17 % plus the 3 % increment goes up to 10 years instead of 5 years.
School allowance up from 50,000 to 70,000 for 2 kids. 105,000 for three kids or more.

Thanks Chief

Basic salary up by 17%? Increase in flight hours pay as well?

School allowance sounds a winner.

Correct me if I am wrong but as far as I know, pension schemes or retirement policies generally is a benefit provided by the government or employer after some sort of deduction occurs from your salary every month. Usually in the form of tax or a provident/trust fund. Since non of these happen in QR, I don't think we have the right to demand a pension plan. What we do require is a salary increase to attract pilots over our regional competitors. After checking my e-mail, I would say that a 20% increase is pretty darn good. Probably makes us the highest pay masters between us, EY and EK.

Wannabejet,

Heard a rumor today that QR approved a 20% pay increase across the board... what do you make of that?

Cheers,

Not too sure what the other departments got, but for the pilots it's been around a 20% increase in basic salary and up to a 110% increase in school allowance. I think it's a pretty good deal. And the increase and gratuity does not apply to anyone who have already submitted their resignation. A bit of a slap in the face!

Regards,

wjp

Does all this apply to new joiners as well (i.e will it be reflected on the new contracts) or it is in the form of a payrise for existing employees having completed x amount of time in QR?

In any case, enjoy them the best you can guys

Well, I guess we have to see if the Benefits section of the QR careers webpage is changed accordingly

Funny how the usual suspects on this forum who are so quick to jump on the negatives, have stayed quiet regarding the positive news we have had from the company about the new renumeration package....Thank you and it is greatly appreciated!

Very good news

Thats a very good news indeed! its highly appreciated!

Basicly the more senior you are the more you benefit from this package with the 10level pay steps (10 years being the top scale)!

Captains Entry level basic pay QAR 31 000 Top of scale QAR 40 460
Senior FOs (5levels) QAR 24 200 top being QAR 27 240
FOs (5levels) QAR 21 500 and top QAR 24 190
(Becoming A senior FO takes 3 years after final release)
Flight pay and other benefits remain unchanged QAR 120 for Captains and QAR 90 for FOs. Housing QAR 12 000 for capt 10 000 for FOs.
QAR 1500 Transport.
Trainers are getting a better package.
Schools fees going up as mentioned above.
Furniture allowance is withdrawn, it used to be 900 for Captains and 700 for FOs.
and finally a better process for annual leave tickets issuance.

Enjoy guys,

I have a question for you


When does a First Officer go to pay scale 2, is it 12 months to the day after joining or 12 months to the day after line check ? or something else. I spent months waiting for training and could mean me getting pay scale 2 is delayed a lot longer than the 12 months I have been here.


Also, when going from First Officer to Senior First Officer, does he/she go to pay scale 1 on the Senior First Officer pay scale or direct across pay scale 3 ? as he has already been here 3 years. I think it would be a good idea and incentive to stay if he went direct across to pay scale 3 ?


Also, if you have been here 5 years and get command, would you go to pay scale 5 Captains rate. If this was the case, I would be vey happy chappy and have no reason to want to look elsewhere. I like the job, the fleet I am on I am happy with 320 and 99% of the Captains I fly with are top blokes. Doha itself, I can live with it and think of far worst places to be.


Anybody able to shed any light on this.

BTW, don't forget to fill in your fleet transfer form and send back in before the end of June guys if you want a fleet transfer or command.

You guys should make more than anyone in the Gulf.... who wants to live in Doha and fly for Qatar? Stops the bleeding and droves leaving at least.

Devil

I'am not an usual complainer here, but I'am not so excited with this new package...It won't compensate the lost from the last years... better than nothing of course.

And it's wrote on the memo..."it's not for you drivers, it's to be competitive

Do you guys really think it's gonna stop the leak...I don't think so!

Exclamation Half Bread is Better than None

If you bother to do the "maths" properly and take the "package" in its entirety, it is definately "NOT THE BEST IN THE GULF" as is being boldly trumpeted on this forum.
Anyway, it is better than nothing. And yes, it will not stem the loss of people who want to leave. The lack of respect, abitrary way in which people are treated, utter contempt, and disregard for proper norms are not things that any amount of money can gloss over.
To each his own, QR will continue to be playing catch up to the other majors in the region and beyond. And only a drastic total cultural and corporate change will make a difference..
Alas, that will not happen, at least not in this lifetime....
