Qatar salary reductions and redundancies 😬

[QRAviator]

Saddened to hear that man. Could I ask how many years have you been here?

[QRAviator]

Sucks. All the best man. Hopefully you will get called back In and we all get to fly.

[QR777X]

Any update?

Does anyone know how many people will be fired?

Will they be having meetings during the weekend too?

[QRAviator]

Uncertainity

There could have been better communication for sure. Sadly that doesn't exist here.

[FlyingAce77]

Lets be realistic” ME3 airlines are famous for No communication” The level of stress families are going through is unimaginable to the Lads sitting in Tower 1,2,3.

[QRAviator]

7 of my friends have been let go in a single day, the fear and shock we all have around us is unimaginable. Especially mpls with 500 hours 100,000 gbp in loan and a worthless license.

[Flapsupbedsdown]

All gone silent here? No news good news.

[Papa_Golf]

We are all holding our breath.

[QRAviator]

All Second Officers are wiped off (except 11 on 320 as of today morning). Total deck crew count- 3874.

Also, as of yesterday a friend had a 787 SO in his batch who was still not laid off yet, just training suspended.

You could have always gone and gotten a job at another airline that hires people with no experience and no qualifications and pays for EVERYTHING.

Oh thats right......

For some people thats not always an option. Passports from third world countries especially. Home countries airlines not that great, no right to work and live in EU etc. and the cadetship was going good until the pandemic, which affected all kinds of pilots.

I think it was directed as a whole.. Doesn't matter if you're from a 3rd world (absolutely abhor that expression) or from 1st world, what Qatar was giving to SO is unheard of if not a national. In some 1st world countries, that is also unimaginable..

Bottom line is, I am shocked at how much pilots believe they are owed by other airlines of other countries on the basis of them being from these so called 1st world countries.. Why not go the normal route of flying as an instructor for however many years it takes to gain enough hours to be given a slight glimpse of a very slim chance of employment..

Agree. It worked out quite well for many years.

Yes it is shocking, but very common unfortunately.

I’m sorry but that route has gone long ago. In Europe at least, you go for the instructor way if you’re unable to get into an airline (talking about established companies not P2F).

Not my opinion. Just stating a fact.

Getting back to the thread I heard of CP slightly over 60 summoned to tower 2.

Which fleet was that?

If redundancies are needed in any company, they need to be done quickly, so that the remaining staff aren't living with the threat of the axe over their heads and can move forward with some certainty. Dragging the process out only causes prolonged misery to everyone.

[Count von Altibar]

So if you're stuck out of Qatar you could be ok from redundancy? That sounds a bit strange the whole process.
