Hi mate,
I would say everybody with the right attitude as well as the right skills is more than welcome over here! We defenitely need as many professional pilots as we can get our hands on.
As long as everybody plays it by the rules (read respect the seniority system), just like you would do in any other major company, and hereby you dont see QR just as a cash cow or fastrack stepstone to higher goals, all will be fine!
Good luck to all of you...
Regarding I.M and B.W........dont know the details but I have to say that both of them seem to be nice and knowledgeable people. Salary issues on the side, maybe we should give them the benefit of the doubt. One year would be considered a minimum. Off course this should be done under close scrutiny and a watchfull eye. QR can not be turned into an "old boys club"
