Dear Capt. Krunch,

Point taken; although I think that those types tend to be a smaller percentage on QR flights than you noted. Customer satisfaction and word of mouth can go a long way.

The real position I was trying to get at is the complete and utter disreguard for the overall employee groups as long term assets. Would profitability not be better served with a stable happy employee?

You are so correct that proper management of your most valueable investment "people" will never be realized by the short sighted powers in the region.

Post script; you where my favorite breakfast cereal as a kid

CEO

Removing AAB from welcome page on in flight magazine has a big impact on small man EGO . We all know how much he love to talk on interviews
things like " my airline " or " my airplanes " and how much he love to be in a picture all over TV or newspapers and now he is gone from " his airline in flight magazine " .

O big stress for Mr AAB a lot of problems coming for poor guy !

AAB has removed himself from the inflight magazine, he was not ordered or requested to do so.
I am no great fan of the man or his methods but there is no need to BS about this issue.

Strangeways.... how well do you know this man!!! Its right he has built the company, worked long hours ... but this have been putting terror into his staff who are scared they will not have a job if he gets out of bed the wrong side.. A man who lays down rules that micro manage his staff and their freedom outside work...

This is just the first step in others taking a leading role in QR, i wonder if his rob will be Qatarised.. lets hope so.

I hear that the CAA will take back control of NDIA as soon as it opens, as its a conflict of interest being an airport operator and the main airline. He has upset too many people and companies, if i am not wrong BA uplifts its supplies in Bahrain, I wonder why not in DOH!!

Lets just wait and see what he looses control of next..

QR negative selection

Fact is in aviation sometimes lickers get the best positions in Airlines, QR is perfect example of it .

Look at who is on which positions and you will know what i am talking about .

CEO- Standard behaivere for mental case

AJ - Never say NO thats the way to go

CC- close eyes when you dont want to see and make others do dirty work

R.N- Put on shirt "i am from UK" and report previous mananger to CEO

N.A.S -It is CEO not me and send me an Email please

B.M - No need to talk about him we wll know it lol lol ( 3 days off ) ha ha

K.V - based his upgrades and career on reporting Captains and being close
to every chief pilot or chief training as they changed ( except S.S )

R.C- step on friends back for extra fuel in order to get an parking
in front of Tech building so he dont need to sweet walking .

S.D- Report on behalf of K.C and chop ride on CEO command all to be
something and become someone who is ignored by 99% of pilots

K.P- doing free job for flight ops only to get position since he can not get
any job elswhere due to Anset famues issue .

All this people i have mentioned has done bad things to Airline and to others in order to climb to their positions .

EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY l

Devil Low level bashing.....(Continued)

QR United, your list is a bit incomplete/outdated!

You forgot the following people:

M.A.S: daddy’s boy that has been feeding of his dad’s reputation in Syria, using his diplomatic connections to get into the office. His incompetence is notorious but he is probably safer sitting behind a desk, as his flying skills suck big time!

I.W.: Personally responsible for the illegal sacking of 49 CX pilots and famous for his Seattle B777 acrobatics flight, managed to force his way into management by backstabbing colleagues and chatting up the big boss. Thinks he can change the world by waving the union jack, again!

K.F.: Desperately trying to be one of the guys and in doing so screwed over many fellow pilots while on his way up. Don’t put him under any stress or he cracks, literally! Needed to be MFF qualified so he can feel appreciated in the FTM bunker.

M.H: ass-licker who does not know what its all about. Pretends to know everything but is counting on an army of slaves to constantly help him out. Smokes shisha one day with his Arabic friends (pretending to be one of them) and will be seen at parties the next, proclaiming how stupid the shisha smoking crowd is.

P.J: Has been in and out many of the previous managements. Cuts corners wherever he can, hereby pushing the entire B777 fleet into illegality.

K.H: Ex CX A-scaler, thinks he knows something about safety. He does this by imposing useless rules on the pilot community and hides behind his desk anytime the flack is incoming. Is part of the CX mafia taking over the corridor,

S.S: The Indian snake. Was fired for trying to create an Indian Boys club in flight ops management. Just as his predecessor, L.M, he just could not stay away from corruption. Is laying low now but you can all expect him to be back with vengeance shortly! A330/340 (non Indian) instructors better start looking for safer pasture.

H.E: The human factors softy got his position by making A.Q feel good; hereby he actively killed the CRM career of several other colleagues. Bends the rules, manipulates the schedule and is a constant liar.

Do we have them all now? Happy?

Some people do not deserve to be on your list at least 3 of them

Anyhow it is a PPRUNE you have right to say what you want .

If i have to decide under who i want to work your list or mine . hmmm it is not hard to guess what will most of people take :

If you take BM, KC, SD , KV , AQ , CEO ,CR , you can see how low level aviation dignity we are talking about


Is it true BM is soon out and his PWR is on idle ?

Well who play with magic get a magic .

SD is he still entertaining Mrs HR Moroccan "W" ?

In Morocco they also use magic watch over mate it is not Romania !

KC he must be sad when AQ is out now he can not put all blame on AQ .

HE - yes you are right that guy with his nice UK english run invisable department of CRM which can not be conducted with cabin crew lol lol

Thumbs down Right of answer!

Dear All, and especially United and Finger,


It is with disgust that I have been reading your posts, and especially the last two ones. Hiding behind a fake name while clearly trying to inflict personal damage to people that are hard working colleagues and pilots, probably like you, is an absolute dishonorable act!
In fact, it does not make you any different than the facts you yourselves accuse your management team of!

So therefore I thought it was time to, for once, change this rumor network to a facts network. Let me point out to you that I do this on a personal initiative and that the company we all work for has NOTHING to do with these posts of mine!

As I do not believe facts can be revealed under the umbrella of fake names, I have chosen to step out of the anonymity (so well known and abused here on PPrune). So here I am. Although I have a pretty good idea of who you are, that does not matter at all so please go ahead and continue to use your beloved usernames.

Many of the management pilots you accused here have worked, and still continue to do so, really hard to get their jobs done. Often they have to fight against strict deadlines, changing company requirements, etc…all as a result of the massive expansion plans you all are benefitting from. (Or did you think joining as DEC B777 is a normal career move? Moving from right to left on A330/B777 is a normal career move?).

So they (and me as well) do their jobs the best they can, believe me, many times this is done on personal time and initiative. I agree, this is not always done perfectly (a management pilot remains a human being) and most probably many of you had situations where you did not agree, but overall they do continue to deliver. Those of you that have been here long enough surely must admit that this company has come a very long way.(remember 2002 with 1 A330, 6 A300s and I believe 12 A320's)

Pilots will be pilots and one of the characteristics of our psychological profile is that we always think we are correct. And by we I mean pilots in general. So many of you have very strong opinions about the way your department is being managed, although in most cases you do not even have 25% of the actual facts to base that opinion on. That’s fine; pilots are human beings as well.
But that does NOT give you the right to vent your frustrations on a public forum and to go and accuse fellow pilots of the craziest things, all based on rumors! The fact that you tried to act smart by only using two letters of a name does not change this at all. Everyone reading this knows exactly whom you are talking about…

So to prove that you are frauds anyway, I am willing to engage in the following challenge.

You accused me of:

K.V - based his upgrades and career on reporting Captains and being close to every chief pilot or chief training as they changed (except S.S)

Mmmhhh, interesting. It took me almost 5 years to get my command, which is more than what most FO’s have to go through nowadays. I was upgraded on an A320 while the groups before me, aswell as a while after me, where given the chance to stay on the A330.
I joined A320 type rated and I only received an A330 rating after 2 years.
So all in all a very normal and average career progress.

But still you claim that I reported colleagues to get my upgrade and to follow this career path? I am sincerely wondering then what all those pilots have been doing, receiving 4 type ratings in 4 years and being given a command upgrade on A330/B777.

Anyway:

Challenge: Give me (us) one (1) name of a pilot I reported in all my years flying. Only one! Send it to my PM or post it here. You will not be able to find one single name! (Facts plse, not rumors)

The second part of the accusation is even more ridiculous. I am being accused of being close to every CP or CPT as they changed (except S.S.). OK.
Where exactly is the problem here? I have been here a long time and many of these people did become personal friends over the years. I have been active as a ground instructor since 2004 so yes, I do/did have a close working relationship with training management.
Is this a crime?

(The except S.S. I find extremely interesting as a) not true b) nice direction finder)

But yet you dare to use this accusation to point out that working with me would be proof of having “low aviation dignity”.

I can only talk for myself and that is why I personally chose to step out into the open, but I can assure you that I would instantly stick my hands into a burning fire for most of my fellow management pilots. And they could give you challenges like this one, all of which you would probably loose!

So please, unless you can factually prove me wrong, get your facts straight and think before you start talking.

And if you do feel so strongly about these points, have the guts to come and tell me (us) straight in our face, just like Alcatraz69 said. If you are correct, I will listen and try to change it, if you are wrong I will give you the facts why you are wrong. You all know where I live…the door is open! And I am sure this is valid for most of my colleagues.

But don’t be the coward you have been until now, spreading rumors on an anonymous network. Rumors that can inflict damage on a person, on a company and on yourself and that are only based on self invented drivel!


I am looking forward to the replies.
