Great to see some more QR controversy on here ... I thought AAB had maybe become a real pussycat and everything was rosy in the QR garden.
Chevy SS's comments to A300 man earlier on this thread are spot on. My advice ... only accept a job with QR if there's nothing else around and you're prepared to stand up to the CEO and his clowns ... or become a meek puppet like so many others and toe the line while at the same time complaining to all your colleagues about what a lousy company it is to work for.
There's a real regime of fear throughout the airline. Many employees are so much in fear of their jobs (particularly those from the Indian sub-continent) that they put up with everything without daring to complain ... including the fact that many have not had a pay increase for five years.
On another subject, I'm told that the German guys from LH Consulting who came into the airline to run Ground Ops and change the world have found out that it's not quite as easy as they thought. Agreements made with the CEO have been broken and they are finding it impossible to get a meeting with him to discuss the matter. Not an unusual problem ... he's no doubt too busy meeting with cabin staff to tell them their buttons are missing to deal with the major issues facing the airline.
The man is not equipped to run an airline the size of QR ... probably not equipped to run any size airline for that matter. He will get found out sooner or later. For the sake of the airline I hope it's sooner.
I could go on ....
