Lots of delayed flights

Guess what, Im still here. Im in the same lounge I was sat at nearly 12 hours ago. The flight was delayed for over 2hrs. We got on the plane, we sat down. It was announced there was a fuel leak in one of the engines, they closed that engine down, we headed to engineering for them to take a look, they took a look, there was a leak, they took another look, they coudnt fix the leak. They ordered buses for us, we waited patiently to get off the plane to ge ton the buses, we went back to transfers and moved fomr pillar to post to person and Gulf Air were ignorant, blanked every customer and didnt care. I couldnt get hold of anyones names, number or job title. I guess Gulf Air went for Eid holidays and didnt care about their customers. After 2hrs of waiting and wondering and asking and getting nowhere, a gentleman in the Cathay Pacific Lounge told me the flight was rescheduled for 255am. I waited patiently. The healthy eating was cancelled, the carbs and alcohol were back in the game. I sat some more, and at 245am Gulf Air cancelled the 255am flight. As if they didnt know this before. Apparently there was no other plane, they pretended to try and fix the exisiting plane and bought themselves a few hours of quiet. From what I have seen and heard today they have lost a large number of customers, and some of them may well be in jail by now with the frustration and anger that was vocalised to untrained staff without any provided information or guidance from managers. Im now over 24hrs awake, Ive lost my sense of humour and I just want to go home. My heart goes out to the sinle parents (mostly) and families with children who have been give no priority bookings or advice, the complaints list from one flight alone is going to keep Gulf Air busy for many weeks to come. Dilmun Lounge will be making a loss for the time I have been sat here. Forget the air show, I really dont give a s^$t. And its nothing to do with maintenance. Its an ill prepared, incompetent airline dumping on their front line staff and customers, laughing that they are making money. The day Gulf Air folds or admits a loss, is the day I will smile with satisfaction. Karma, it affects big business and airlines too. Now I need all your prayers, wishes, and good karma that I get on my flight so I can go feed my cats and my friends 4 cats who I am kitty sitting from tomorrow.

Fun and games ;), noone here knows anything.....I will eat!

All other flights are overbooked and have waiting list! Oh dear ....

No mention of my GF510 .... MIA!?

Whats the flight number and to Dubai or Abu Dhabi? Im under the board, any more requests :). May as well make myself useful. Anyone delayed I recommend Dilmun Lounge (AED180 food, drink and internet), shame Im on a detaox at the moment, I could really have a little party of my own over here!!

Emirates delays are averaging 2hrs, Gulf Air 2hrs or unknown, whatever BN is (Brunei) also delayed for over 2hrs. Most that are delayed arent saying anything, they just remain on the board.....
