Great observation immapostthis and remarkably true. QR is a very immature airline that is supported by unlimited funds. Casper ( AB) regards himself as an industry titan who can bully his airline to magnificence. The goat emblem reaches all over the world. The immaturity in how the airline handled this pandemic and the staff will be a case study for the future. Such as pilots and Cabin crew hitting the roster refresh button to see if they been terminated! Great HR policy. Great for crew moral and great for airline safety.

I predict QR salaries will rise significantly when aviation recovers from this debacle - principally because new applicants will view the T&Cs as insulting.

Guys, as a redundant crew, I am still wondering why did they fire 99% of junior crew? What was the main explanation?
As far as I am concerned, almost all Emirates junior cabin crew were sent back home on unpaid leave, and they all started flying six months later.
Thanks.

Fire and re-hire at a lower rate is much easier probably

They really don't need to do it, since they already shown all the expats that the contracts signed by them are worthy and relevant as used toilet paper....

Commitment and professionalism are merely applicable in one way direction at this place.

Heard the news today that between 1,200 to 900 pilots will be recall in the next 2 months, they send approximately 500 emails to 350 and 787 guys.

I hope it's a reality and not an April Fool's joke!

if it’s an April joke, it’s not so funny.
this is approximately the numbers of crew they have made redundant. How come they will rehire them within 2 months knowing that they are locking the country down again. From where you got that source ? Thanks

Considering that they are now advertising 40 flights a week to Saudi Arabia, who is going to fly them?

It makes perfect sense. No regrets, they don't work. It will be interesting to see what happens but only from the outside.

Not funny if it really is a joke.
although if it were to be true, doubt they would
have those numbers ready to go back. A few dozens, at the very least, are definitely not going back

Hopefully not a joke for you folks as on this side of pond the major airlines are talking about new hires soon.

Very good Silver68. I wish you all the best during this rejoining programme.
Do you have any feedback from your colleague or by your self about the terms and conditions for the rejoining programme.
Do they send you a manual to study at home? D
What about all this courses like CRM SEP? are you going to attend the course online or at DOH?
And what about the working conditions? do you recover your id number and same salary (with 25% reduction) or it's lower rate?
Sorry for all that questions :-)

It's a slow process, would not count on new hires for awhile and that does not mean the industry has recovered . You have to look at the global impact. Jobs lost compared to jobs regained overall. EK as an example , only my personal contacts, out of 1500 kicked out @50 have got jobs.
