WOW …!!!
At the very least an accident waiting to happen … very disconcerting indeed.

As expected! Really sorry for the A320 FC & their families... This is a never ending Mess, and no timeline given when will these redundancies stop.

At a dinner a fellow colleague shared every month Balance Sheet is presented to the Chief & with a Loss he passes orders to Layoff employees 200-300 ... This is how layoffs are continuing- atleast according to a colleague.

Even with upper 40% it is a alarming time indeed for Fleet Managers, Flight Safety & QR Management at QR Towers .. They should be worried but they aren’t worried about the imminent disaster - their worries constitute “Marketing” of the Brand..

Sounds really bizarre what's going on at QR, as if there's no defined plan just winging it. Seems like the employees are left hanging not knowing what's coming next which must be highly stressful for all. There'll come a day when they need pilots again and many will be nervous to commit to moving (or moving back) to Doha knowing what's come before with respect to the bad handling of this crisis.

There never was a Plan When layoffs started in March from Technical Department, they were going Watch as you go” & decide.

Absolutely, don't believe what QA or local media is saying.
They fired thousands and rehired few, just to show off.
Typical QA respond to pilots that were willing to come back was "We hope this email finds you well. Thank you for your interest in rejoining,... but NO!"
It will be beautiful watching World Cup 2022 sitting on the couch and sipping beer without QDC license.

I can confirm you, this is only the SIDL Crew that were stuck outside because of border closures, on the other hand, Crew that left on ULV in May are all laid off outstation or in the process of receiving emails and phone calls...

This said, SIDL crew that Is being called back are made to sign New Contract with a Basic of 2800QAR depending on how many years they have been in QR & mostly who were stuck outside are Either CSD, CS, and or F1s..

On the other hand QR is operating with a Min Crew, like on a recent flight to a European Country there were 200 Y Class Pax and only 3 Cabin Crew- it was Hell for those poor souls” literally working like slaves at FL340.

Habibti says that 200 FD Crew were in the Separation department today” Most were from A320 Fleet... More over, She even saw Cabin Crew Literally Begging to get their EOSB so that they can leave... Sad sad sad times
QR will have to pay for all this Mismanagement and in-justice that the employees have to go through- The depression, Stress, Emotional Breakdowns...

Does QR have any flight crew left? It seems a constant stream of sackings.

How will they pay ? They don't care ! Cut from the same cloth as EK . Pick and choose when recall happens and the next wave of newbies line up .

Yeah! What type and how many doors were manned? Sounds like BS to me purely from a regulatory POV!
