Silver Spur,

At least in the cabin (although this is the pilots section after at all) it's between keeping or loosing your job!

Incredible to see how most of our QR "brothers in arms" do not even bother to comment on things like Breach of contract, erosion of T/Cs, colleagues in jail, megalomaniacs running FOAM and HR and so on

But the moment the "HAT" issue is touched they all come in action!

IMPRESSIVE!

QR

From all i see on PPRUNE i am now 100% sure i will not accept QA offer.
people in QR i can see are not happy with whats going on last 3 y i have checked all post about QR and i found only 2 % positive comments and its all about money and how Doha is safe place ( which i got to know its not true any more ) .How can a place be safe if you get terminated easy ?
Things i dont like in QA:
1)Purser has more influance then the Capt.
2)CRM is just taken as regulation ( it can make airline really down )
3)Cabin crew can not enter cockpit ( whats that man jail or what )
4)Hat is mandatory but pilots standards are not
5)Need CEO clereance to get command ( he is a pilot or just mad man )
6)No salary or package change for last 3 y
7)Resigantion or jumpshift from airline ( must be somthing wrong )
8)I was told there is a book memo with 145 NOT ALOWED rules
9)Flight/ops management change every 1-2 y (can be reduced up CEO approval )
10)There is no plan as every new CP or CT has his own new plan.
11)In this PPRUNE some Catmate come too much in picture
12)If pilot do a bad sim one time is 2 y no promotion or fleet transfere
13)Only 58 % of cammand upgrade get tru
14)There is intervew for everything ( thats how manipulation is done )
15)Qatari pilots are treated bad why should i as expat expect better ?
16)Ther eis human right issues involved but people scared to talk about it.
Any more resaons let me know plz

what are the chances of your hat flying off and becoming a FOD hazard?...How many cases have we heard so far?
Witnessed an F/O doing a walk round on a 737. "I'll just have a look down the aircon intake .........oops!" There goes hat, sunglasses the lot.

Made I laaarrff. That is until we had to retrieve em.

Although I fully agree that u dont wear ur hat on the walkaround,I honestly dont know what the hell was ur buddy thinking looking INTO the ACM intake.That's a nono taught from day one..!!
However,on a different note,the same could happen even in the wheel wells whilst getting the ACM exhaust,which is exactly why u DO NOT wear ur hat during a walkaround.

Pupy 109,


grow up and make up your own mind! And start by basing yourself on facts and not on a forum which is called rumour network!

QR/EK/EY....all the same. This is the Gulf my friend. One is better with this, the other is better with that!

Do you like the British Commonwealth? Go to EK!

Do you like ze Germans? Go to EY!

Do you like everybody else? Go to QR!


There you have it. The same amount of guidance as what you just put in your last post!

Hope it helps!


And to all you whiners about hats on walkarounds! GET A LIFE!

A very unfair and unwarranted comment. I fly QR a lot as SLF and the whole operation is streets ahead of the local competition and rivals those in my region.

This thread was started as a lighthearted diversion from the usual doom and gloom posts that seem to delight some of the posters. Maybe it is time to shut this particular one down!
