It's the main talk going around. 60% from what has been planned and 40% speculations.You see,there have been talks with "what to do with the new 321s" and "how does Russia Sound" around.Just put 2 and 2 together
Either way,it's all up in the air for now.The airline lacks vision,which is a bigger issue than it seems...

Whats wrong with indemnity? I think it is still the same, basic only without any other allowances
Without the appointment pay, to those entitled to it, it means a loss of something between 2000-10000 dinars, depending how long the person has been here

This has always been a problem guys & vented many times on previous pages. GF has never complied with the Bahrain Labour Laws by paying, only, basic. Most find this out when they leave or are chucked out. In order to get your final cheque, you sign a disclaimer accepting that all is correct & you will not, under any circumstances make further claims, in settlement. Gotcha ! If you complain, your three days to get out are compromised. Since your Res Visa & work Permit are pulled (almost immediately), technically, you have no time to pursue. GF have got away with this for decades.

If a claim is filed in labor court, the sponsor is required to keep you legally on the island until such claim is settled...witnessed that personally with a former colleague at a previous employer....fortunately I didn't experience any discrepancies on my terminal benefits...sad to hear they have apparently taken the low road..

IB, can you immagine Gulfair legally keeping a former employee on the Island while it defends a claim. Would they pay all hotac/accommodation expenses etc ? Would they pay a retainer ? What visa status ? A bit of a joke, I suggest. But, glad you got away with all benefits. Did you get basic plus ALL allowances per month, multiplied by years service ? Congrats if you did because it would be a first. They paid me & all colleagues known to me only basic . BLSA is correct. Allowances were not included. When pointing out that they were in breach of Bahrain Labour Laws they would often say....................."ok, sue us !". They certainly did not suggest keeping one on the island whilst the claim was pursued or even offer it as a possibility. Most leave with less than they calculated and a sour taste in the mouth. Great shame.

When similar occurred to a mate of mine not at GF..of course the company didn't put him up but they were unable to cancel his visa or deport him in any othe fashion..when he won the case the employer was required to pay his salary for the 18 months during the case, and the amount of separation pay originally claimed...had that person been unsuccessful in their suit, then tough beans for him...
