I got the same pic! And it was at the finance guys desk since day one when I joined...
That's part, if not the real reason, the E190 got ditched. Why renew the leases for another 3 years till SEP 2016 when you know you've got the CS100 coming 2 years earlier to replace the lot.
My present company has 787 models all over. I wonder if I should read anything into that?

John, good to see you posting again & glad you touched down safely . IB, thought you had moved on too ? Anyway, don't be misled by the promotional give-aways. My old company ordered Md-11. Biggest model I ever saw was happily displayed at Company HQ. Fully illuminated with flashing strobes.....the lot. I talked MD to sending me a small desk-top version & lied when I told them I was in marketing (just a Boeing driver). They sent me a sooooper model. The company went bust six months later & I was on welfare. Had a great BBQ though as we set fire to my MD-11 model. The big model at HQ went missing. Oh, and 787 ? You guys are too young to remember Perry Como who sang a number one hit "Dream Along With Me (I'm on the way to the stars )", but it rings in my ears whenever I see or hear anything about the Dreamliner !
Boy, that Bomba looks cool. Good for GF. Hope you get them. Ideal for the new network. Finally, since GF has adopted all my rescue advice (see previous posts), anyone know who I contact for Consultation fees ? Thanks.

Majali walking the corridors of Oman Air as consultant to the board. CEO WP of Oman Air rumoured to be short listed at GF due to -If signed Unions at GF will have him out in 90 days. Good luck and hold on tight!

Quite right Johnster. One CEO after another has been driven out by the interference of others. How MP's can have a say in the running of a commercial enterprise is one bit of the madness. All potential CEO's will just see this as a chance to take up a meaningles post, make a buck or three and then exit into oblivion. Until a new CEO is given full authority to run the company as he/she sees fit, and, to stand proud or fall on the sword, the rudderless ship wil continue to flounder.

Every single expat chap i saw recently is ether resigned or about to in a nearest future
Even locals are attending interviews here and there Will get direct entries soon most probably DECs, as they have SOs coming and payed by finance company.
Just curious who is going to come here after they recently sack people who joined and worked less than a year
Any other rumours???

Sad to say that after 14+ years with GF, I was asked to leave. No place for expats anymore in my department. It is sad to see the company I have worked so hard for over the past few years lose it's direction in such a way. What hurts even more are some of the upper management I have worked for become so arrogant and insensitive that they would not even look or talk to me in the days before my departure (not even a 'good luck' or 'sad to see you go', etc...).
