2 years, 3 years, open-ended, all of them are 3 months notice anyways

there is a difference between how they are required to pay you between time specific and open ended if the employer terminates the contract

yah, with an average 2 meters visibility on a good day...all the best with that

IB. Don;t wish to get too bogged down in legal specifics that might drift too far for the thread but mate of mine was one of the previously referred to "Age over 60" pilots transferred to A340 on one year contracts. He was booted out for being too noisy over the deal , within the one year period, He even had to fight very dirty for the three month's pay in lieu of notice. He suffered having to sign off on legitimate sick leave being taken from annual leave bank ! Not being a whizz at mental arithmatic, he thought he came out of it with 3000 dinars more than expected, blasted off to the Mall & bought himself his leaving gift.

One year contracts still required three month's notice on either side. While three months pay in lieu of that would be easy to recognise, are you suggesting that since it was a one year contract, terminated within one year (even three months), more compensation would have been appropriate ?

Too late now because all those terminated are required to a sign a "full payment" obtained with "no redress" after leaving the island. If you didn't sign, you didn;t get anything. Charming.

He signed, glad to get out of it and gave himself his leaving gift.

Slow, I see your spelling is worse than my arithmetic. Interesting to note that in addition, there was a three year bond on a one year contract. Go figure that ! Point is, really, that these gigs work only in favour of the employer if you fall foul. Even "deemed" to be foul. You win, only if you get what you want out of it and slip away. Still enjoyed my stint for all the good bits and still wearing my leaving watch that I bought myself.

for fixed term contracts, the company was required to pay out 3 months OR 50% of the remaining contract, which ever is greater as they painfully found out a few years back when the genius CEO from the military cut some pilots, that they needed back 3 months later...some made out pretty good in that payout

the over 60 thing finally got fixed, nowadays one flies to 65, no issues..

IB; Thanks. I got nothing like that and although three months pay in lieu of notice was authorised, Head of HR ( I use the term politely) kept me waiting for three hours before signing the pink slip. Still, memories of playing drums at the Rock 'n' zee on a Thursday night take away the bad taste and leave the sweet memories lasting rather than the bitter.

Hi guys

I am wondering if they are still hiring NR Fo’s for the A320.

Got unemployed 9 weeks ago and still looking for a job.

tx

Blimey. What with slowjet /spelling and Gordomac /mental arithmetic I am for once speechless. I can however understand now why they are mates.:rolleyes:

FO position only for locals

Gypo still licking his wounds in the Sergeant's mess we see ! Anything mildly interesting to say about Gulfair Developments ? Ah, no, by your own admissions - speechless. Do us all a favour and stay that way Corporal .

Guess originality not your strong point LF! Your obsession with the Sergeant's mess says a lot as to your background methinks. Watch out for the men in white coats is my advice.

You clearly are incapable of recognising friendly banter when it is staring you in the face. What a joy you are.:hmm:

Can you ladies take the fight elsewhere? thanks

... secondment between ****** and GF. Late 1st of April's joke...

the offer of secondment to Emirates wasn't very successful so I heard, can't see one to GF being so either...

Any word on them reopening recruitment for NTR FOs or CAs later this year to prepare for the arrival of the A220s?

Didn't they cancel the A220's? I thought I read somewhere they would focus only on the A320NEO family and 787's.

This was in the news last November. Makes mention of Ageing A320's replaced by
A320 NEO and 220/100's but that was November 2019.

Not that this is much to go by. But Wikipedia still shows the order for 10 220s as intact.

even on the official list, gulf air is listed. Majali really trapped them into it

Any news on how GF are riding the storm ? R & N showing how neighbours are re-acting. Interesting that QR operating almost as though nothing has happened in the world. Hope the falcon can surf this one & recover.

Mmmmmm, thinking the same thing. Gone as quiet as the unmentionable lot, Maybe nothing to report ; Ops as normal like QR .

They wont be operating to BKK as incoming flight ban extended to 18th April,

Anyone with latest T&C for 78 DEC?

Also interested on latest T&C, in my case for A320 DEC, thank you! :ok:

They’re all terrible.

Are Gulf Air still considering starting flights to MAN, UK? With everything that's going on there I'm wondering if they are about to pull the plug.
