Nothing wrong in trying to be motivational, but having tried to motivate my crew for five and a half years only to see it taken away by AAB, well can't help being a tad cynical.
The ex QR crew are merely stating facts about actual incidents that happened and as this is supposed to be a thread about QR management I would like to share an amusing ditty with you:
After I left QR, I was sitting quietly at home one morning when I received a call from QR in Doha. I was of coursed surprised, even moreso when it was the group HR manager!
" Em, we have a bit of a problem."
" Oh, what's that?"
" Well, actually, we need your signature!"
At which point I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It transpired that after getting ALL the relevant signatures on my clearance form...there was a slight hiccup where I was meant to go to the bank and then back to Akbar Mansions and sign the final "clearance." Only nobody told me and off I went back to the UK! After offering to fly back out and sign the thing, it then took about 2 months of correspondance before I was finally "cleared"....
I am led to believe that said manager has left, but he was a tad embarrassed.
He also happened to comment by way of an apology that the "decision" for me to leave "came from above" and they knew nothing about it until a few days before I actually went!
Interesting system they have at QR.
BYB, this is FACT!
I loved it out there and enjoyed my job...but I did not enjoy having my personal life dictated by ET.
I would love to have been a fly on the cabin wall when he was chucked of a BA aircraft at LHR. This is also FACT!
BYB, please listen to your elders and no reading in bed!
Respect for all the QR crew! ( ex and present )
