Honestly, after four loooong years, i am delighted to know i was made redundant. Yes i know it's not the best moment to lose my job, but with the money, I worked hard for I can carry on for a while. The day I received the call from HR I WAS SHOCKED! Now after nearly two months I really don't miss the airline, the turnaround flights, the sleepless nights, the threatening emails from the company and the silly eLearnings on grooming.
Pilots and Cabin crew are just way stressed out by the company. On 350, the last three-four months started to become worst than hell. 130/140 hrs per month, Europe and Asia turnaround paid half of the salary, a good friend on 350 did SYD turnaround and got paid only 6 hours. Even with fewer flights most fight deck crew are stressed and fatigued ( I still wonder how QR roster managed this ).....The fear of getting a call is always round the corner. You never know when HR will call you.... the same thing happened to me after a flight I got Roster change and a phone call from HR. The company doesn't give any communication on when the redundancy will stop which creates great stress on personnel.
Managers are too busy calling pilots to the office regarding WhatsApp groups or social media, this is the only thing that seems to matter to them. They are terrified that the world knows what really goes on.
Recently thirty pilots got terminated / redundant for gossiping about the airline on a privet WhatsApp group. Qr managers have managed to control all the Whatsapp groups in the pilot community. Also, company accommodation group was closed.
The airline spends a lot of money and recourse on ENDLESS CRM courses taking about teamwork and communication but still, nobody trusts each other and management lacks in proper communication and teamwork.
Pilots and cabin crew are at high risk of being infected but are terrified to call sick days because they could lose their job even for a normal flue. This is QR SAFETY culture ....I don't understand how authorities around the world allow QR to land in their country.
The funny thing is that the national carrier of the worlds wealthiest country behaves like the worlds worst low-cost carriers.
I can say many funny things about them but i have already wasted too much of my time.
Any info you need ask in PM.
stay safe and better days will come.
