Showel,
Agreed, I've seen how they treat expats, and truth be told that's just the way it works in this region.
The bus guys will be okay, they will downsize, but firing airbus captains or FO's is not likely what will happen as they will be short anyway.
However the embraer guys, not too sure.
Hoping for the best for all regardless.
They shouldn't have any trouble findin a job at QR.
Like it or not, it's better than no job.
For the record, I personally like it.

Saw that happening. What do u expect from an airline whose's offices are filled to the brim with incompetent managers. Starting from DFO
who has nothing better to do than issuing threatening letters ( Immediate Compliance). Why is he in such a position. Many issues aside, none of them have the guts to negotiate or at least question the CEO's decisions. Whatever the CEO said, they all followed blindly and whilst amongst themselves, disagreed. All for the sake of retaining their comfy seats and fat wallets fatter. What a disgrace to the word " Managers" . 
And honestly, are we so astonished to see such a result in GF? Certainly Not.

Guys to question the CEO is not an issue of guts. To question the CEO it's an issue of being knowledgable, competent, to be able to reason and than argue with what comes out of the CEO mouth and many other things that you all know they are not capable of dealing with (that includes me of course). And you know why? Because we are ONLY pilots. WTF do we know?

Maybe brassplate isn't the only one who is SAD after all. The whole situation is SAD. The plan is SAD. The whole airline is SAD. He does have a point if he is an expat. He may well be out of a job like me and many others.

This poor planning is creating people big troubles!!!
I left my job and now I am out of work because of them....It is not acceptable and they should pay for this.
How should I feed my family now???

noise of freedom
I feel for you and your situation. That happened to some colleagues of mine a while back and they pleaded with the CP of their previous employer to rescind their resignation... it worked for them.
Good luck.

You guys should get together and sue those "incopetent basterds"
If succesful you would probably not get paid more than the basic salary for the notice period as stated in the contract.
Agreed that the managers should pay big for their negligence and incompentence, however legaly I don't think you stand a chance in this part of the world or anywhere else for that matter.
The best of luck to all!
