If what you said based on a solid info, remember that:
So hope what ever is coming would be step forward
is it true DCPT 320 going with B.W and I.M, rumor is around for a while now

330man - I wasn't being sarcastic, just helpful... I know English isn't everyone's first language so I try and guide people to the correct words... In the case of 'moral' and 'morale' there is a big difference in meaning.......
And no I don't speak Dutch

Thanks for clearing the point of mistaken sarcasm, I am happy to be corrected, as you saw I amended the word and gave you the credit
By the way, what I wrote in Dutch was the translation of what I wrote in English, so no offense at all there.
Have safe landings

morale's boosting
Just something I need an answer for:
1- when was the last time you guys on A330 recall handing/ taking over flights in KIX to/from an Indian crew.
2-How come KIX - DOH flights block time 11hr20min while flight time around 12 hrs.
Thanks and safe flying.

Not just the KIX flights, but quite a few others too. Easy answer; we get paid by schedule block time. The only answer is too fly at a speed that will get you to destination on time, therefore sticking to the block time you are paid for. Don't divert (take extra fuel instead) because you will not get paid for the diversion flight time. It's simple, they play games, then so do we.
Most sensible Airlines build in sufficient block time to allow for delays in taxiing, wx avoidance etc. QA think they are smart with the 'on time departure performance' but PAX are really only interested in the arrival time. That's the time they told thier Husbands, Wives, taxi driver etc to pick them up. We leave 'on time' but then get there 30 minutes late because of badly planned block times. Re-arrange this well known phrase or saying; "Foot shoot the Airways themselves again in Qatar"

Wishful thinking? They appear to be dug in and word is PM knew how to cover his tracks in his previous employment? So perhaps he'll blame RP for next month's mess? After all, he couldn't get it out without his help despite the fact he doesn't work there anymore. And watch this space for more cronies joining, this time in safety! Word is that DR is to be overlooked for the boss position there by one of BW's cronies.

Hey, this could end up to be fun after all!
Just a little bit longer and we will see the Nigels throwing their cheese boards at each other in stead of at us!
History has shown whenever the Britons gained any power, they eventually self-destructed due to the evil-powers of greed and selfishness!
Unfortunatle by then it will be too late for QR and many of us!
I hope RD will fight for his rights and if he would be by-passed, maybe it is time to air QR's dirty laundry than from the safety cover-up department!
I know he tried to do his best, but was many times over-ruled by the management asking him NOT to publish certain issues! The where too afraid someone else (i.e the CEO) might read their major **** ups!

You are not helpless
Dear All,
Seems a lot of you do have the right ideas but in my opinion use the wrong forum to make them public.
If you think the CEO does not know - why don't you send the hard, proveable facts in written to him (You do not have to mention your personal details). Still you could inform the pprune comunity about your activities and the maybe results.
It is easy to critisize from behind a cover. Go ahead show your talents and take over responsibility - at least that makes you a new target in pprune of those who critsize everything.
Little things can be done right away, i.e if you get one of those very special OFP's where the flight time is longer than the block time why do you accept them? Don't bring every thing down to payment or non-payment or bad people in management.
First clean your own house and than point a finger to other ones - means use the legal options you have to improve flight operations.
If you don't claim and exercise your given rights you should not be surprised if they will be stripped off you one by one.

Haywood,
I think the CEO is no. 1 reader of pprune, he is fully aware of what is going on.
I don't know if he writes here at all! but definitely reading all comments about QA.
I guess it is the main reason that make some pilots write here -hoping to draw his attention to problems within the house.

MR HAYWOOD., just for your info;
Let me remind you one of the first sentence i heard from Mr AAB during the first pilot meeting when i joined the company:
He said clearly:
"I don't Want anybody to come to my office to tell me what i have to do in this company...!"
So i understood that the CEO is not really open to any critics or remarks regarding "his" company.

Haywood,
congrats mate! It only took you 6 posts to figure out the key to QRs secret! Some people are in here many years and havent got a clue so far!
Can you see now why we have to use anonymous forums like this one to spread the message?

Tomuchwork, oh you got us so exposed, so I will admit that we are working for the best airline in the region.
EK and EY pilots are resigning by the hundreds, waiting to join QA, and we are trying to scare them off so we can climb the ladder of QA!!
But you missed an important point, to improve our position –in any airlines- we need many new joiners to push us forward, if we scare them off, we will just stagnate and work harder (if that is even possible).
I believe you got it wrong.
To prove you wrong...I will stop writing here for few months, I will just observe and see how it will develop till I leave.
Good Bye.
