Judging by the adverts in Flight as well as several posts on this forum, it would appear as though QR desperately need flight crew and at the rate of expansion they seem to have planned, I don't see where they're going to get what they need.
EK recruiting is maxed out at present. GF are/were seeking crew. Al Itihad are seeking crew, Gulf Falcon, and a few others in the Gulf are looking for crew as well.
I don't get it either.
Who's getting on with QR and what are their backgrounds?
They claim in their adverts, or at least imply, that those without a Type must sign a bond. If you are Type Rated with experience on Type but not current or haven't flown the Type in a few years and are prepared to sign a bond, what's the difference?
Does it mean if you ARE Typed but aren't current you won't be retrained, given recency, or simply trained if you are willing to sign a bond?
I guess I don't understand how this works.
Can anyone clear this up for those of us who are/may be interested in QR?
thanks,
Willie
