Ferooz, in Doha! The only one happy to see the pilots! How he mothered us with all our whims and fancies! He knew everyone's culinary preferences, the timings of the simulators and the timings of individual instructors, and kept looking after all of us with a smile!
Apparently, the last VPO did not want the Canteen caterer to be supplying at the new Sim center, and that is why we landed up with the over priced and under-stocked counter that we have there.
If the normal canteen caterer were (or is) given the contract, we could have a decent canteen running 24 hours a day, at reasonable prices, and he could be restricted from serving curries etc. to prevent to the odours. After all, these guys serve snacks etc. on the floors of the pink palace all day.

Are we to get an increased package or what ?

Payrise for the gingerbeers first I read somewhere.
Rumours of a pilots payrise will cause others who had resigned to reconsider withdrawing their resignations. That number will probably determine what the payrise will be like. If too many withdraw their resignations, a teeny weeny payrise will make them reconsider resigning for good. If not enough come back, then maybe a bigger payrise. I am speculating but what else can we do to try and see where our company is going? Seems like going around in circles though. And I am getting a little flustered.
Meanwhile, EY talking about a 'how to pay off your GF bond' scheme which they will happily facilitate.
But I will follow the wise advice of a prominent ppruner....just turn up to work, carry on what we do normally.

I am and so enjoying it thanks.
Just a little anxious at what I'll be coming back to in a couple of weeks. Don't like surprises the likes that took one of my colleagues when she came back from leave....felt just like joining a new company was the comment I recall. Such was the change in GF!!
I'm conditioning myself I guess.
