“New details coming in are that “Redundant crew will be hired with 25% reduced salary” and Warning letters & Caution Letters given prior to March 2020 won’t be hired. Pick & Choose.”

I’ve heard before that this is not true, the warnings or caution letters. There’s people flying right now with those ( very serious stuff) so, what’s the difference between those letters given before March 2020 and the ones after?
Maybe because those warning letters or caution letters after march 2020 are the ones of those pilots who were able to stay in the company because they had a friend in the office ..so it doesn’t count?There are people that failed sims that were not made redundant because they knew somebody in the office and are flying right now.

Some pilots were made redundant because they were on a “ blacklist” what the hell is that ?? Some local didn’t like the way they talk to them or some office dude reported them?

Who makes this black list?who decides which names go there, which “criteria” is taken to put somebody on that list ?

it’s also interesting how some nationalities are less affected when it comes to redundancy

25% off?

Can anyone confirm if the rejoining cabin crew (not those on SIDL or stuck unpaid) got 25% less on the contract like the flight deck?

The QR 777 pilots who flew into the teeth of the unknown virus in March, April, May and June 2020, without actually knowing if they were going to survive (I know it sounds silly now, but in those days people in Italy and Spain were dying in their thousands) -

Those same pilots who were made to fly 23hr FDPs to China and back without a by-your-leave;

Those same pilots who carried the entire company by flying ever-changing, insane rosters whilst other pilots from other fleets were staying safe at home or were locked out (no fault to them);

Those same pilots who were doing the above on temporary half pay, then permanent 60% pay (including flight time cuts);

Their leave was cancelled, and leave was assigned to them instead, and then they were forced to work on leave days, under constant threat of random termination;

Those pilots were (and still are) spending layovers locked in hotel rooms, being threatened with termination if they don't use RETI, being thrown little 'healthy' meals instead of proper food. Their rosters continue to be published late, and continue to be unstable.

Those pilots, some of whom flew well over 1300 flight hrs in the year on the employer's perverted hours factoring scheme;

Those pilots have now just been cheated out of their overtime pay.

Hi,

The 350 pilots are allowed to fly the 330. An email received by management.

Some of them who flew under those conditions until August were then terminated without a tangible reason except redundancy and have not yet been recalled.

Imagine...

Hi guys,

Does anyone knows if it is easy to get a licence verification letter from the QCAA?
My CAA is currently requesting that letter to renew my licence. Does anyone of you got that experience recently?

I've been trying to reach them by mail but they never replied back. But I know for that kind of request, the CAA's have a channel of communication so it should be fine I guess.

Thanks

Which fleets? Any movement fleet wise, waiting to rejoin with my family. Hearing guys moving from 320 to 787, hopefully make room for some of us.

Is Qatar hiring again? are they flying all destinations freely? over here in Australia we are being locked up like hens over on covid case. Our country thinks they can eradicate C-19.
