If GF want experience from the get go....there is NO other way.
Why upgrade a First Officer when you can HIRE experience directly into the seat? Generally much cheaper in the long run...and GF has had some ah...."problems" with their upgrades, have they not?...A320 comes to mind......

This brings to mind a certain UK ops. director who moved on recently. Would be hilarious if he caused a "brain" drain!
Gulf Air interview - "Do you know anyone in Gulf Air?" ------- "Well, err, I do actually!"
Pity some of us don't have 757/767 ratings, but WATCH THAT SPACE (and try to remember if you ever upset him!).

The plan is that the 767 will be around for another four years.
Capts and F/Os are needed, sex is NOT an issue anymore, GF is looking to employ FEMALE pilots.
I guess this is because QR has alredy moved in that direction.
CV,s to Capt. J. Choudry MFT B767, Gulf Air PO Box 138 Bahrain.

Dear All,
Re: Gulf Air 767 positions.
Looking towards First Officer vacancies.....was earlier thread really correct on the salary front?
I know it's tax free an all that....but 25K seems a wee bit short.
Any other general feelings about the company,lifestyle,promotions prospects. etc would be greatfully received.
Cheers.

I'm sorry but 36K for a Captain is nothing short of an insult. I suggest that you advertise in Moscow to find the calibre of crews that are likely to be interested in working for that sort of money.

Some information is filtering back to the guys at the Orval Bar and anybody thinking of joining Gulf Air might find these items of interest.
Depending on exchange rates: Approximate monthly
Basic salary: USD4250/ GBP2500
Allowances:
Technical: USD1290/ GBP760
Housing: USD1160/ GBP680 – N.B. This is only paid when company housing is not used. Apparently most do not because of the low standard and reasonable private accommodation (small villa) is in the region of USD1730/ GBP1010!
Wife: USD0120/ GBP070
Utilities: USD0290/ GBP170
It is said that the only cheap thing in Bahrain is petrol – less expensive than bottled water.
Also:
Days Off per four weeks is a MAXIMUM of 8 and reportedly can be less, to meet ‘operational’ requirements.
Leave happens in two roughly equal blocks, However, the information is that cancellation happens on a frequent basis; even up to the day before the leave is due to start.
No over-time. Roster instability introduced to make sure that pilots do not reach the cut-in point.
No increments.
No profit share. Rumour has it that Gulf Air has not run at a profit for years.
Good luck to all.
