It's a conic problem with Qatar Airways.
As for now Qatar airways is short of co-pilots across the fleets and surplus of Captains,Now how would any one expect the company to maintain the upgrade,that means who ever reach the minimum requirement must go for command, then how dose it end. It will become 2 captains cockpit .The company in very delegate situation ,company can not stop the upgrade,If they do then co-pilots will leave by the tens.
So the only way out of it, though it is not the best way,is to put some hurdles and try to slow down the process and tighten the mesh further.
Recruitment groups are every where now trying to close the gap.
