Major dissapointment. We can now only guess what will happen.
Will they hire people and let them wait a little longer because they are expecting improvement in the future? Or will they postpone interviews and applications? Or will they be more strict now with the existing applications and reject more pilots since they will not need as much as pilots now as they first thought they did?
All possibilities. Some more realistic then the other, but still stressful.
Time just froze and it's not known when if will unfreeze again for Qatar Airways.
A company like QR can not just assume that everything will get better and needs to make backup (contingency) plans. It's important how these plans will affect it's current and future-hire pilots.
Don't forget, it's a very important period now with the summer and Ramadan, Ramadan holiday. Both which are potentially important times of the year. It's not good to miss these.
Let's see what happens. Can't blame people now for changing his/her mind.
