crew (Pilots) are not allowed and then you go find tons of videos from the flight deck on the internet

Hiring cadets from what I have seen. If I was one of the guys released at last moment I would be putting CV's everywhere.
My sympathy for your position. Good Luck for it.

I do believe that the issue in Gulf Air is changing of managements, they just not focusing what they really want or needs from the airline, are they trying to make it a low cost for the Middle East?
GF management needs to come up with a plan that could help in keeping the airline running and not only talks without act.
Why the rent the 777 from jet airways if they cost a lot to keep, why they keep doing the same mistakes, I do believe that they needs to stop wasting time and money.

Was a simple reply to a question. GF are hiring from what I have seen. I know people have been shafted before they even got here. To those people!

I think what cam was saying that recently GF offered 4 courses worth of DEPs and then 'postponed' them at the last minute. Alot of these guys, myself included, resigned from their jobs and have been left unemployed as they have no where to go.
If GF are recruiting cadets at the expense of us then I am disgusted. But to be honest I am going to get too excited about it...its not going to change anything.

Yeah 'no vacancies' 'cos they already have those guys on hold, no point in recruiting when you have the hold pool full already - and a limited requirement. Good news for those guys though as they may now be taken on.
