yo fatal dude are you really local pilot if so then I don't think I'd want you to be my training captain:E

oh and I'm a local as well

Capt (Ha Ha!) Fatal,

You obviously much enjoy throwing a spanner in the works and getting every one's knikers in a twist. I have my doubts you're even a local but frankly I don't give a toss what you are. One thing is for sure, you've done your utmost to prove what an outright Wan:mad:ker you are.

Keep up the good work, I for one really enjoy your childish utterly useless rant which takes up bites in syberspace to no effect whatsoever other than to satisfy your week pathetic little ego.

Cheers
Fluffies

Is the use of the term "Paki" offensive?
 

Dear Ironbutt 57

In the UK, yes it would be for 2 generation. But for Pakistanis themselves, there is not offence and that is how they refer to themselves.

Just like Yanks, Brits, Ozzies and Kiwis.

All sorry to but in on your parade - I am thinking of applying to GF but one of my main concerns was that being a brit from Pakistani origin and GF having 50% local pilots is there any discrimination - (having travelled in the ME the indiginous arab population havnt always been the friendliest of people). Capt Fatal doesnt inspire any confidence to apply!

Your thoughts would be appreciated (especially from any pakistanis out there)

PS. IBN Kalb - Afro Americans in the US refer to themselves using the "N" word (see many thousands of Rap songs) I'd like to see you go into any black neighbourhood in the US and use the same word - I promise you would be dead within 30 seconds!!! Just the same with pakistanis calling themselves whatever they like that doesnt give outsiders the right too!:=

Dont think for one minuet that Fatal represents the sentiments of any majority here..we have several "hyphenated" Pakistanis here, meaning Pakistani-Canadian, Pakistani-British to name a couple..best of luck in your application..

thanks Ironbut:ok:

This topic is quite disgusting. The racism and arrogance(unjustified-read fatal) is very poor. When I get on a flight, GF or otherwise, it doesn't even cross my mind that there may be racial clashes brewing subliminally(personality sure-thats quite normal).

I just want the tech crew to get me there an back safely, which GF has done superbly over my past 10 yrs flying them.

I'm not sure why the moderators do not ban cpt fatal..it is clear now 'its' contributions are not in the spirit of this forum. :confused:

A humble pax who enjoys pprune immensley.

Oddy:)

Dear oh dear, just got back from leave to be greeted by all this curfuffle. As far as I'm concerned, GF is a bit of a gem in the region in terms of general conditions. I mean look at EY and all their issues in these forums. I still think we got it good, that is until the next poaching exercises by our nominated masters.

ODMEA -- here, here, totally agree

Red Baron - well it all depends what word you use...if it is "niggah" then you are cool but if it is "nigger" then it is offensive.

Very strangely enough, the rule only appllies of you are a black person. If you are white, whichhever word you say, you are rascist...so the anti-rascist policy is itself rascist!

Anyway, some of my colleagues call me Cracker which I quite like ;-)

excuse me Capt. Fatal but may I add one more thing before I leave you alone??


احترم نفسك يالثور


sorry for that guys just had to let off some steam

anyways does anyone know what new destinations are coming online (other than Shanghai)? And when will they upgrade current fleet before the 787s arrive??

Thanks

espicially for you .....R
 

Hey Mr r..... s..:mad:.t ........ again MYOB.......... the arabic words you wrote, it really reflects from which environment you have been rasised in....maybe.............STY........ keep your distance

GF A320 took off two days ago for Sanaa without takeoff clearance. Maybe Capt F? If it is such a local airline, why is it run by Bjorn Naf? Is he Bahraini?

guess who???

Well put Mr. R. but I think our friend Capt_F is just a big s*** stirrer. I would be shocked if he really is who some people say he is & even if he is really a local.
Rumor has it that 777s might be an joining our fleet???

re:Terms and conditions
 

All,

In between the mud slinging, can I ask a few questions.

I have read what PPjn says and that the package is supposedly overall better than EK & EY but are the allowances enough e.g does the housing allowance pay for a house/villa (as I have 3 kids) and is the education allowance per year enough for one years tuition fees?

2. DO Fo's actually save any money?

3. What is the time to command

4. What is an average FO's monthly salary

many thanks

PS - Capt Fatal feel free NOT to add your opinion:}

He who laughs last thinks slowest.

1- Yes, the package is better in some points and the housing is not enough for a decent villa for your family. If you plan to stay for long time (5Y+) maybe it's better to buy one and education allowance is not enough as well.

2- With three kids, personally, I dont believe you can make any savings

3-Time to command... God knows, I guess 8 years from now

4-The average salary is 2800Bd (w/o housing and school allowances)

Cheers!

we've heard that rumor for years now:suspect:
