You will be hearing from him today in the new A320 ceremony

[tristarfivestar]

ceremony for the 320? is it a new thing that GF does because there wasnt a ceremony when the old 320s joined the fleet

[Mephistopheles]

So Radar where is your promised word from above?! As always your info is sadly lacking.

[Radar Contact]

The ceremony has been postponed to today, it's actually going on right NOW!

[EK2EYengineer]

Just came back from the ceromony all the big boys were present and the machine looks nice

Hello My friend....Do you mind telling me please if they are accepting new FO applications for non-type rated on A320....? Please I have checked the web but I cant get a answer form there.....!

Please fellow pilots ANY help on the hiring issue of the NON-type rated pilots with Gulf Air....please advise.

[Duh]

My friend at Gulf Air says they are hiring cadets only. But having difficulties because many can't even add or subtract. No expats or any other foreigners for awhile now.

[Not Gulfair CEO]

Dah! I am sure most of them can give you a math lesson and to your expat friends too.

RE: the cadets being trained, don't know were you get your info mr "Duh", but it is incorrect...or at least that I have encountered anyway..

RE: the expats, yes it is correct, no direct entry rated, or otherwise have crossed my path anyway..

Thickos

Not much good at maths or grammar in that neck of the woods, allegedly. Education standards even worse than UK!

[ShirleyNot]

i doubt it.

[DesertHawk]

DUH and IB and everyone else making petty arguments about cadets. to me it is simple. how can u expect a 200hr cadet with average at best initial training to be comparable to a 3000-5000 expat direct entry? it is not a criticism just a fact. when i was 19 and had 200 hours i would struggle doing a 320 course also. so yeah they do struggle the key is are they trainable and for the most part from what i have seen they ARE. so anyways just thought i would point out the obvious as these simple facts seem to be overlooked and the blame game takes over way to often here. and also it is hard to simple math when the aircraft is doing 250kts and u are used to 100

Does anybody have a picture of the new A320 A9C-AB?
According to a discussion on airliners net, the livery has been slightly modified for this plane.

Thanks Stefan

That's one FUGLY paint

[ShirleyNot]

Please tell me thats not real - looks like its been dipped in !!!!!.

[T O G A Boy]

Thats not the right colour. The picture is way too saturated. Look at the grass and judge for yourselves

[Panama Jack]

An interesting new font chosen for the brand name "Gulf Air" on the aircraft.

[boiler]

U-G-L-Y font, very ugly. I suppose JPA had to somehow justify the millions it was getting to do a GF makeover and this is the best they came up with.

Dear All,

This is to inform you that Gulf Air will be reducing their BAH-LHR flights from triple daily to double daily effective March 28th 2010 i.e. from the on set of the IATA Summer 2010 time table.

Basically, GF 3 Dep BAH 1005 Arr LHR 1520 and GF 6 Dep LHR 2025 Arr BAH 0610+1 have been terminated.

All of this is now reflecting in all major GDS systems.
