[ITO]

Resignation for me was a very straight forward and easy procedure. I had spent 3 years as a CC with the company. Notifification was 1 month for us, It took me only 15 days to leave the company in a very normal way. They informed me however that due to the fact that I am not informing them 1 month prior, I would be losing some of my service pack money, which I was aware of and accepted. So,

1. I informed them.
2. They gave me a check list of departements that I had to go to, get signed off (give back uniforms, token, ID, Manuals...etc)
3. Paid and gave back my credit card in the very same day. However the bank holded 3000QR on my account for credit card things ( which now I don't remember ) and gave it back to me 1 month later. This means that my saving account was still OPS 1 month after resignation. And 1 month after, they gave me back the 3000QR which I withdrawed from an ATM.
4. got all RP...etc canceled normally.
5. got my cheque from QR finance. And I remember that we were 3 guys in the office including one 320 FO waiting for the papers.
6. Gave back my "Visitor" I.D and walked out of QR tower, hoping that one day I will come back to rework with them as a pilot. Didn't happen yet !
6. Left Doha on an ID90 after asking the company if it was possible and there answer was yes, and in fact it was ( at least that time ) since I did it. Also, I left to a total different place to the one I came from initially.

And this is not a rumour or anything else except my own case.

Cheerio !

But what is the problem if leaving the country with a valid resident permit ?
I mean if you are going "on vacation" abroad with your family ... and don't come back as expected .

[ITO]

Well, then that means you jumpshiped ! Hundreds of people already did it with QR

[loc22550]

good one ITO!

[Jumbito]

Hi everybody,

By any chance does anybody know if the 3 months notice period can be reduced? Let's say a company calls you to start in one month time and you want to leave QR in a good way, is there a penalty or where can I find the proper info?

Many thanks in advance and regards

[Liftdumper]

So people are leaving. Question is: where are they going??

[Jumbito]

So this "negotiation" is written anywhere or it's all about making a deal with the company? Who should be the right person to talk about this at the office?

Many thanks in advance once again

[loc22550]

You can probably try to negociate to leave before 3 months but it will not be for "free" for sure.. ,lets say after one month, but in that case i guess they will deduct 2 months of your salary from the end of service benefit or something like that..

[Capt Krunch]

loc22550 is mostly correct, but to be clear, the deduction will be 2 months of your basic salary. That would mean you would should have been here for more than nearly 3 years, as you only receive 3 weeks of your basic salary for every years served after final line check as a end of service benefit, (for the first 5 years then it extends to 4 weeks). if your service does not equal that amount, the rest would/could be out of pocket.

UAE residents visas are automatically canceled if the holder "resides outside the UAE for 6 months". No idea about Qatar, though.

used car salesmen

I was an ATC in Qatar and have a bad leaving story for your reference.I worked there for 6 years. At DEP minus 1 year they finally gave me a contract with the end of service bonus included as per the labor laws. They got me to sign and said they would give me a copy when the chairman had signed. That copy never appeared despite numerous requests. When I resigned I was called to the Vice Chairman's office and told they couldn't find my contract so there was no bonus but......if I stayed and signed a new contract [ which he had on the table] then the bonus would be payable. I explained I had signed a contract in Aussie and would be leaving. Which I did.
My guess.....the locals split up the 140k QR between them.
They are as slippery as used car salesmen.
PS and if you take court action you can't get the exit permit. They have you screwed.

[loc22550]

A pumps ..as long as you don't see it with your eyes,its nothing but a rumour and it will remain a rumour till the next rumour appears..and so and so..(same for salary increase..)
If 8 F/Os resign on 777(wich is not the worst fleet)..i can't imagine the figure for the 320 fleet...!!

Generally true - but my stepson was out of UAE for about nine months studying and immigration were happy to let him back into UAE on residence visa with no problems

Expect a few more to leave for Thomas Cook / BA / Virgin / BA City Flyer / Jet 2 who have all or are actively recruiting experienced guys

Anyone can publish a copy of the Qatar Leaving policy list of things to do / get signed.

Also do Qatar block your bank account until you pay off your bond?

QR

You are lucky mate .

The most efficient department in QR is located on 3 floor and it has an unick name " RESIGNATION & TERMINATION " department .
This is only one of this kinda in the globe and the fastest one in QR they can pack you in 24 h time if they are instructed so .

So leaving QR no prob mate with or without bond we had many people leaving without clearing bond and others with paying it both went home abd there was no difference at all unless you want to reaply for QR one day again .

[Airbus_a321]

...stop dreaming...for shure no one will reaply again

[DZPILOT87]

Guys !

Is it true that QR pilots get/got fired after drinking Evian Water ?

That what i heard from a cabin crew recently .... Unbelievable !!

[Ronaldo 330]

EVIAN

Yup very true !

Capt was in QR for 13 or 14 y and had to leave QR over EVIAN water .

We were getting EVIAN water every day on begining of the flight .

One day Cabin crew CS/CSD's had a meeting with CEO where he told them that pilots are just a cheap drivers and they drink water from a tap in their bathrooms and they should not give us EVIAN coz its expencive ..... and a lot of other b......

Few days after an CSD on A330 instead usually given EVIAN she brought to flight deck Al Rayan water and Captain ask her to bring EVIAN water on what she reply "CEO told us not to give flight deck EVAIN " Captain say there is no ACN about it and told her to bring him EVIAN water anyhow .

After that the standard procedure in QR an CSD write report against Captain for disobayed her order ( in QR CSD has more PWR then a Capt)
and Captain was called to CEO office and told he has to resign or he will be termenated fro not following CSD instructions . And if he is terminated he will never get his 14 y gratuity money .

Capt resigned and went home !

This is one of many reasons why Captains are terminated or forced to resign . Contract in QR is worth like a toilet paper .

licence to be returned upon leaving

one of the things that appears on the list of things to be completed on leaving and before your exit permit is issued is:


hand over your QCAA pilots licence


thought the licence was earned and was the property of the pilot / QCAA and especially as the pilot has to pay for the renewal of medicals (not initial) it should remain their property ???
