My sources at Boeing tell me the negotiations have not gone well with GF. There is a big difference in the price Boeing was offering and what GF was willing to pay for the 787. It seems doubtful those beauties will be a part of GF future (barring any political decision by the government to please the U.S.).

Boilermaker,
Interesting comment seeing as there appear to be simultaneous meetings taking place today in Tolouse with AIB and in London with Boeing.

As I have said, I have good sources (a must when u are in the airline consulting business). The London negotiations you speak of ended 2 days ago if I am not mistaken, and are not simultaneous with Airbus as far as I know. Why? Because the source I have in GF says the team that went to London 3 days ago left there already and are at Airbus now.

Boilermaker, as someone who knows Icarus, believe me your contacts are a lot further away from the talks than he is!!

I hope you are right and everything is going better that what I was told. Good luck.

Guys in 4 days every one will say WOOOW Gulf Air :)
:D It's really a big deal :D

FADAC- you reply/sound like your ten years old. yes Gf flight deck is peeing their pants waiting for yet again big/any:bored: news.

Gulf Air received their 2nd Boeing 737-800 2 days ago.

Well I hope you're right fadic or you will look a right tw*t!

Hey FADAC, Dubai Air Show closes at the 15th November......
I hope the big guys in the pink Palace know that, too!

It would be really disappointing for all of us if there is not even a single order from GF.

with only two days to the end of the 2007 DUBAI AIRSHOW. let me be the first then FADAC:

" WOOOW Gulf Air, It's really a big d... "

First day of the Air Show has passed and nothing yet. Now we will see how truthful my sources were and if I have been far off.

I got talking a bloke in the chippy in Adliya last night and he reckons an announcement is due today at the airshow..................................


Excellent fish and chips............

Too bad Boeing or Airbus do not barter. We could send Seattle or Toulus all the Hamour they could eat....forever.

FADAC- What is your latest. Always good to hear your perception of reality. Typed this up in the font that keeps you in your comfort zone.

FADAC, GF got their big order as anticipated: 2 x Leased B-738's.....you half t..t:yuk:

GF is known by the biz community as a joke of an airline. Now Fadac has assured everyone that they are the joke of PRUNE.:D:D:D
here here well done GF and Fadac keep us and everyone laughing.

Hey Knows shutup, who the hell are you? There are alot of very decent people working hard at Gulf air that dont need to hear youre bull!!!! opinions, keep some dignity and keep youre keyboard locked :=

Rumour is that our bearded friends in the ever so intelligent & open-minded parliment are making problems for the company regarding new aircraft. Seems these ever-so religious a**holes want their piece of the action.:ugh:
Hence no orders to be expected.

Ohh shutup skywaytoheaven,I think you need a hug son, we all work our A$$'s just to see some :mad: screw up and others telling us to lock up our keyboards while pretending to work yeah:cool:... and yes i was here way before you mate, and out of base for the airshow in DOO BUY..:rolleyes:

FADAC, hunny, this one for you

" WOOOW Gulf Air, It's really a big di...... "

err youve been here longer than me? wow good for you, or poor you not sure which, doesnt exactly mean alot round these parts. I hope for a good future for Gf like everyone else, enjoy Dubai, I've heard its a lovely place:ugh:
