Interesting. Wait and see what happens: Saudis Shortlist Gulf Air, Qatar Air for License, Eqtisadia Says - Bloomberg
Furthermore, didn't see this mentioned IIRC. Some minor changes to the Winter 2012 program. Gulf Air W12 Operation Changes as of 17JUL12 | Airline Route

I did a KRT a few days ago and we tankered TO KRT instead of FROM KRT. To me this means that there must have been a drastic decrease of fuel cost at BAH relative to KRT. Anyone knows anything about this?

Could be the old "fuel allotment" is KRT is dwindling, previously we always tankered TO KRT due to fuel rationing to foreign airlines...could be the case again...

Hey,
In regards to employoment to Bahraini first officers, how is that going on? I heard indeed a lot of stuff, mainly a lot of unemployed Bahraini FO's. (over 100) most of them are from the GAA program.
Well I plan to do my training alone, I don't expect to get a job when I graduate so I'm thinking of getting a job as a Bush pilot anywhere in the world. where I get paid and build hours.
Does this sound like a good plan? are Gulf air going to improve in say the next 3/4 years? I heard a lot of captains are leaving to other airlines, mostly the expats.
And as for first officers, don't they have a policy where they hire Bahraini's only?

right now things are really tough with all those unemployed pilots but if you keep your hopes on getting a job with GF or QR only then I think you should reconsider doing your training unless you have no problem of taking up opportunities elsewhere around the world.
Or you could do SO with CX that's an easy way to become a jet pilot

Not quite the case.....

All second officers are from Bahrain, and the GAA program...hired on an as needed basis, and when training resources permit...

Lnav/Vnav lost the thread already ! Read the foregoing. Mr R was responding (says he is in Bahrain) offers some advice & points away from GF (hence GF developments, or lack) & makes a helpful suggestion to look at CX. 40&80 after a good night's takings & plenty to celebrate, makes a very useful offering, pointing away from CX. Then, look out, look out, gypsy is about with his snipers gear on, Pprune Police outfit on, but, I have to say, pretty damn amusing in his way. OK, order in the house. Members will have their say ! I have appointed myself to the roll of Mr Speaker. While there are NO developments in Gf , ease up & have a laff !

A thought for you all, there is no way any airline could go thru the mess, mismanagement & theft that Gulf Air has been subjected to without the crews constantly playing more than their part. I trult believe that no other airline would still be standing with the monumental f*** ups & stealing that has gone on. She's a tough old bird that will not be brought down.

Yes, but it has always been like that, in any airline. Professional Airline Pilots are a hardy bunch, dedicated to doing the right thing, the best thing, in fact, ANY thing to demonstrate company loyalty but more often than not, simply to protect employment. I have said, and others have intimated as much, stop being loyal to what is painted on the side of an aeroplane & be loyal, instead, to your regulatory authority. Few choices for GCC nationals so you become the whipping boy for the kind of inept management for which GF is famous. The sadness is that there will be no cure for the ailing "bird". The corruption is endemic & the ineptness a fact of life.

i remember in the late 90's when a certain person hired a bunch of gals (40 0r 50) to serve as cabin crew and gave them toyota cars. needless to say they never saw the inside of an aircraft.
so stop bitching. you all knew what you signed up for, as did i.

Jack; blimey ! Never saw that one or I might have tried for a Toyota myself ! Wrong gender I guess! Had to buy my own jeep with a massive HSBC loan ! Well, knew what I signed up for in 1993. Had a brilliant time with joyful crews and enjoyed the Island with it's beautiful people for 17 years. Would have stayed longer were it not that I was shafted. Made the mistake of shouting off at the wrong people when I thought I might be listened to because I cared. transpiring events make me grateful for being plucked out of a bad situation. The demise of a company greatly admired by many & enjoyed by those fortunate enough to have been there during the best, makes dismal reading. I wish nothing but good things for the special people who made me so welcome. I wish dreadful things for those who booted me out, unwittingly, doing me a great favour, as it turns out. Peaceful & joyous Ramadan to all.
