@ QR pilots...
 

I heard a rumor, QR is planing to do foreign bases...

Any truth in that one?

How will they pull off all their housing scams ?

Did you hear the rumor or did you...dream it ? :)

That will never happen. Not at this airline

Maybe a new method to lure and attract new joiners!:E
Eventhough i don' t really see our actual saturated 5 stars airport&infrastructure able to cope with such an increase of traffic&aircraft in the next couple of years.
College aircraft/Fighter/helicopters sharing the same busy airport doesn't help.:ugh:

Talking about rumors wait until September when they start spreading the one for the salary increase. Every year it starts in September and it usually dies out around May. There is always someone who saw the paper on the desk of AAB awaiting to be signed. At the end there is always someone to be blamed for not beeing signed. The HR department or the long gone BW or or or...
This is how life goes on and on here in QR.

DON'T BELEIVE IN A SINGLE WORD THIS PEOPLE SAY!!!!

THEY SAID SALARY INCREASE....RESULT....ZERO.

THEY SAID BIDDING SYSTEM....RESULT....MAX 3 DAYS OFF WHEM CABIN CREW HAVE NO SUCH LIMITATIONS.

ALL BULLS:mad::mad::mad:

THEY SHOULD LEARN FIRST HOW TO TREAT WITH HUMAN RESOURCES!!!THEN TNINKING TO THE 5 STAR WHATEVER...

DON'T COME TO QATAR AIRWAYS UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY REALLY REALLY DESPERATE!!!

NOF

I have close contact with Line Maintenance and Engineering at QTR and I can tell you that they are quite happy with their recent salary increase.
One Licensed Engineer who has approvals on all QTR's Airbus types showed me his letter, it detailed a total increase of 20%.

Hopefully this will also apply to the airborne fraternity

WOW!
 

Looks like this ****hole is the hell on earth...

Unless the 777 dudes stop pounding it in at Doha, we aint gonna get crap.

The outside base thing has been a wet dream for many pilots around here for many years...Wont happen until our brethren more southbound start doing this, and they wont!

Comuting would mean for the airline a loss of control, for the country a loss of revenue and for the pilots too many goodies to handle!

The recruitment team uses these things as a way to lure people into joining.

Days OFF in a row
Command upgrades (fast track)
Comuting bases
Confirmed ALT
Schooling
.....


Alll BS!:ugh::yuk:

What are you saying they are lying to people about paying for kids schooling, please do go on.

They probably tell the people that 50.000qr/year is more than enough to cover the education fees of your childrens...
It's in fact barely enough to cover one kid!(for a level of education which is probably not the highest of the world..unlike the fees!!):hmm:

Qatar Housing
 

Could someone comment on the company provided housing for Captains at Qatar Airways? Maybe some pictures?

Thank you.

Hello. As a captain you will most likely be allocated a villa/apartment in either Ain Khalid Gate or Al Markhiya (there are a couple of other smaller compounds as well). Alternatively you can request the housing allowance and find your own accommodation.

I found some photos on the internet of Ain Khalid Gate. These aren't my photos, so I hope the owners don't mind me linking to them:

FO Housing
 

Any idea of the housing for FO's? I know its mandatory to stay in the company accommodation. Any links/photos would again be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

See above. It's Ain Khalid Housing.

FO's accommodation

Holiday Villa Hotel & Residence City Centre, Doha

Very nice pics of Ain Khalid....or ALKATRAZ!!!

Here some weak and strong points:

WEAK:over populated,maids gathering on the stairs like KERALA!!
kids screaming,noise level very high.
The units are built by people with no clue of what they did.finishing sucks.
Dogs ****ing everywhere,pool water full of bacteria,as seen on your kids skin after a bath.

STRONG::=:=:=:=

About Holidays Villa,

Looks fine but.....the security will check you out so no girls inside ,cameras everywhere and when it will be full of people it will be a mess!garanteed.
Bytheway....windows are locked,only recycled air...:ugh::ugh::ugh:
