efoh Cameleers

It seems the following quote from 'The Caravan ME Forum Classic 1st Scroll' has come to pass:

'"Still choking in the dust at the autocamels' feet, the effohs in the Cherif's caravan mumbled and cursed their traitorous Master Cameleer, but he scorned their complaints. The situation, he told any who dared speak out, had changed. Those who continued to grumble were sent upon their way with these words: "If thou likest it not here, thou mayest returneth to the empty roads of thy homeland."
Few could do so at that time, as the cunning Yasser Wateverusay knew full well.
Time passed, and the ever suffering effohs wearied of the promises of the Master Cameleer. Some lost hope and many found other roads to tread as new caravans started up in their own Lands. As they took their leave, they cried aloud as one: "We seekest roads on which the Golepostes art not fixed upon the backs of swift moving camels!"

Good luck lads!

Gulf Daily News » Business News » Ratings boost for Gulf Air

ratings boost for gulf air..

you pay to advertise on the gdn and all of a sudden you get nothing but positive reporting. who ever said that dollar diplomacy isn't alive and well in bahrain? business friendly alright.

i know it was an iata review! the fact that positive reporting by gdn of gf coincided with gf advertising on gdn is timely.

Just for the records, i grade GF crew as one of the best in the industry. Without any " Unions " to back them and low morale and low pay scale, they still deliver the best they can. Albeit not all but the majority as per my experience, do.

Yeah apparently thats true. What i also heard is that GF and Jet airways have done a codeshare deal and that GF will only fly to Mumbai and Delhi. All others would be done by Jet. How true is that. Can anyone confirm pls.

Can't confirm the rumours but I wouldn't be surprised. GF and Naresh Goyal have a very close relation ..... goes back many many years when GF put some money into 9W ... and as recently as GF leasing some 777 whilst 9W was having cash flow problems.
With both airlines losing money, don't be surprised.

code share was in the gdn,destinations for gf will be maa and bom,tunraround for pilots until the codeshare deal swings into full effect.. i dont understand why they are cost cutting so aggressively when everyone in the office gets a bonus! antoinne is going to recieve a check for 20000dinars already for this proposal and cabin crew reduction on all fleets...hr manager recieved a fat check for resigning,karimi even a fatter check for being removed from his position..insurance manager,fat check for cutting down alot in our medical insurance plan which is a joke...why why why????...

Interesting strategy considering the subcontinent routes are the bread and butter of all Gulf Airlines and perhaps a certain airline's only profitable routes...

Way to go guys

It is obvious the cost cut strategy is more of a cost gouge at all cost and think about it later. As far as the baffoons getting bonuses i would of thought AA would be on chopping block considering his insistence of us being overcrewed and now the diabolicle situation with the upgrades. It is obvious change is coming.....just like before Anyways as a pilot here all this is seconday to good support from our ops managment....which well in a word is useless unfortunately I have come to the realization not to expect any support.

the ones forced intially were of the highest seniority,but they have realized there mistake as some of the guys on the e170 are coming up for there command which is to be done ONLY on the a320 since there is no training program for the e170 and its a new type..so now they will skip the first 15 to 20 fos on top of the senoirity list and send the ones below them to the jungle jet...safe flying

I know that was there idea to move the transfer down so they would not have problems. As I was in the office I took a quick look at the list and it is obvious that the first guys on the EMB will be up for Command in the next few months, leaving a small problem. Anyways like usual there is no official plan from the office probably cause there are so many changes they are just trying to stay afloat! Just be glad if u are not caught up in this for first time I am thrilled to be more JUNIOR

Its true that sami ruined all what we had left, but of course with the help of the blind following of the management under him..
