Only for the cc this year...
Indeed no increase,No bonus...NOTHING...For cockpit crew ...what for.., Qatar has just the highest inflation in the gulf, Dramatic devaluation of the currency last year...,and i dont think thinks will change in the near future ,so everything is perfect here....
Why Spirit 1 do you want an increase....??

O yes.

Time is running out.
The last year I lost 30% of my salary.
AAB do not care.
He is lucky.
We are still doing a damn good job, course we have our pride, dignity and care about other people.
Shame on you AAB. Shame on you

Spirit ..i think you are ..too negative...
You lost 30% of your salary....so what..leave it.., there are plenty of desperated pilots to come here after having failled EK or EY assessment...
So really MR AAB has no reason to be worried... (well that's what he think..)

Hello,
I will join QR in july.
Is there any Brit or pilot with a Uk license that could clarify me on a couple of issues?
Please send me a PM.
Thank you very much!

.......and guess what, I haven't failed EK or EY! Now go ahead and hit me with proper humour!

See you soon

Bufe

I will sure try Smirnoff!
No offence meant to anybody, just trying to lighten up things with some good old pilot banter!
Thanks for the British humour, I have worked so hard at it......but that's where I live not where I'm from.......
To be completely honest, Loc you are actually partly right, I applied and they won't call me without commercial experience....so technically I haven't failed!
Still looking for some info on UK licenses!
Cheers

QR

Why would anyone jojn Qr this days ?
Airline which underpay there pilots ,airline where cabin crew has more authority then capt,ailrine which has termination department becouse there is 2-4 person every day beeing terminated,ailrine which is run by person who is hated from north to south of globe ,airline which have more things resticted then allowed , ailrine where you cant eat on ground ,airline where crew can not have orange juce and dates,airline where acapt is more stressed over gruming then over flying .
QR is known that on intervew promiss many good things like fast upgrade ,house ,good roster and slots of 5-8 days off in roster but ones you jojn and resigen from youre previous airline you just get to know that upgrade is 5-8 y, you get apartment ,no 5-8 off in slot,salary dont follow euro rate or $ fall and you can be terminated becouse cabin crew in her VR stated that you asked for orange juce or you bring youre small kid into cockpit and so on . . . . .

I guess probably for the same reasons you and many joined and/or are not or yet leaving!
I'd like to see for myself only then eventually join the club, then you can tell me " I told you" and I'll buy you a drink!
Trying to stay positive here!
Cheers

Qr

Dont jojn !
Many stay only becouse kids going to school and some of pilots took a big personal loans to invest back home or so and one more trick if you take loan in Qatar you cant leave without paying full amount off and cancel youre account so you get stuck .
You read at least 150 negative post about QR dont tell me that all of us lie or just hate Qatar or so . We tell you true man !
Try Etihad or Emirates its 100 % better then QR .
If you are desperet and can get only into QR then jojn take type rating and leave man !
When you jojn QR first 60 days the world look pink and you are so happy but after you step deeper into shi....! You will come back on this forum and start telling true to others .
DONT JOJN QR if you love youre self and youre familly !
QR could be a nice airline if a CEO would be A. Johar or a reall Qatari .

Stay positive..i wish Bufe 01, but when you see your salary everyday melting like snown in the sun..+..inflation.., believe me everyday you keep asking yourself.."is it really worth to stay here....?" (and im just talking about money..)
Anyway..welcome to Q.A. Bufe01.
By the way ,Don't worry you will realise what i'm talking about as soon as you land in Doha..its almost everyday in the newspapers here...!

OOuuups ..in the mean time today the U$ (and his fellow friend;the qatari riyal) has reached a new low level record...1 euro=1,59U$
Stay away!

Bufe 01: do the selection process for any other gulf carrier, spend a couple of pounds and see Doha (schools, hospitals, facilities) and see the others across the gulf and make your mind, I assure you it will clear your view and don't say you were not warned....

On a separate line any news about fleet transfers or news from april the 7th meeting???? (320 to 330 maybe???)

What an interesting passage of play....

How funny the realization that an opponents pawn does not even see the game, or realize that he has just joined the losing team. A fish that John West rejected. That is the Goat recruitment pool; and this not by chance.

When the game is over and the Goat finally goes down, all airline CEO will witness moral to this dark story: Don't neglect safety personnel, take good care of your pilots.

Like I said......"partly right".......and I'll leave it at that, no need to know the story of my life!
On the other hand i sort of asked for it......and as they say this part of the world "if you can't take it shouldn't have joined"! So no hard feelings.
Cheers

Anyway Bufe01:i think it's our duty to give you some(true) Advice before you come here:

-Be very carefull on the road, a four wheel drive investment is probably worth to save your live and your family in case you are smashed by an idiot driver with his powerfull heavy car.!
- you better choice the right slot to drive on the road (3...4pm is probably the "best" or friday morning).Just keep a eye friday approaching any major mosque,as people use to park their car on the right hand lane of the main road (police doesn't care).
-I recommend you the same slot for shopping,otherwise you may end up in a total mess,parking.....(the city is becoming oversaturated)
- Avoid any public toilet anywhere (shopping center,airport..), just disgusting!
-Hope you are not an F/O with kids,because Q.A. will only give you an appartment, you can look by yourself to rent villa, but when you will see the price, you will propably be chocked and will change your mind immediatly!
-School..well i hope you will not have to put your kids on a waiting list (i guess this is the last think you want).
-All public area(shopping center..) have been declared "non smoking area"...that's a very bad news..for ..non smokers.. as noboby respect the rule!Who cares!( but.. by the way don't try to have a cigaret during the Holy month Ramadan in the street or even inside your car..you will be in trouble!!)
-If you have some free time, you can go to the cinema and enjoy numerous violent, and blood bath movies(no censure for that,censure only applied on"litigious love"scene...),or a walk on the corniche: just make sure any accidental(indian,chinese..) spit ends up on your shoes or trouser.
-To be free and able to leave the country whenever you want you have to pay for it and need a multi-exit permit (..120U$/year).
-Hope your are not resident in Europe,as mentioned before,you will see your salary melting like snown in the sun(not betterV/S other currenecy actually) except U$.(personnaly i'm planning to leave next year.. hopefully; this devaluation of the Riyal doesn't make me laugh anymore!)
-probably i forgot a lot of think,.but don't forget..what i mentioned is 100% true...
For the rest just enjoy it..!
Cheers.
