Well it IS the solution, regrettable though it is, if you are overmanned. Walk around the pink palace & see what I mean. If the plan is to reduce aircraft. you are obviously going to be overmanned. A benchmark used to be total personnel per aircraft. Don't have access but it is probably worth some quick research and simple maths to see that GF is definitely overmanned. Once again, in deciding a redundancy package, the greedy will be screaming for more while the company bleeds on a daily basis. Absolutely lacking in a road map, a hard business plan & the ability to see it through. Used to be called Management !

The solution to Gulf Airs problems is simple....
The King should decree everybody is to pray ten times a day for Gulf Air to be profitable...
I read in the GDN that the King recently decreed everyone was to pray for rain...and 7.99mm soon arrived.
Gulf Airs case being more critical requires ten times a day.

40/80, they need to pray for peppermint candies to get solutions for GF.
Clear in that GDN article, they prayed for rain and got a presidential envoy from the Philippines.

Seems like it is a bit late to start praying if you have a look at the latest S.M. Hello Gulf Air note; a part from being diplomatically vague, we are being told that " change is inevitable for the sake of the company in the long run ".
Fair enough, I don't think anyone would use the "change is inevitable" for a change that will be a good one ( at least for those concerned and I am sure we all know who will be the affected ones ).
So, instead of praying, maybe it is time to start packing ...

Three new destinations in India are being looked at pending goverment approval:
Bahrain carrier Gulf Air plans to fly to three more cities in India - The Economic Times
Also, Saudi postpones new aviation licenses till end of DEC 2012 as it needs more time to review the bids.

IF there is any truth to this it looks like Gulf Air managed to find a new operator for one (or all remaining) A340's.

GF resembles a premier league football club managed by oiligarchs.
Too many managers succeeding eachother, without having a free hand to manage and or a long term plan and a sense of direction.
Of course SM didn't resign, but was asked to leave with a nice fat bonus.
The new board of directors taking full control.

Majali's Resignation has been accepted by the board:
Arabian Aerospace - Majali quits Gulf Air
Who will follow him up, let me guess, a Bahraini?

Chelsea has the money.
GF does not.
The owner of Chelsea knows what he want.

Chelsea has big ambition and willing to invest heavily to achieve its goals.

Mr. Roman is the man of action, if the manager does not do his job right, he is out.

Bahrain finally wore him down. Doing business in Bahrain can be like playing cricket with one hand tied around your bollocks. 
Fair winds and following seas, SM - or whatever you airmen say.
