The turnaround program wont do any good. Bahrain has to pump money into this airline like it has never before. I heard that cabin crew and pilots have nothing to worry about as man power in that specific area is considerably low . What an exciting news before the airshow

Who is going to stay and work in the cabin? The lazy bahraini boys or the spoiled bahrain girls?

every one makes mistakes and learn from them, but to do the same mistake twice in 2 years!!!!!!!! thats just stupid.
we all remember when Mr. DOSE made the announcement of cutting jobs.... the company ended up with a mad number of resignations from highly qualified and badly needed people, which almost brought the whole operation to a stand still and GFA took further more losses.
lets face it if you say I'm cutting jobs, the first to leave you are the ones you need, simply cuz they are well capable and needed els where and need job security.
simply ending up with the people your trying to get rid of. the way the company or PM's (who ever leaked this so called plan) didn't really think it through. there are much better ways of passing information than just say getting rid of expats, they need to be more professional and specify which caliber of people they plan on letting go, other wise i can see another exodus happening very soon putting GFA in deeper trouble.

Well put hunter320. This seems to be the case with human resources in most industries during downturns-- namely, the first to walk are the ones you don't want to have leave (the most capable who know they can find new challenges elsewhere). The ones who hold on like coral to a rock are the ones who know they would be dead meat out on the job market.
In any case, I wonder whether announcing that they are getting rid of the expats is low-hanging political fruit? In any case, I feel it is appropriate for any employee to remember that no matter what they do, some day this job will end. The questions remaining is how soon that will come and how they spend their time during that period.

Not to get off target but what happened with the AA/GF codeshare??? Is AA dropping GF? The AA website states:
Due to a regulatory change by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, American Airlines has suspended its codeshare on flights operated by Gulf Air until further notice.
This regulatory change does not affect Gulf Air's codeshare on flights operated by American Airlines, which continues uninterrupted.
Funny thing is AA just announced:
American codeshares on Etihad Airways non-stop flights between the United States and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and, select services between Europe and Abu Dhabi, UAE.

For once, nothing to do with GF as I understand it. This is an FAA issue if I am not mistaken. They have to audit the BCAA. Until that happens, the codeshare is suspended.
