Gulf Air to restructure cockpit and cabin crew remunteration
Gulf Air has approved a new compensation package for its cockpit and cabin crew, as part of its ongoing restructuring programme.

According to Gulf Air Board of Directors Chairman, Mahmood Al Koohej, the carrier is “moving ahead full steam with the realignment of Gulf Air”. The improved compensation is “our appreciation for the flight deck and cabin crew's hard work, dedication and commitment to further strengthen the Gulf Air brand.”

At an ordinary general assembly meeting at Gulf Air headquarters, the Board of Gulf Air, including members from the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman, also approved the company account for 2006.

Gulf Air Acting Chief Executive Björn Näf was the driving force behind the proposal for the new package for the cockpit and cabin crew. Mr Näf has welcomed the board's swift decision to approve the compensation as another phase of adjustments, which began in June.

For pilots, the new package includes significant increases to housing and schooling allowances. In addition, a new seniority system will be introduced, which will be clear and transparent.

The company also has plans to install a performance appraisal system in line with Gulf Air’s strategy to boost transparency, people development and to prepare the company for future growth.
