I believe that More Heads will be chopped be it In Doha or those who are stuck outside, why? Because I know someone who wanted to resign and was stuck outside and was told that You first need to come back in and then resign” He is a FD” and CC is still being laid off, most recent layoffs happened just couple of days ago, F2s in the country and flying were laid off - Dozen that is...
more tough times ahead..

I believe you’re right. However, the pilots in my compound freely admit to not knowing anything more than the next person. This isn’t over until it’s over. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed we don’t get the call. As for the pilots who are stranded, some of which took unpaid leave at the company's request, are no more, no less in the cross hairs.

Serious times and although QR seem to be responding much better than many airlines I guess the chopping will continue as the company reacts to the developing crisis. I'll bet there's a lot of pilots having sleepless nights wondering if they're next, can't be good for anyone's health nor flight safety. What a pity there isn't any transparency to the process, at least people could plan accordingly.

This round is about Captain and they have already redundant more than 200 senior captain.
Imagine you fly back to doha after your duty and then they wipe your schedule for the rest the months . They are trying to terminate captain with higher seniority since they are getting more money that younger captains.
in other countries if they are trying to ask senior pilot to voluntary quit it's because they have retirement scheme .
In Qatar airways they should at least let senior flight crew to work because they can reduce their salary.

Does anyone know if we can sue Qatar Airways?
I was flying more than 90 hours per months during FEB -August and still they force us to use all of our vacations so basically 15 days off being prison in doha and then 15 days of intense flying and then right after maxing out our hours for the following month they terminated us.
They forced us to work in dangerous situation and lay over in hotels that we might get Corona and then once they used all of out vacation times they terminated people.
I think there should be a way to sue and make this public to the world

Does anyone know once they terminate your contract , Would you still get housing allowance for three months notice period ? or you have to move back to company accommodation?
imagine you have one year lease contract and they terminate you in the middle of the month .
Thanks,
