How many Ejets are they planning to take? Will they be crewed by GF pilots or contractors? The E195 would be decent prospect for the network.

E190 can't replace A320. The A320's you are talking about will be replaced in December by NEW A320's (AJ/AK)

TOGA I think everything at GF is proverbial until it actually happens.


I too heard that the two 190's are going to be picked up very soon.

From what I heard, the 2 E90s are coming around Sep 20th or so and be operational by the end of the month or at the beginning of October.

Sad story of what people are capable of. There are more humane ways for parents to get rid of unwanted children. Nice to hear that our crew pitched in to buy the youngster some basic necessities. Hope they will find a loving home for him.

Evil, U maybe right about ur comment but lets not over exaggerate the situation. We all know there are 2 more Embs coming, but only as an addition to the embraer fleet and not as a replacement to the A320s as stated by Behramjee.
And regarding the newborn dumped in the bin, I dare ask a simple question. Didnt the airport staff at Saudi or Bahrain notice a pregnant woman board. Should'nt they ask for her medical papers as per the regulations. For the child to be born at 6lbs, she must have been at that stage that airport staff should have insisted on her medical clearance whilst boarding

These will be some of the highest paid Embraer-Jobs ever.
Thank you Gulf Air , your Payscale really makes sense to us!

TOGA Boy, in a perfect world, yes. However, this is not a perfect world and all sorts of medical cases slip through due to lack of passenger knowledge/ willingness to cooperate and/or failure of the ground staff to either notice or act accordingly. I suspect that in the future this will become more common due to on-line check-in and increasing ease of getting from the curbside to the airplane without the usual procedure of standing in line for a long time.

There have also been numerous cases where it has been hard to notice that a woman, due to her body shape, was pregnant.

Could you give us a hint of how will these figures look like?
How many $$$/year are we talking about?

@zedoscarro
Expect something like 110k USD/a.
This is based on 3500 BD monthly
Salary for First Officers (including
allowances,depending)
TAXFREE in this part of the World.
Not that bad for an RJ.
On the other hand it is pretty cost
Intensive for Gulf Air.
It was always GFs Philosophy:
The more Money we burn, The better!
Cheers

Hi Granny

$US110K p/a for a co-pilot...

big difference from a capts pay check of $US7500 p/month!! That was the basic monthly salary offered from the agency!

Seems someone is dipping their hand into the cookie jar.
