Maybe there are no flights for us to operate & hence no rosters cos Mumtalakat have finally thrown in the towel.

Oh boy I just cannot resist this, you're just begging to be sh@t on
So who exactly do you think you are? Charles Lindberg or Chuck efing Yeager my boy? Do we have to address you as some aviation excellence, let me guess you just finished your cadetship and you got your second bar and suddenly aviation sunshine is comming out your rear end.
I would suggest you take a step back and chill my boy before you heart yourself with that ego of yours. Besides some of the lads here may just have you for lunch and ask for seconds
when people tell me about the lack of knowledge I have about airplanes and airlines it just makes me mad..

New GF CEO
Gulf Air, Bahrain’s national carrier, announced today the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the airline as it enters the next phase of its realignment strategy.
Samer Majali, former CEO of one of the Middle East’s most commercially successful carriers, Royal Jordanian, will take over at Gulf Air within the next few months from current CEO Björn Näf. Until then, Talal Al Zain, Gulf Air’s Chairman, will manage the business in the temporary position of Executive Chairman.
Talal Al Zain said, “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Björn Näf for his leadership over the last two years and we wish him well in his future endeavors. Moving forward, we have important plans for the future of Gulf Air and we believe Samer is the right leader to take the airline forward as we move into the next phase of our strategy to rebuild the business.”
“I’m delighted to welcome Samer to the team as he brings an exceptional track record of successfully managing a leading Middle Eastern carrier. His skills will help us to build towards a strong future for Gulf Air,” he concluded.
Under Samer’s leadership, Royal Jordanian has been transformed into a highly successful and profitable business. The carrier’s transformation has been driven by a comprehensive strategy to modernize the airline’s fleet and the reshaping of its network. His achievements include bringing Royal Jordanian into “Oneworld” in 2007, making it the first Middle Eastern airline to join a major global alliance. In addition, he managed the successful privatization of Royal Jordanian, a first in the region. He has also served as President of the Arab Air Carriers Organisation (AACO) and served as Chairman of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) board of governors until June 2009. Samer holds a degree in Air Transport Management from Cranfield University in the UK.

Ordeal for passengers
MANAMA: About 30 Mumbai-bound passengers were last night bumped
off a Gulf Air flight despite having confirmed bookings, reports MANDEEP
SINGH.
The GF 0056 passengers, including women and children, were told the flight
was overbooked.
Jerry Varghese, 29, who works in Bahrain and has recently had surgery
at the BDF Hospital, said he had to reach Cochin in Kerala by today for a medical appointment. “I have a tube sticking out of my stomach,” he
said.
Another passenger, who would not be named, said she had to be in
Mumbai by today for an examination.
Gulf Air officials could not be reached for comment. (as usual)
I wonder if they were put up in hotels or given cash-in-hand compensation?

Let me think of few those few moments when his hands were not tied and the damage he inflicted on this airline:
1. He decides to replace 767 with 321 only later to find out that airplane is unable to fly a 3hrs30min sector with pax and the baggage.duh

From what I understand, the GF A321s (formally RJ) do not have a center fuel tank. Hence it is limited in range (or so I have been told). Any GF guys to confirm?
