Leaving-qatar-airways-qr-all-you-need-know
.
I hear that pilots are now leaving Qatar Airways as fast as they are joining so I guess we need this thread.
I also hear that if you do the decent thing and give three months notice Qatar Airways respond by refusing leave in the notice period, cancelling staff travel entitlement and witholding pay! Easy to see how they achieved the 5 star rating.
Little wonder, then, that most people leaving "The World's Five Star Airline" do so without warning. Presumeably there are those in the Company who claim that those who leave in this manner are some kind of lesser beings who are not honouring their contracts. Has it occured to them that the treatment of those that are foolish enough to treat Qatar Airways as an honourable Company is one of the reasons that the recruitment rate will soon be lower than the departure rate!
As one who is faced with a choice between honourable departure resulting in virtual imprisonment in Qatar for three months or doing a runner (against all my principles) may I ask that some of those that have left in either way pass on their experiences?
I fully appreciate that those who have moved on may not feel inclined to take the trouble to respond but in the end it may benefit all of us if we can shed some light on this interesting part of the modern airline world.
Potential Qatar Airways employees may also benefit from some enlightenment in this area as compared with other operators in this neck of the woods. (What woods? I hear you cry.)
