My stupidity?

First of all, lets put things in order. Where is "safety first"?
Oman Air as a company should had know from the very beginning that either a pilot or a crew on noticed period, is not a safety person. You don't know how a pilot or cabin crew can react on a flight, knowing that he/she was terminated and that could be his/her last flight for who knows for how long. Let me remind you that many of your colleagues are having depression during this time. So no, my friend, is not stupidity, is call reality.

And second, as far as I know, there are no have been layovers for so long at least on the 737.

So I recommend you to put your things in order and go to pack your bags, as many of us are doing. You're done in WY, don't try to get your "last consolation flight".

Ciao!

None small box brother, it seems like it is you the one hanging on a date palm. I got rostered for a flight at end of the month and I haven't been in the office asking for ****. So, I don't know where you get the info, but maybe you have to check your sources. So, yah, expats were schedule but apparently right know there are new directives. It is funny to see pilots asking for swaps...gosh, they get 2 flights a month and don't want to do it..."God gives bread to those who have no teeth". MASHALLAH!!!!!

Are you sure that you are checking the nationality of these pilots accordingly ?

What do you mean? I don’t know who are they, just know what I read. It’s easy distinguishable who is local and who is expat.

Im sorry, I will try to be more clear so even you can understand it.

The expats are not refusing any flight whatsoever, why? two reasons,
1.they need the money ( because they were kicked out without any warning)
2.they need flight recency (for future airline applications)

SO , when you are mentioning," lazy pilots who refuse to do two flights per month" I am pretty sure you could understand which nationality are we talking about, and as a friendly reminder you should be careful when talking about them. They have a beautiful tendency to back stab you when you say things like that( even tough is the brutal truth )

I think that the moderators should think about closing this thread, it is becoming pointless and acerbic! Yes, I worked in Oman for many years (not WY) but have a love for the country and hold 99% of Omanis in high regard! Let common sense prevail!

Fre

Isn't it a bit like freedom of speech?

Just depends if you are on the receiving end or not?

Better to close the thread is his opinion, yours not so long ago was, the voice of a hurt individual. Very understandable with all that's happening. Talking about true colors showing up during this pandemic is unfortunately, both ways.
Tragic and sad for all. We are all humans after all, but in your voice or should I say views is, you are superior to pilots from this part of the world. Your strong views of never to fly again on WY due to safety deteriorating at an immense pace(according to you), is just the result of the dire pandemic's resultant furloughs.

There's no need to laboriously drone on and on about how Oman and the rest of the world opting to remove expat work force and save their nationals is a tragedy to civilization, cultural and economical progress.

Grab a cold one and plan your future instead of these daily update on your findings on WY.

It's done. Get it?

Wink Time will tell

BOEMBUS,

is just the result of the dire pandemic's resultant furloughs.
Unfortunately this thread started as a tip on the 3rd wave of terminations in Oman Air, not furloughs, this a not a furlough situation in which any individual might have recall rights, so let's just get that straight.

When it comes to the nagging matters, the amount of possible nagging some expat pilots can write on this site about lack of knowledge from the local guys, or as you mentioned before, the lack of communication skills from some expat pilots, could simply go on and on without anything interesting for the people outside to read about WY.
As someone previously mentioned a few days ago, most people in this country has simply been great, and this is what we should all take when we go back to our little villages. Hopefully you guys and the chaps that were let go from EY/EK/QR bring some ideas that would benefit WY. Wink

Well aware what furloughs mean:

A furlough is a temporary leave of employees due to special needs of a company or employer, which may be due to economic conditions of a specific employer or in society as a whole. These involuntary furloughs may be short or long term, and many of those affected may seek other temporary employment during that time.

I have reason to believe that the above mentioned was offered and still in affect.
If you weren't given a "Furlough" but made redundant, then there's a very valid reason.

Therefore, no need to sound condescending and get off your high horse.

You out of all people with your constant deriding messages putting WY down is to tell you the truth, a wee bit pathetic and tedious.

We go at it again :)

As a terminated pilot (because that is what it is, can't sugar code it, redundant), not furloughed, I hate to give you the breaking news. Although, I wish that rumor was true, it is not. Just as it was a copy paste for all termination letters, the speech was the same copy paste regardless of who gave it to you, and I quote "send your contact to this Captain, he will keep it on file, whenever things get better, and the need comes, we will call you". If you think this is a furlough status, well then let's call it furlough

You out of all people with your constant deriding messages putting WY down is to tell you the truth, a wee bit pathetic and tedious.
I will reply to you from my high horse as I wave off from this exciting experience WY has been with something very interesting I found along this thread

Isn't it a bit like freedom of speech?

Just depends if you are on the receiving end or not?

You can put me in any list you want, but please, I beg you!! Don’t swap your flight bro!! Don’t be so lazy ass man!

Is it necessary to receive an email from the MF asking you to please don’t swap the flights? How many flights a month you get? 3? 4? And you need to swap? Really?

sorry for interrupting, please continue with what you were doing! Cheers!
