I read your post about your DECs and feel the fustration you guys are going through at Emirates.
If you remove the word EMIRATES from the post and put QATAR AIRWAYS, it is the same, same, same over here with the way they treat the F/Os and the upgrading. Pathetic way to treat your long time, dedicated, f/os.
We also hire the non type rated captains that have to go through the full coarse. They are hired just because they did some "JET" left seat time at some airline that gave them a quick upgrade on a 737 or MD-80 and now they fly here at QR. Some of them have no idea what is going on. You should hear the stories coming from these F/Os at QR about the QUALITY in the left seat? Probably the same stories over at Emirates?
Anyhow, we feel the same pain over here at QR. Sad but true.
