I suspect CEO PITA being part (or at least in good relationship) with Qatar airways management...and just agitating a carrot in front of pilotīs noses, in order to prevent them from leaving the boat or at least to try to attract some pilots...Otherwise there is no need to repeat 10 times the same story....
But as said before money is an important factor, but itīs not everything!
Anyway in Qatar airways only believe what you see not what you heard.
