whats wrong with the bombardiers? they look great to... nice picture.. so will this livery be up for the 330s?
the livery looks great on small aircraft. but im not really sure on how would it look like on the wide body jets..
plus the bombardier aircraft looks great..

Aviation Design - Modified Airliner Photos

It is good for some wishful thinking, especially if you like to see what a Boeing 747, 777, 737, A380 or even the Concorde might look like in GF attire.

Bombardiers aka "ski-doo jets" don't look good in the performance/payload dept, as well as cabin comfort..E-jet much better choice..

excepting the "C series"..

wow no body knows what talk about anymore.
but i dont get why the airline wants to change their golden livery.... i understand that they have to change their cabin.. but the livery should wait until the airline starts making some money. By the way the way , tristar looks great with the golden livery ...

why doesn't gf just move the pilots to the embraer starting with the most junior captains and junior first officers? it would be fair not to make them sign new bonds since that type rating would be next to useless outside sao paulo. it would serve to weed out guys who are unhappy and decide to resign which gf will need to know for crew planning purposes. the void left by them, most lost likely from the 320 fleet, will be filled by those up the seniority list.

'Twas the night before Christmas . . . and no 2010 Vacation Awards out yet.

Nonetheless, Merry Christmas to all the Gulf Air boys & girls.

just curious ISA +35 doesnt sounds that bad really as we fly in to long runways and very rarely is it ever over 50 degrees. anyways wont happenas CRJ are not as good performace numbers as the embraers and even the office is now saying "embraer"!!!
