No emotion at all. Just everyday observations of those who think they know wtf they're speaking about. In regards to your lame points, ever think that he makes those decisions with the department heads who work for him that are supposed to be experts in and about the particulars of thier departments. Like Operation, Marketing, Human resources, Finance etc etc. Maybe the locals that have been mandated to keep seats warm in HQ, because that's all they're qualified to do, advised him to do the things you mention.
My point is, unless you know the particulars and are in the inside of that small circle of upper mangement types your a typical simple minded pilot who thinks he could run the circus any better.
And BTW, I wouldn't know Naf if I bumped into him. I'm actually in a different Tent City, but fly for a similar camel outfit.

Upgrades suspended until end of December 2009
I have just received a message from HR, something like this...
As an interim measure, it has been decided by the senior management that all requests for promotions, upgrades or salary adjustments for all employees, wherever located, will be suspended until the end of 2009.
So, no fleet transfer, upgrade, etc?

blusky75,
yesterday whilst perusing the webboards for pilot jobs I found a site that had a "Gulf Air" advertising for type rated Pilots. It was dated and verfied May 31st, 2009. My friends over there verfied the "massive" schedule changes for July, And, that the flying times seem to be all over the place. Guys are flying anywhere between 25 hours to 90 hours for June. Seems that they have SCREW schedulers too

Chuck, Heads ARE rolling ! One of my mates, A340 Senior Capt, aged over 60, has just been terminated with one days notice ! GF claiming that the Government Immigration Dept has declined to renew his permits. Poor guy. After 16 years Service, dealt with by the Fleet Office Boy & told to pack up his gear and go !
I think he is on the same plane as BN tonite !
He recently sold his house here in Cyprus & has bought in Santa Monica where he already has a job on an Exec Lear outa Burbank. Others may not be so fortunate. Watch your backs Guys.

Wonder if loyalty counts for much anywhere these days.
Then again these fellows are in possesion of forbiden knowledge
The Days when Gulf Air was the premier airline of the gulf, flying all over the world.
Best to remove them and fill the ranks with mindless minions who know no better and dare not talk back

You were all warned
a few years ago many of the more learned ones suggested people get out as nothing will change, while we pax and you crew were foolish enough to think things were changing..I stand corrected and accept the egg on my face for remaining loyal.
GF I have been told is in self destruction mode striving to be an all Bahraini outfit-qualified or not..(I think not is more likely). I am but a humble pax but will say get the hell out of there. The locals have no sense of loyalty - keep your dignity and leave before they push you.
What a waste of a once brilliant carrier.

ODMEA is for sure a GF pilot. It ooozes out in his posts. It's OK, you can own up to it.
BTW,
It's not any better out behind my Tent either. The camels are just a little newer
