I know for certain that 777 and 787 pilots have been called. I also hear (unconfirmed) that not all invited back have accepted. The ones that have accepted are waiting to see if Qatar tries to screw them over terms and conditions. I understand that there is a general reluctance to accept any offer considered derisory. The 25% reduction currently in effect is the bench mark for most, anything less makes Qatar unviable for many.
For those that return the contract will be challenging to accept. The airline has all flight deck literally by the short and curlies. For those coming back who are non type rated and will be getting a Boeing conversion- be prepared to sell your soul. The Maltese man is just starting.

I’m more curious to know the Consequences of UK Banning QR flights from the 19th March 2021. It’s 56 flights a month which is 8 flights a day for the UK. This seems more layoffs will happen, since the ban is for indefinite period as Previously UAE had been banned by the UK, Oman & Qatar both are on the red list from 19th hence more Airlines will suffer and will staff like us have to brace for more impact.

not banned... just Qatar has been put on the UKs ‘red list’... which means hotel quarantine instead of home quarantine. Also no visitors only Nationals and those with the right to stay.

Apart from Cargo Ops
QR can’t bring in Pax into England, Unless they QR wants to fly empty into England & Bring Back Pax, either way, it’s a big loss for QR & the Ban is Indefinitely.

yes... I’ve seen it... but as I said, the same article confirms UK citizens and residents can still enter... it’s the visitors that are banned. So it’s effectively the same thing as Australia and Nzl... and QR are still operating there. Anyway we can just wait and see after the 19th.

Direct passenger flights (not cargo, technical, humanitarian etc.) are prohibited. QR are showing current booking requests after Thursday routing through Berlin and Munich and transferring to a one world partner (BA). However an allowable entry via one of these (or other) routes still has to declare and comply with the procedures for permitted entrants from a “red list” country.

Reverse direction flights from U.K. to Qatar are still showing non-stop multiple daily availability even after Friday. Presumably the airframes are intended to operate as cargo/technical flights inbound and then normal passenger flights outbound?

Wonder how many ‘influential brown nosing pilots from a certain SE Asia sub continent’ have gotten fired so far. With their ‘connections’ to top Managment I imagine the numbers are relatively low 🙄
