A positive statement about Qatar Airways
Dear gent's
reading many of your negative comments about QR, I feel the duty to describe my positive experience in the company.
I joind QR as a F/O on A320 , 2 years after I was upgraded to Captain, (if i didn't join QR I would had needed 7 more years in my previous airline to start dreaming about command !!!! ) .
Not only I was upgraded in a short time , but now I ame looking for a command on 330 hopefully end of this year,
Can any one tell me were the hell and how many company's in the world will offer the same benefit ...
Let's be faire, every company has it negative and positive, so what if AAB want me to put my hat,
so what if I cant smoke in uniform!!!!
not only that , but lets ask the Question: why we have in QR ex-pilots from Anset and Airlingus airline,
those were great company's, with a good social protection system and unions to protect pilots from management abuses, however these good pilots contracts were terminated ,
So when AAB is recruting 60 pilots every year untill 2005, good company's are terminating many contracts!!!!
Ho is better, AAB or those , lets cut the sh...., please,
pilots working for QR ( like most of world pilots) are working for either 2 good reasons:
1 - they like the company or
2- they dont have an alternative
even if you are among the second type , QR is giving bread and butter untill you find the company of your dreams ,
about the salary...
eventhough there wasn't a raise since 5 years , however, the salary is equel or better then most of europe Company's exept the Major flag carriers,
finaly I would like to advise pilots ,specialy those ho are looking for an upgrade to command to apply for the airline, having the chance for command in QR, is mutch better then being F/O in lufthansa for next 20 years....
