I don't really know why this thread is still on. It shouldn't have started before the man being actually out
. If it was rumour then, perhaps "Is the GF CEO on his way out?".
These carriers are not public institutions where top management is voted out because of citizen pressure or a national parliament. Not here in the Gulf.
Let's sit and wait.

GULF AIR APPOINTS NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, 02 July 2009
Gulf Air, Bahrain’s national carrier, announced today the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the airline as it enters the next phase of its realignment strategy.
Samer Majali, former CEO of one of the Middle East’s most commercially successful carriers, Royal Jordanian, will take over at Gulf Air within the next few months from current CEO Björn Näf. Until then, Talal Al Zain, Gulf Air’s Chairman, will manage the business in the temporary position of Executive Chairman. [/font]

Plenty of reason to be optimistic about the future with Majali's appointment (assuming he gets the support he requires from the Board, Parliament, and the other often feuding forces here on the island). He has a proven track record and steered a financial turnaround at Royal Jordanian, privatization, and the joining of a global airline alliance.
I wonder where Björn Näf will be heading.
An interesting article about Majali:
