Unfortunately it probably will. According to the report the majority of job losses will be in the area of cabin crew.

Posted: 17 Apr 2007, 20:11This story seems to confirm more about the restructuring at Gulf Air, selling a number of their a/c to be replaced by leased one's. Losses of $1million a day are very high and worrying!
Posted: 18 Apr 2007, 12:12Gulf Air have also announced that they are to cut their thrice weekly flights from Dublin as part of the restructuring. It was rather nice seeing their planes there
Posted: 19 Apr 2007, 12:44At least we will see Ethiad flying to the Middle East now from Dublin , if somewhat a restricted number of flights.
