QR BKK Crew Repatriation
How much longer does the crew stuck in Bangkok have to stay there? Surely a caring company would have flown them out by now so they could be home with their families?

You touched a nerve there, Oryx!
I suppose any Thai nationals on the crews (and there are bound to be some) who have family in BKK will perhaps quite like spending some extended time at home, but not under these circumstances!

OB:
I suppose you could explain to me how the caring airline could get the crew out of a city where the international airport is closed ?
bus them to another city maybe ( I'd tell them to get stuffed if they gave me that option) but then they would have to arrange for all the pax to do the same.. or should they lauch a aircraft just for the crew ?
QA has already launched a flight into the military airport of Bangkok to effectively rescue some of the stranded REVENUE passengers, as well as crew to operate of course. keep in mind this is also costing the company loads of money in lost revenue as well as crew expence, as i'm sure there are a few folks on day off down there.

Why can't they send a few airplanes there and pick up the crew and the PASSENGERS? It was reported the Qatar Airways office phone line was dead for several days for the stranded passengers. 5 star service indeed

EK is about to do exactly that for crew stuck in VTBS. A flight to Phuket or Ubon or Rayong just to pick up crew.
So far CX has done 2 trips to VTBU in a 777-300 and flown out all it's crew and staff travellers and any revenue pax that we could fit.
Arranged it all in 1 day.
It's not hard.

I didn't realise we had so many ignorant and selfish pilots here in QR! Other airlines are getting their staff home while ours leaves them to languish there with NO CONTACT with anyone and some of you think that's ok!
And then there's the idiot pilots like a345xxx who's answer to anyone who dares criticize is to leave! Really?

OB,
are you realy that surprised?
Both by the action of QR as well as by the reaction of some of our colleagues here?
C'mon man, you should know better by now!
I am on your side but I gave up on the solidarity principle. It does not exist overhere mate!

Nothing ever improved anywhere, in the long run, by keeping quiet.
Don't you want things to get better in your airline?
Most of us want to improve our situation and our airline and have ideas about how to do that.
Isn't it good if thoose ideas and oppinions come out in the open? I think it is very good.
The first step of changing something is to be aware of the problem, this site gives us that opportunity.
We're all constantly weighing our options on the market, some are leaving and some are staying, all for different reasons.
So please guys, stop this never ending "take it or leave it" nonsense!
We should be thankful for thoose people who dare to speek up, there's to few of them. (Whiners excluded)

I agree with the terminator!!! Well said! Its not that I am 100% happy where I am but show me Utopian Airways and I will be the first to join! Until then I intend to make the best of the job I have, its just sad that QR seems to be the target of some undue criticism. Is it perfect of course not but i am grateful for a job and a nice rating! My homeland didn't give me either!
Will I have a job back home... NO! Well maybe if I want to be a SO and do radio work who knows.
