I would not be so quick to judge others really.
Some may not have another shot at working any other place for unfortunate reasons and have a family to feed.
I have flown with some wonderful and extremely competent colleagues that would never be able to find another job somewhere else simply because they carry a passport to a country that is destroyed today. In some cases they have never even lived in these countries, but have been victims of being born with these nationalities.

While I am fortunate and extremely grateful that I am not in that position, I think it says alot about you if you judge others or find them to be "worthless", or "spineless" while you haven't the slightest clue what they are going through.
Instead I choose to feel blessed to be in a better position. For you gents that share that sentiment and feel that sense of superiority, I sincerely hope that life doesn't teach you the hard way that you could also be on the other end of the spectrum.

AAB said in a recent interview that the 25% cut in pay for pilots would be temporary and yet pilots I know there said the letter was a permanent reduction across basic pay, flight pay and allowances!?

Internal Memo dated 4th June 2020 says “Salary Increments will be frozen for a period of 5 years and this will apply to both Qatar Airways and Qatar Executive”

There is no mention of 25% pay cut is temporary! It is permanent” atleast min for 3-5yrs.

AAB likes to play with words” He was giving “warning” to Boeing & Airbus as well & we all know how easily QR backs off from its statements.

This is the part I don't understand, EVERYONE is only there for the money, why would anyone leave Europe to live in the middle east for the same money in the future? Especially as both Qatar and EK have both shown seniority means nothing. They may have no need for crews for the next 3 years with the current oversupply, but who in their right mind would go there once they have better options? Clearly not worth the risk anymore.

It will come down to supply and demand . 3 , 5,10 years? Who knows . There are still 100'sif not 1000's now willing to come for current T & C s . ME managers are drooling ( those that survive ) but for those familiar with the management style of the ME in general you know what I mean . 10 years to get back to pre covid 19 T &Cs is my guess .

What difference does it make to Delete Apps? Once TOPS & GEMS is blocked your staff number is inactive” makes zero sense but would not be surprising from Lads sitting in Tower 1,2,3))

Interesting. I heard in excess of 50 people. Who knows what's going on, I wish they would just communicate better.
