Interested to hear from the horses mouth. No naysayers please.
Fair enough, but "straight from the horses mouth" means the bad along with the good. If you only want good opinions to help whatever confirmation bias you have towards Qlink then be prepared to be disappointed if you join!
1. Rosters - Covered well by Gx
2. Morale amongst senior captains (be prepared for some "naysaying" here
) is about the same as for the rest of the pilots: Middling to low. No secret that pilot engagement with the company is at an all time low.
Why? IMHO there are two main reasons:
One is that the constant meddling with FCOM procedures. While SOPS shouldn't be set in stone, Qlink changes theirs way too often and for some very weak reasons. Also, many of the changes are either poorly thought out, poorly implemented or both (Q300 intermediate speed cruise leaps to mind).
But the main reason for low morale are the constant attempts by mgt/ops to screw over flight crew of their entitlements (i.e. allowances, pay, etc).
3. Where is Qlink headed? Expansion! The first of 7 new Q400's arrives next month, with options for more. Qlink was one of the more profitable arms of the group last FY, and there is room for growth.
Plenty of rumours of new routes/frequencies/bases/regional jets, etc. Like most rumours, believe them when you see it on your run sheet.
4. Agree with Sue R and Norma.
DIVOSH!
