Although I would tend to agree, as long as it is in a positive note i cannot see the problem, it's when it turns into a slagfest is the problem yes??? Big showing for the roadshow??

i tend to disagree on that one when senior management is involved. when one reaches a certain status with a company, they should be able to cop some flak as well as good criticisms in this forum because their decisions affect us directly.

Ok.. I suppose.. after you have of course given them the benefit of the doubt by approaching them through proper channels, voicing your displeasure/concerns..just had to do that yesterday..sure I will do it again...

discussions on this forums regarding individual management types may be for research purposes before committing to approaching them and making a fool out of yourself.

So what's the news folks....it's after 6 by my watch....

chrispatrickGA well said buddy, well said....

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

OK, so does anyone have the details of the new package. I was not able to attent the meeting, but have heard that it is good. Can anyone confirm with numbers?

GF package facts
 

Hi all,
Just attended the meeting.
CPT new basic = 3000 + 60x "per year of service" quote:"introduction of seniority system"
This is topped @ 4200
Married housing allowances 700
Single 600
Schooling secondary up to 2500
Pay per block hours 6

Now the question is ...what is the "seniority system"?

So if a guy has been there for 20 years as a FO then becomes a CPT..how is his seniority calculated?

have fun,guys!

His seniority, or his monthly time in seat 60BD?? the 60 BD is time in position, .. his seniority for bidding leave, roster etc...etc remains to be seen..hopefully for that person it's based on his time in service with GF as a productive flt deck crewmember eg: flt eng, f.o. capt, so he would be able to "outbid" say a 10yr DEC...as it should be

dear chrispatrickGA the topic is pay rise not people resigning so read the title correctly plus what B7,etc says is what i heard good 4 all of us yahoo:ok::ok::ok::ugh:

With the new package Gulfair can do some road shows at Qatar,Etihad and Emirites door steps.

Ok gentleman...so now...we have a job to do...our colleague Capt Gammage and his family are in need of our support..I have sent an E-mail to our "acting CEO" ( and a pretty good act at that!) requesting GF's assistance in supporting Capt Gammage and his family, as they see fit...so let us rise to the occasion shall we gentleman??? Let us share our new found fortune with those who have toiled away for many years and served GF with the highest level of professionalism...and made it possible for us to be here..shall we??? The "GET RAD HOME" endeavour is our new challenge..."together we can do it"...:ok::ok:

Now that's an occassion that caption is suitable for!!:D

Best Ever Package
 

This should be Heralded as the Start of New ERA .
MAnagment and Govt.should be enoucraged to continue their work.
The FAlcon will proudly continue Flying (Airbuses) inxallah.
Its now time to show the managment that we CARE and help in improving their effort .WELL DONE all this is the way things are done in an Oil booming economy.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!:ok::D

Ok,
@ the bottom of the hand out that was given ystrdy @ the meeting it says " this will not apply to those who have already given their resignation"

It was also claimed that this package would not come into effect before October or November....

Now, let's not forget that this is not a "present", nor is it an incentive. GF is just doing here the strict minimum towards us in an effort to match competition. It is a good move & we all appreciate it. But the strategy must be clearly highlighted. They had NO choice...Otherwise the very operation itself would have been @ stake.

Let's hope the effort will go on and that the "bored" wake up and approve cash release to renew our equipment. This is also an absolute must.

B7,etc well said buddy :D:ok:

Yup don't forget that this wouldn't have happened if all of us hadn't resigned. The guys who are leaving are the catalyst for this rather dramatic change, hope the guys that stay enjoy the benefits.
