Capt. Mussawi

{Manager Flight Safety}

joined the Massalama list. His last day...tomorrow

Capt H is leaving cuz he wanted to be the VPO, but now he will be setting up a consultancy which, of course, will be 'servicing' GF.

And of course consultancy to GF will be free of charge or a nominal fee of few million Dinars.:suspect:

Capt. Mussawi? Isn't he Qatari? He is definitely going East...

where ever he is going he was a complete waste of space:E

that was a cheapshot lowblow propeller, even to my standards.

New guy here. Hope no spelling mistakes.
After a long time with Gulf Air, it's time for me to move on. Must say I have enjoyed all of your company, and if it's one thing I will miss here, that is it. Great flying with you boys. Keep it safe. I will continue to cheer from the near sidelines.
Neultin out. 767 Captain

just for facts i think what obsidian was trying to say was,the flight safety dep. should have been more involved in issues concerning maint,crew scheduling,etc..i dont know what fleet you fly but the b767 and a320 are plagued with techincal problems plus they do four sector days some of which are cat c airports..i do not think thats safe, considering the over all technical status of our fleets and crew moral..dont you think they should point this out to management or shall we have an accident or incident??!!! safe flying..:E

just for facts you must be management:} all what i was trying to say was they should have taken a more aggressive approach in trying to achieve things..you wasted your time typing all that crap :E and yes they should fire all management may be things will get better then:E

Obsidian, based on that last post you must be all of 10 years old. I suppose you want to be a pilot when you grow up eh!

Back to the topic.
What's the damage looking like at the moment? I was going to ask how many have resigned but i guess it's easier to ask how many are staying?

yes jackbauer i want to be a pilot just like you,but with the ****** bit deleted out:E

Oh dear...I remember when the GF flight safety office was closed down....so that "We do not have incidents!"...to qoute a new B767 local management pilot.
Shame is....a good proactive unions of cabin crew... pilots... and engineers provide excellent amounts of technical feedback to management and the flight safety staff and it can prevent accidents and repeated incidents.
If management do not listen or flight safety departments exist then it is logical you get a mess and repeated incidents of the same nature and fatal accidents.
Incidentally.... I also know the reason why the expat individual concerned started the GF flight safety dept in the first place..and it had nothying what so ever to do with safety...and a lot to do with getting rid of ex BA DEC Captains on index linked pensions doing 5 years retirement jobs in Bahrain and blocking commands for good blokes like F/o Rad Gammage and others.
The starter of the GF flight safety dept soon ended up as ops manager after his perceived plan worked a treat and then in due course we got our commands.

Ah yes Scanscanscan...I remember them thar days!

Fingers crossed for Radstone. I have just pinned up our course photograph from '74!

Bestest

FW

just facts i know i am right ,i dont need an incompetent manager/pilot like you telling me whats wrong or right..flight safety is useless,its just there to provide pilots like you with chairs and office allowance!
'flag raisers',oversight' is our management blind??? of course not,you know better...
i did not apply because just like you i am unqualified for those positions:E
tokms=kis amok bin kalb:E hehehe safe flyin:ok:

Let's get back on the thread
 

Another FO on A320 (Canadian) is going to Emirates. I saw him in the fleet office while he was droping the bomb on Hamida.

STOP THE PRESS: GF FO leaving for Emirates in middle eastern airline swap shop shocker!!!

Somehow I dont think they are too shocked to see resignations anymore...

Etihad holding another assessment on the 20th. Guess more people will leave the Fallen Falcon or was it the Golden Falcon, can't remember anymore.

Rumour has it that there have been 173 resignations so far...:ooh:
