The airlines are doing a bigger damage than you think because for those being made redundant in mid fifties onwards, not only is your flying cut short but also bringing your flying career to an abrupt end. Many did not see this coming but unfortunate it will be very difficult to get job at this age but also many will have not kept their licenses current back home. COVID recovery when it happens might be too late for some.
i think it’s prudent to think of a career change now while Many have financial stability and savings to tie over don’t think the airlines will ever care for the pilot accept as fodder. .. they don’t Care about you period !!
For many the loss of the job this summer has not quite sunk in yet or it they still in denial that it actually has happened. I think the need to prioritise now is vital and immediate, get your end of service benefit first, Then get out of this expensive place, the lines back home are getting longer.

There are a number of unions for other industries as well in Bahrain and Oman.

1x per year we had a free ticket home for the family
Most US airlines charge almost nothing for staff travel

Also noted They terminate Alkoot insurance on your departure from Qatar ...Most of the insurance back home needs 90 days grace period so I don't have any insurance in my home country. Instead of making sure they care about staff's health during these times they just kick you out of Qatar with no health insurance.

In the Spanish whatsup group someone wrote: one of the suspended pilots was upset with the company and grounded an aircraft, don’t know if true but hilarious! Anyone heard the same?

Have the redundancies stopped for now or are they still happening? For the pilots who remain employed at QR it can't be a safe feeling if they're still ongoing without any kind of structure or published plan.

Well he’s a notorious a$$ ri$$er for AAB. And all that only to secure his own position in this pathetic excuse of a company 🙄

Doubt so, with this pandemic, Airlines worldwide will have their pick at their discretion when time comes to do so. Thousands will line up for the rejoining, no hard feelings, and if there is, move aside and cry on your own while many will simply keep moving on.
