Talking QR 28% Pay Rise

Hi Guys,

Rumours abound that QR pilots picked up a 28% pay rise recently.

Anybody care to shed light on the matter?

Sooner or later you'll have plenty of comments about that.....I can tell you that morale is very low with the f/deck crew not just the cc. Al Baker....wait and see, there will be quite a few resignations soon.....I know exactly what's going on right now, start recruiting....eeer, again.....

Is this really considered a pay rise for well-deserved work, or is it a way to desperately keep the people from resigning? If working conditions are bad as they seem to be, is the extra money worth it?

As a pilot at Qatar Airways

- you will not be able to request days off, request a particular flight or arrange to swap a flight

- you will be lied to at your interiew where they will promise you 8 days off in a row every second month but in reality it will turn out to be 3 days off in a row

- you will as a captain operate Seoul - Doha ( 11 hours block STD Seoul 3am local) with no inflight relief

- you will not be upgraded with 8000 hours in the right seat, they will rent a contractor with 3000 hours instead

- you will work in an athmosphere of low morale, fear, negativity and decreasing standards

- you will work for a company whose cabin crew turnover must be in the thousands

- you will be told at a pilots meeting by your CEO that you are being spied upon

- you will recieve no assistance in getting your housing, education, car, banks etc.., sorted out when you arrive here

- you will work like a dog to replace the 30 pilots who departed the airline last year and the 12 or so who have left this year already

- you will probably wonder what your are doing here after 3 months have passed

- you will have never worked for a company like this, what they do here is illegal in most countries

YOU WILL REGRET IT....I DO

I have my doubts on the continuation of the pay rise.

As AAB came in as CEO in 1996/1997, there was a an increase on allowances which lasted 2 or 3 months.that was his bait of staff moral boost.

well,....... did I say moral boost ?????????

Beka,

Regarding 30 pilots or so resigning and replacing the statement with TRAINING CAPT'S resigning, your list is just about a mirror image of EK.

I was talking to a captain recently in London and he tells me that there will be many resignations soon - the longtimers are simply fed up with all the negativity, poor morale, salary etc
