Gulf Air hiring Captains on 767

[Boeing Belly]

I spoke to a couple of mates today in Sydney. GulfAir is over here at the moment interviewing ex Ansett A320 pilots for F/O positions on the A320 Fleet. They've been told that Gulf Air is not hiring any direct entry Captains any more.

[ironbutt57]

All initial commands at gf are on the 320...so maybe no dec's...but 767 yes

[The Trappist]

A bit more for you guys thinking of the 767.
The fleet route structure, so rumour has it, is like this:
Northern Pakistan: Very close to the Afghanistan/ Kashmir borders and the continuing troubles there.
Nepal: Rioting in the capital, general civil unrest.
Sri Lanka: Capital airport recently attacked – planes destroyed, cabin crew killed. Constant security alerts – crew busses stoned.
India: General civil unrest.
Sudan: Recent hijacking from Khartoum – non existent airport security.

Sounds like fun.

Ok then , I'll never come out of my cotton wool box.

London.........next prime target for Osamas mob.....or maybe Paris...or maybe Rome..or maybe........???

I think I'd feel safer flying something with arabic on the side than a Union Flag right now....discuss

Besides, I could get run over going going to the shops for a pint of milk ...oh and some of those choccy bikkies too.

Trappist don't know what sort of cocoon you live in...but hey my old route structure (13 yrs ago)....Chicago Midway...don't even leave the airport boundary for a white castle slider...detroit....f.a, murdered in the airport hotel car park....denver stapelton...denny's right across the street....got robbed with my f.o. eating breakfast...so fun is where you find it.....it's dangerous to be alive...you might get killed...

....and the really big bucks for flying in the Gulf region disappeared a long time ago, except perhaps for royal flights.

[mjenkinsblackdog]

Gulf pilots.
Therefore what is the average take home pay per month including all the benefits for a B767 captain?

[BlueEagle]

Well, I'm not a Gulf Air pilot but, if I have done my sums correctly, a B767 captain would be getting about US$4775pm plus about US$1000pm for housing, (or a free company house), tax free.

Hi there me ol' Scotty,

Nice to hear from you, how is life?
Yes, some leave has been cancelled from under our feet,
that's exactly why we need more pilots to keep the 'show'
in the air. Heard that 30 have applied for the job.
Anyway, let me know how things are, everything here fine.
(sort of)

Many thanks ,hope youve found something better.

Just a quick one.(ooer).

Have got an interview for F/O position with GF coming up.

Whilst I realise that the interview is the perfect time to ask questions and queries on the GF package etc, I thought I might be as so bold as to enquire here as to F/O lifestyle,advancement prospects and the like .......before the sweat gets in my eyes.

Thanks,

[Vref+10.....to 44]

any info out there on the above???

Cheers

[B767300ER]

Would they hire Americans? Or am I dumb to even THINK of flying there?

[ironbutt57]

Yup they got 'em...nationalities from every continent...'mon over!

[fullforward]

Finally, let's go back to main subject of this thread:
Are they really recruiting B 767 skippers or not?

Dear B767300ER,

Are there 767 Captains on furlough or simply unemployed in the USA?

[ironbutt57]

They were just in London interviewing, not sure if all positions filled or not.

[fullforward]

Thanks, Iron!

But I never found anywere the notice they were recruiting, except here.

Merry Xmas!

[ironbutt57]

T'was mentioned they had sufficient resumes and no advert needed...still awaiting outcome of the recent interviews.
