Qatar Airways ,five star airline ,NO OVERTIME this year!!!
How Qatar Airways steals from crew pockets regarding overtime and claims it is a five star airline and Qatar is one of the richest countries?
latest meetings of the management with CS and CSDs the overtime limit was 840 and it is written in our manuals as well but how come they suddenly changed it to 950 without any memo or announcement.
Did we not deserve any explanation? Are we not a part of Qatar Airways team? Is it not true that Qatar Airways is 5 stars for its best crew? Should it be the way of appreciation? How they expect crew be loyal to them when they betray crew like this? Economic crisis just happened to them or World is suffering for a long time?

How come they changed it without a memo? Because they can.
How can they expect crew to be loyal? It has worked so far. In their point of view there will always be people willing to take over your job and they would gladly show you the way to the door.
As far as they are concerned they don't actually need to give you anything. Nevertheless an explanation to what they are doing.
Qatar Airways is a five star airline for the passengers. Not for the crew.
I think there are many of us who worked very hard for them and really would have appreciated something when we left. A thank you would have been nice. Probably too much to ask for.

Maybe the times when pilots where the only one "being taken personally from behind" are over guys.
As cabin crew you always thought, well some of you anyway, that you where invincible and over-powerfull, that you where considered better than flight deck etc etc...
This proves that is not true!
By the way, they took our overtime pay away last year in exactly the same way. No note, just GONE!
Wecome to the -5star airline from an employee perspective

Shampoo 9,
are you aiming at a management position? Do you regularly bend over?
Utter BS! These things have nothing to do with trying to make money, it has everything to do with an HR dept who thinks that all of us living in the metal tubes are over-paid bus drivers and waitresses. All the other departments are fine, but flight ops is the culprit!
So keep your nonsense to yourself please...

"Qatar airways giving the best salary in GCC"....?Really...!! well in that case i guess money is not everything because:
How come people from Qatar Airways are leaving or have left for Emirates,Etihad,Air Arabia,Bahrain Air.. and Nobody From One of those company listed joined Qatar Airways!
So something else must be wrong in Qatar airways isn't it??
Any explanation Shampoo??

And you know what the good one is?
While we are eating this downgraded foodstuff, which by the way is absolutely disgusting, our cabin crew is still munching away first and business class food!
Ah yes, because they have been told specifically that pilots can not be served leftovers, as we are overpaid busdrivers, but they can!
This and all the other issues happening lately, which caused the management to get back to their old tricks, has proven once more that companies in this place are not to be trusted!
As far as I am concerned they can kiss their fuel saving and all other things they ask from us good-bye! No more discretions, no more flying on days off, no more cancelations of leave. Back to TOGA take offs, full reverse landings, multiple brake applications on taxi out, extra fuel and M.83 all the way!
Especially guys flying to Europe should burn extra...ETS sill sort their stupid calculations out very rapidly. The bill can be enormeous!
If this J.Gonzales guy thinks he can fool with us like he did with the pilots in TACAN, he should think again!
And by the way, thanks a lot FRANCO for dumping this guy on our necks! Much appreciated compadre!

Right
Qatar Airways owes no one a living - true. However the reverse is also true, that if they disrespect us we will disrespect them. They downgrade our standards, take things from us, steal our money then we must do the same to make them understand the repercussions of their actions.
This crisis will not last forever and the aviation market long held down by 911, SARS etc. will soon blossom leaving the bad employers without 'drivers' then lets see what will happen. A/C on the ground no drivers, suddenly we maybe considered in a little higher esteem, nearly as high as a CSD.
A warning to the QR management; you reap what you sow.

@ JABAL,
maybe you are looking for a job, maybe you think you are lucky to have found one here recently.
And maybe there are 145 ex-SIA applicant CV on the desk of the CP.
SO WHAT?????
All the ex-SIA guys are only here to look for shelter during the crisis. They will leave as soon as the crisis starts showing real signs of recovery. And so will most US pilots as well as the ex jet airways people.
So please, dont pretend to know everything there is to know, dont pretend we do not know what is happening around us!
We do know.
But does that mean we have to be ripped off on a monthly bases? Does that mean we have to accept anything they throw our way?
Mind you, all we are asking for is to maintain the albeit rather meager conditions we already have these days. All we are asking is the respecting of our contracts.
So please crawl back under the rock you came from if all you can do is come up with posts like your previous one!. I can assure you that maybe you have more experience in flying than me, but I beat you probably TRIFOLD in experience inside QR!

What a mentality Jabal!
Economic crisis is NOT an excuse for qatar airways to take out our benefit slowly but surely WITHOUT even advising us and treat us with such a HIGH level of contempt!!!But yes... here it is!!
Act on such a way toward the people in the "real world" and the airline is paralysed by a strike the day after.... crisis or not!!
By the way Mr AAB has annouced in one of our propaganda newspaper a few weeks(months) back that Q.R. is gone make profit next year!

He's a genuine moron and a management wannabee.
And I agree with PC. Cooperation is no longer in my QR vocabulary. The degradation of our hotels was bad enough but the food........do they really serve that sh*t to the EY punters? And has anybody else encountered being supplied with the same meal across the cockpit? Surely a safety issue? Also I would guess it costs more to supply that crap into a separate section of the forward galley than it would be to let the original arrangement stand.
Just another example of the contempt the Poisoned Dwarf has for this airline's employees!
