Some announcement???
 

So what are the guesses for the announcement that will be communicated tomorrow:confused:

Well that post gets the Gold medal for vagueness:confused::confused:

One announcement that I actually DID hear today - although probably nothing to do with this thread - is that the Middle East will need to find 8000 pilots over the next few years to cater for the expansions of the mega carriers in the region (EK / EY / QR) and also to cater for DAE expansion plans into and beyond the leasing market!!!


8000 people is a LOTTA people. However will they do it?

Drain all the third world pilots.

Finding the pilots will be the least of their problems.

Finding the punters to fill those planes or finding the bankers for the refinancing or finding the lawyers to help out with the eventuall bankruptcy proceedings may end up being more of the problem.:ooh:

If you check your webmail you will find this weeks "hello gf" & the boss says there will an announcement tommorrow.

BN officially the 9th PCE for GF !

Most likely to do with the appointment of Björn Näf as CEO (already announced in Swiss financial newspaper "Cash"). Ex-SR pilot Christoph Cain to be installed as Head of Ops, and Paolo Fitze as Head of Security. All Swiss buddies.

In an interview in today's edition of "Cash", Näf said he would pursue a strategy of growth and expand the fleet.

Nice to see the Swiss are now ready to take GF to new heights, just like SR:}

Lets hope the Swiss do a better job in GF than the complete ass they made of things in EY!

Fitze as head of Security!!!!!!!?.....are you sure:eek:....good luck!

Fair enough......thats if I was in GF

The Swiss did a great job:yuk: in Europe a couple of years ago,ask the Belgiums:}....Good Luck guys:sad:

Seems the announcement has been postponed, as Bee-on-snuff has to go to Europe for something urgent.

Interview???

Oh, I thought is was a cermonial removal of the Oman flags from the flagposts around HDQ. Confirmed PCE? Cannot find anything on www.cash.ch other than the July-07 annoucement of BN taking over from AD. Anyone care to publish the article proclaiming his confirmation? (Other than the GDN last week where the Chairman left little to read betwen the lines on this matter)

No Flare. Get your facts straight before you start slagging people. The Swiss had nothing to do with the beginning of EY.

Cool it, Togalk. That is not what he said.

Anyway, PF is slated to join as the Weepy for Safety, and not in the Security deptt.

Reminds me of the joke:

Who are the two perfect room mates?
Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald !

Have fun!

drain all the thirld world pilots
 

And of course you M ab33t, the miraculous and wonderful Master of aviation, you will be there to teach them the art of flying .
Cause all those fast growing expanding and what else Cies really rely on your abilities and skills to keep them booming.

well this should be interesting as The Chairman, has openly used globespans proposal and has been quoted using parts of it and has not even acknowledged them.

I 've got a question for you. In your opinion what's the difference between a 3rd world pilot and another one from your well developed country? Just for your info, I had two sim supports last month. One I was supporting one brazilian DEC. The guy did a wonderful job with a perfect CRM and scored 5. The other one, from Ethiopia, was doing one of his lofts for upgrade. Scored 5 as well. So mate, what's your point?

Dear ab33t,

We all live in the same world. Who are you to make such a remark! Unless you are an alien.:=
