Exceedances,,unstabilized approaches?? Those that blatantly and willingly violate these regulations, among others, do need to be sacked.. Passenger safety is foremost correct???

Under the impression that extreme adherence to uniform standards and protocol are essential to one's existence in the company too.
But at the end of the day, one needs to perform in the manner in which the chap who signs your check wants you to perform.

The list of things you can get sacked for is never ending. If they dont like the look of your face one morning...bye.bye....
The rules change constantly, so you never know where you stand.......not a place conducive to a long and stable,career.

Anybody has information an what a typical QR roster would be (for A320 and long haul)?
Is that true that you may have some of your days-off abroad between two flights?
Between two rotations how much time (in average) would you stay home?
Many thanks for your replies to help me have a better idea of what the lifestyle would be when working for QR.

Current info
Hi,
Anybody care to share experiences of leaving QR of late?
There are a bunch who have resigned (or sacked) off the 777 and possibly a bunch of SAS guys to go soon; So I imagine that there wont be a shortage of current info.
Would be nice if anyone can share the contract/bond enforcement if you have one.
Care to describe the proceedure; who to see; treatment.
What would the advice be for someone leaving that has not finished there line training yet?
Cheers
(good luck for your future if you are leaving)

Disagreeable,
We do have a very efficient dept here in QR,it's called the termination dept at the QR tower(3rd floor)..I suggest you go there and have a chat with the guy( not sure about his name,I think Mr Careem..),sure he will be able to answer your questions,at least some of them.

However, alot can be gained from peoples real world experience and this thread is very relevent considering the problems alot of people are having in QR at the moment........ I know if I were in some of the shoes of some people I know here then I would also want to know this information; As well as for all the star struck QR wanna-be's who after joining may have to leave for many reasons.
So for those with the experience of leaving recently (whether its officially or unofficially) your experiences are welcome.

Just heard direct from QR crew first hand (Capt & F/a, unrelated) that 70 pilots departed last month and 230 flighties resigned en-mass just last friday...
Experienced crew on type now very hard to find, so if you've got them yuh want to hang on to them!
I would have thought no one/very few turning up to the many Recruitment Roadshows, plus all these "departures" was message enough to them... no?

flighties?
now lets say for the sake of argument that 70 cpt/fo is correct but, if you mean by flighties , Cabin crews etc etc. Than I would have to say that this info is incorrect! Simply coz they do not allow CC above a threshold number to resign, on a single day.

Yes, fair enough, Boeing.
It's more an indication of what has happened on the employee's end, not the employer's end and what they may or may not allow.
What they deem allowable looks like it is becoming irrelevant now, with so many walking away or not turning up.

Chocks Away,
Go fish some where else!
If you know how QR runs the operation and rule in the State of Qatar, then you would know that if you want to leave any company stone cold without any notification to your employer, then as a CABIN CREW, the best thing you could do is show up for work and then carry on with your life else once you are out of Qatar. This has been done in the past at QR and EK and others. BUT beware, you are closing a lot of doors this way as you not be able to work in most of the Middle Eastern region. You may not be able to properly transit either, as there may be some implications once you arrive in Doha.
As a DEC crew, totally different policies and procedures, a lot more flexible!
In Qatar, if you don't follow the set procedures, then you will have a tough time getting out, I am not saying impossible, its just going to be a stress full time for you, not for the company as they may take their time. Just know what you are getting into, and not act as a teenager and feel that you have the right to do, say and wanting everything as you please. Have a plan when you join the company and have a plan, when you are leaving. You have to have an exit plan if you are leaving at your terms or at somebody else's terms.
Fly safe and happy landings everyone!

Can anyone tel me WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF CERTAINTY if, when I give them 3 months notice, my staff travel benefits will be cut or not (as some of the 4 year old posts suggest)?
I have a family member planning to visit and a small trip to take AND a week of leave AND family who will be wishing to levee Doha before me. Will any of these plans be affected?
Thanks

If you are actually in that situation, then go talk to the welfare department and they will clear out all your questions and concerns, they will have all the answers for you.
If you not with QR, then don't worry about until you are in that situation! Live your life stress free as there are many more important things to think about other than staff travel benefits when you are leaving the company, and if your brothers, sisters, parents, in-laws can't travel because you are making a life changing decision, they should understand.
Hope your ask your questions to the right person/department instead of on a forum like this!
Good luck

well,..
The already purchased tickets will be valid for the duration of your employment(as of the start of notice and/or the validity of the ticket. That is also 3 months so you will be able to avail some additional tickets 1 day before you resign).
You do have a limit now for the numbers of tickets you can buy, opposed to before your resignation.(cant remember exact number right now 6 sets or so).
If the tickets are purchased before resignation (for your family member visiting and or planning to visit) there will be no consequences for them unless the tickets validity will expire. Again mind you this coincides with the 3 months.
Your week of leave now can be affected (withdrawn at will). Disregard a previous ACN(2012/2013) indicating that you would be allowed to utilize instead of payment of non used leave.
But don't be shy and just ask the separation officers in advance. Nobody will be able to stop you anyway.
