I dont know what country must of you are from, but my stay at QR have been the most miserable of my life and biggest career mistake ever.Management will not back you up in a new york minute, there evil and will judge you without getting both sides of the story. Any disagreement with a Indian will be reported immediatley and punished by the white guys in flight ops. As far as Doha goes no matter how you look at it its disgusting, and those people who say its nice are full of crap, just trying to justify there own misery here in hell. Oh my children love Ain Khaled, or its great for families is also bull. I love the fact that lots of people want to come, please join. Oh did I forget to mention now the normal punishments for mechanics is jailtime, or termination for a tailstrike like the recent one in Cochin, or the hard landing in Rome. Whats next jailtime for pilots who do a over 1.5G landing, or a cabin crew who opens a slide by mistake. Somethings gotta give. but it wont be in my time. Im counting the days before my notice period ends. Bye Bye

about al ahli: last year they did NOT and i say again NOOOT take my Allianz card, maybe they changed now, i did not know, but tks
to mr. krunchy:
as fubaliera said, i guess, you r one of those, digging their nose in somebody else a..., never standing up, taking the lowest deal
and the money as well as the roster is fine only on 330 and 777, on the 320, you work your a.. off, and on the 300, you don't fly
so am not whining, am telling FACTS here
jailtime for the mechanics? yes correct, i knew him, nice pal, was thinking out of the box, got punished for it
reported for any non sense reason? yes, like in a kinder garden
warning letter, just because you do not wear your most precious hat? yes
corrupted rostering system? yes
back up from the office? no, and i got to know this personally
i could not have said it better fubaliera and good luck with your future career
over and out

fubaliera..i totally envy your goodself...this is exactly what everyone who is unhappy should to...resign and find a more happier greener pasture elsewhere...wishing you total happiness and sucess in your future airline..
as for jailtime and corrupt roster practice..cant really comment as nil info at this time...
for reporting practise..yes i totally agree its gone overboard..but cant really do anything about it as it involves different department(cc).
for all..just follow the rules and regulation,sop on flight and go back after work to your family..then everything else would be fine...many have been here for more than 10 yrs with no trouble..now time for my drink again..

Airwjo..indeed good true fact!
Back the the 320 fleet,I think a lot of people here dont realise the situation on 320 fleet,(different airline!!)even worse now (if its still possible..) during the peak summer time!
"Sorry captain..we are short of crew"
Well DO something !!

Good Idea LOC, how about bringing the guys from 330 that have had a 3 in their sim, all this take offs landings and approaches in a short time may hone their skills.
Oh i forgot that the 3 rule is only applicable to DOHA express airways (I meant the 320 fleet)..

Yep, it's a bonus I suppose.
One weeks basic salary based on the old pay-scale with lots of other conditions attached eg DOJ, warning letters etc.
I dont recall if the memo states when we get it though but it does come with a nice attachment from the chief telling us how well we are all doing in these 'difficult times'.

Paper Lad
31 july 2011. its on the ACN..read your ACN properly otherwise you will make widebody upset!
IMHO,AAB has not choice but giving us a Bonus..,not because we are doing well(maybe we do,yes..), not to make us happy....BUT because of one think :the IPO.
The One week bonus,same as last year,(even better than nothing) sounds more "Symbolic" to me .

Well the bonus is really just a hand shake for the good job ... animals belonging to the pilots spices are moneyvores ... never enough till they are fat, damn and happy (the happy part is hidden, especially here in doh)!
9th floor is trying to find an alternate solution for the Delmege Forsyth Tours (Pvt) Limited affair ... needed for future cargo ops expansion (faster and better).

Joining QR
Hi, guys. I was recently approved for A320 Captain. Still on doc's phase and might join in a couple of months. I've heard A320 pilots are finally going to B777. Which is great. But I am still thinking about leaving my country in South America. I would like to know about life as well, about rising up kids and if you guys consider QR as a long term carrier. I mean, if the company will last longer...

Be wary of considering QR as a career move. As someone mentioned, you can get fired for no reason as the Cochin incident shows. You may follow SOPs, and still have a career destroying verdict made against you, guilty or not. That career move you had hoped for in QR may become a career stopper before your probation is over. Then what do you do? Apply for a new job having been fired from QR? The potential new employer will most likely throw away your application in favor of the next candidate who doesn't have a perpetual question mark hanging over his judgment and professionalism, valid or not. We've lost 102 pilots so far this year for various reasons, rostering being the main issue. We have A320 Fleet Managers who don't manage the A320 fleet, allowing rosters with minimum rest between day/night flights. At the same time we have the Fatigue Management System Committee (what a waste of time those meetings must be). Why pay lip service to Fatigue Management, when fatigue issues are so blatantly and thoroughly ignored? Which brings me to my favorite: The Qatar Airways Safety Culture. If ever there was an oxymoron... But on a lighter note, the food is pretty good, salary is ok and the staff travel system is great, seeing how we fly absolutely everywhere.
Fubaliera, well done on moving on. Heading East?
