part 1

As far as having partners travel. Heard it is done. Must be here 3 months to buy the ID-90s on QR and 6 months for ID-90s on other airlines. You can check the loads to help with planning (on QR flights) and unused ID-90s can be reimbursed. Plus with all the leave, ample time to travel and enjoy the world.

Just to throw my two pence worth in.

A number of months ago my father was at ICAO's meeting of the airlines and QR's human resource manager gave a speech. He and other airline directors sat there in silence and disbelief.
To sum up her speech, pilots and cc, what a bunch of useless money grabbing dogs. We play them lots, so why do we have to listen to them.

Furthermore, my father has spent a good amount of time dealing with the goat in white robes, but my father prefers to call him 'Little Hitler'.

Out of all airlines in the world I am banned (Well father's request) from joining one... Can ya guess?

yes that sound just like Rosemary alright. the Big head of HR has a very big chip on her shoulder when it comes to flight crew. (pilot ex-husband who ran off with a cabin crew, must be the case).
either way, a very miserable woman.

happiness is V2.

Interesting post. Any chance your Father could get more details? Transcript perhaps. I am sure the guys would love to know how treasured they are.

Hi ,

Can someone please tell me what sort of hours will be realistic for the 777 fleet at QR. I am currently flying the 737-800.

Thanks

Time to upgrade...6 years! For the rest....LONG LIVE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!


Summary sounded like Rosemary F al right! She hates our guts deerly! She is the one behind the fact that the pilots' salary scales only go to 5 years (15 years in EK). Reason: according to her you can not express a pilts' productivity beyond 5 years! In other words: expiration date of a pilot in the company is 5 years....

In any case, she is finding herself in some turbulent waters herself, now her territory has been invaded by an ex-EK HR manager. Both are not on talking terms and word has it the chief is getting it on his nerves....

To be continued!

Yes Schneider......

Lots of changes soon here, not just in HR! But cleaning out the female rottweiller would be the best change IMHO.

How many pilots QR is hiring this year? Or monthly...

How may simulators do QR have in Doha? What type?

Are QR doing interviews now? When?

Thanks!

housing

So, what is the story with housing. Are they putting the pilots out in tents? Seriously, I have a wife and small baby. Do they give you a 100 sq. meter flat or is it a stand alone house? Or do they give an allowance and let you struggle to find something affordable?

Thanks
