Longtime

Gulf Air announced last week that they would soon be stopping the services to Athens, Milan and Sydney/Melbourne. I didn't notice the one about Zanzibar though. I would post the link to the article in the Gulf Daily News but their website is down at the moment <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> . .Lot of very miserable Australian budgies here at the moment <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

RG. .A very highly placed source said two weeks ago that the GF report would be out 1 week ago. (It hasn't appeared yet). .He also said it would be edited <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> . .The reasons given as to why it has taken so long is that the insurance companies are trying to get the families to settle first. The insurance companies think they are going to get creamed in open court once the full report is published. The families also know this so there seems to be a stand off. . .Perhaps the only way they will resolve this will be to publish a report which does not blame the Captain, although it will be hard for them to come up with a believable alternative. If they make any attempt to put the blame on the aircraft then Airbus will go for the jugular <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

With so many people aware of the issues at play in GF at the time of the accident, it rather seems like wishful thinking to believe an edited report will be accepted either by the families or the insurance companies. Especially with all the promises made just after the accident to ensure a complete and honest divulgence of facts. But then who knows? Anything can happen at the pink palace.
