So you actually think this was so good you should thank somebody for it???? First it doesn't come out of giving motivation to the crew or showing appreciation to you. Basically they did not have an option due to the massive amount of resignations and employment market recovery, But is people leaving because of money?? not a 100%.
The salary rise in QR never comes because of the amount of people resigning, they never care, is all about the amount of applications received, which is low compared to the requirements of the company.
Also the extra money will come from the pockets from a minority of employees (surprise surprise the senior pilots) who have lost their furniture allowance, and all the guys who lost their confirmed full fare tickets on other airlines to go home (QR does not serve every city in the world) this ticket was clearly specified on your contract, by the way contracts in Qatar are as good as toilet paper . 4 to 5 years ago salary increase came from removing extra hours from everyone, I am not trying to bring the spirit down but for sure in QR they are so sure about the senior pilots that they pull this tricks to attract more new joiners and really dont care if a senior guy leaves.
So guys see the big picture and before you spend your hard earned money on boats, cars, quad bikes and start thanking somebody who hates you .....think that nothing comes for free we are paying for this salary rise somehow....
