Partly correct but only partly. Not cp but training manager Airbus at EK , resigned frequently and finally had his resignation accepted .
Average performance as a manager but not considered to be unreasonable, resigned from Air Malta , their fleet is tiny . His brother has been made redundant from A380, possibly due to age. Was at QR not sure why he left them possibly to take up the Air Malta position.

WTF! Habibi just told me we have fired around 100 x777 skipers l, and now they are organizing some 787 fleet transfer to 777, like really?
Cost effectiveness?

Sounds like a typical ME company - shooting fast with no brain about the next step
today the step looks good and tomorrow we silently pour money to fix a stupid managers decision

No chance..
they are going to offer a much lower pay scale..
Yet they are still laying off flight crew..
this shows stupidity & lack of vision is paramount in Tower 1 2 3 & Top floor of QROC..

Yup. They still got Boeing pilots doing the last parts of their repatriation process and they ( and I use they as a collective noun for The Goat) start the process of " re-hiring". "New joiners" will be on first year revised pay scale regardless of what position they had prior to being terminated - oh damn its made REDUNDANT- words mean things! Re- join if you need the job but never forget how short sighted they are.
Additionally " they" have been operating under Covid rules and dispenation. Europe turnarounds. China turnarounds. Hong Kong turnarounds. Johannesburg turnarounds. Who in their right mind thinks that flight operations, crewing and planning will revert to pre pandemic FTLs once the world has come right. Dream on if you do.

Is the 100 number correct of the layoffs that happened recently?

Loads of 777 guys being let go at the same time as new hires are coming in. Basically get rid of the people on the old contracts and hire people on half of what the other earned.

Last time I heard, many things are still temporary like the "temporary QROC parking lot". The only new development from the eastern management is the new-new IOC...

Habibi told me only a dozen ish pilots were called back.
It was just a some kind of marketing announcement, "Look at us at Qatar Airways (where all the pilots are slaves and working more than anywhere else), we are re-hiring our pilots"....
During that time, Habibis are happy, Al Bakkar makes pilot flying during March on block time over 145h! It is all under control!

Where is CNN? BBC? Maybe Al Jazeera ?😂

Doha News Picks the Story, People who aren’t familiar with what really is happening inside QR Retweet & Share with Praises of QR etc etc.. A Marketing Ploy” The Dumb & the Dumber!

Doha news is just biased, I countered them on this article on Twitter & have yet to get a response back. They are just trying to portray QR is a Blessing for all the Redundant Employees but the matter of fact is, it’s, just a Marketing gimmick.
