You'd have to be crazy to join QR as an FO nowadays. If this five years business is true that means a new joiner FO is looking at 7-8 years before his upgrade by the time interviews, training etc. is complete. Thats getting close to what you have to wait at major career flag carriers.
We are very short of FOs... this isn't gonna help.

A Cheerful Song to Warm a Sorry Heart
Rumour has it that a clever verse of reverse pyschological satire is planned by His Littleness to combat growing Goaty ridicule. Cabin Crew are to sing this simple song during boarding to the tune of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow":
"We're taking you more personally,
We're taking you more personally,
We're taking you more per... son... ally..........
When you fly with The Goat! (clap, clap)
When you fly with The Goat! (clap, clap)
When you fly with The Goat! Hooray!!!"
etc.....
Crack a beer and give it a try, hope it cheers you up..... Black Stain

You think Loc22550 is negative?? Clearly you dont get out much.
Now I'm definitely negative. And why? Because there really isn't anything good to say about that small dusty latrine.

Qr Ooooo Nooo
New memos in QR !
Capt can not aske for anything except water before departure .
CSD is in charge of flight and will tell capt how much fuel to take .
CS can come and aske some safety questions to FDC and if we dont answer CS can issue us warning letter instantly .
Salia K has to sign F/Os upgrades after CEO becouse Salia and CEO are TRE and know how to grade people.
PO can demote any capt and make him F2 if he want.
Grooming officer will check capt and f/o and if they are not within Qr standards termination by grooming depertment.
F2 are not alowed to say good morning to FLt deck crew since that could be missinterpreted as respect and only person who can have respect from F2 is CEO ,Salia and PO s !
F/O have to help in service and we can have 1 F2 less on every flight so airline will save a lot of money .
CS can and must report at least 1 cap/manth for anything to be current as CS on type .
Finally every capt when recruted has STBY warning letter in his file just as help to short procedure becouse he will anyhow get it so why we wouldnt give him one at jojning !

..in your new memos... i think i saw something like that...:
"we are happy to announce you that due to the high inflation in Doha(the highest in the gulf) and the crash of the qatari riyal, your salary "decreases" on a daily basis, and so we donīt see any reason for a salary increase for this year.Thanks for your hard job wich may become harder and harder due to the shortness of our crew,as we are still investigatin why people donīt want to come to work here...."
Qatar airways..taking you more personnaly...

No upgrades since Nov last year have been conducted. Just starting right now at a VERY VERY slow pace. At least it's going on.....
BAD NEWS DEC are still taken even though official policy is not to take any....
Don't take it personally rake it on the rocks!!!

F.O. at QR or Capt. at home?
Hello there. It seems that lately the negative postings on QR have spread like butter on a hot pan, specially on what concerns UPGs. I have passed an inteview and have been given a choice to join QR as a F.O. A330 but also, "coincidentally", I have been given a letter of promotion to A320 Capt. from my current company half way around the world from Qatar.
The issue for me is monetary mainly, since in QR in the position offered I would make more than double what I would here as Capt. But off course life here is not as expensive although we pay taxes.
I am still young, mid 30s, and always with the will to go out and see the world, learn from cultures and people from that side of the planet which is another reason why I would be tempted to accept the QR offering. And obviously the chance to fly a great airplane (A330) which can take me to see all that, while learning more from the Captains I would fly with. A great experience all and all.
What to do is the question in hand as the deadline approaches to tell both parties of my choice. I know that most of the guys that write here post negativeness all the time, I don't see anything positive for joining QR now as a F.O., which makes me wonder about some positiveness ever being there.
What would your suggestions be? And do you think the DEC requisities will lower later on, since I would really like to go there sooner or later?
Thanks in advance...
