Look on the bright side... GF jobs are secure as GF is too profitable (for some people)... to be allowed to fail.
If you only knew how profitable an airline can be (for some people)...every state would want one or maybe two!

COO's Letter

Letter from Nasser trying to steady the ship, 8 Pilot resignations this week, which is anticipated to acelerate as the mushroom factory barrels along.
Majali seems more obsessed with cutting the revenue stream rather than tackling the high level theft and corruption in the Pink Palace.
The decision to axe 1600 employees has to be made public soon and when that happens hold on !!
Rumour has it that Qatar turned away 10 GF Pilot management applicants; they don't want to catch anything nasty from these shores.
Does'nt look like the over 60's will be offered any extentions, but that is apt to change on March 30th

Nasty rumor going around that Mr Majali wants to have lower salaries for the embraer flight crews. Don't know how he thinks he will do it but I guess he is trying to save every fils he can without disturbing Jawad & his forty thieves. Still no real reasons made by the management to waste 1 iota of precious time around here.

well lets hope this plan will actually be good for GF .... finger crossed...but i really doubt that..
the way they could save money is by leaving the golden livery but change the cabins and stuff... the airline could make alot of money by getting rid of the old 320s and let the new ones take over.. as 95% of the delays are caused by the old 320s....
as i said there will be no difference left between Bahrain air and GF right after the airline removes the F class cabins from its fleet

i agree some hard decision for a lot of guys but lets not get ahead of ourselves. The only guy i heard talking about salary decrease for EMB are pilots making assumptions. Now that being said if that is the case GF can kiss their pilots goodbye. They are already losing many and will be even shorter in the near future an announcement like that would decimate the moral and all who are on the fence would be gone. ummmm kinda like when they announced the "lifestyle" package under BN lol!!!

Devil EMB Salary

A second tier salary was mooted but rejected outright by operations... no longer up for discussion.

Our recruitment people told me we where going to be getting some GF pilots. None will be DEC, but will go directly RHS for 330 and 320. You'll like it over here much better once you get past the couple of constant complainers.

Should I stay or should I go now. If you gotta ask, your to late. He who waits to decide is last in line

Are you kidding? For an F/O at GF with everyone leaving, the promotion prospects just keep getting better and better. Ok you may end up on the Jungle Jet but as far as upgrade goes, is there any place better to be right now? Incoming......Decs, lets hope not.

I doubt that they will get DECs cause of the upgrades they are doing on to the left seat, but there again thats GF. Never believe a thing until we actually see it
