No such thing according to my contacts. The B777 have all been returned to 9W and they will not be making a comeback.

I wonder if that is a prophetic statement about 9W also.

WOW guys.... we should give each and everyone a position in the company other than that of a pilot....

Where were you guys hidding all this time..... I think the company should review your comments and get back to you with their offer for CEO HOFO VPO commercial manager and I don't know what else is available.

You guys make it so easy maybe I should join and do the same. It sounds like fun.

That's all you have to say?

Have you noticed my friend that the ME blog is the only blog that has more than 90 viewers everytime you log into PPRUNE? (asia one coming second). Have you wondered why?

Do you guys have a problem? We have a commity that is representing us. Did you ever bother sending an e-mail to them? Did you know that our LV slots will change again without our opinion like they did in the first place? Did you know that 330-340 rqsts never granted? Maybe we should fix these things first that improve our lifes. Then you will not be spending so much time in PPRUNE.

Why don't we all demand for our GF pilots webpage to be up and running were voting could take place in things that are affecting us.

And you guys are here arguing about GF3 and GF9 and if we stop it what will be the consequense etc.

WHO CARES let them do their job because no matter what you say here will never reach their ears. Start worring on how to make our lifes better.

I am no UR or what you call this person. I am just a guy working under the same roof as you.

Cheers

Cool

But not are my requests for long time now.

As far as I can see, the new LV slots are providing an additional chance to have your leave request as close as possible to your needs, specially those who are at the end of the LV seniority list, a.k.a. C group.

What is going to be unacceptable is separate our 52 leave days in four slots as shown as the new slots. Be aware that some slot combination are not possible.

Our contract states that our 52 leave days can be divided in two of 26 in cases of shortage and or company requirements.

If the management reads this forum or not, nobody can assure, but for sure all the few good information we find here reach the management in some way, can be via e-mail or personally.

Ion-athan- I agree with your general idea but there is not reason to change if they dont have to. in general our Fleet guy is satisfied with ongoings at GF and from what he says even the rostering. nothing will change until the senior guys force it which does not seem likely.

Nope. The GF5/8 will be canceled as I have previously posted. It will be back to double daily.

Sooo. . . . any info on what is going on with Gulf Air Trade Union?

On Tuesday they said they would be on strike today (Thursday):

Gulf Daily News » Local News » Airline employees threaten to strike

Then on Wednesday they said they were actually organizing a sit-in (what exactly is a "sit in"?) during their Lunch hour break and denied that they were organizing a strike:

Gulf Daily News » Local News » Gulf Air union plans HQ sit-in

I understand that less than 1500 of GF's 5000 employees are members of GATU. I am wondering in what area of staffing the membership is significant and what effect a full-fledged strike by GATU would have on the airline?
