they are on snap and tik tok now , hiring all the time

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

It is a joke. April fool's day !
Ticker one your joke was smart but maybe some people didn't like it which is understandable

A bad joke considering what some people are going through !

What part, if anything, was smart in that joke ?

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

UA/AA/DL hiring soon? Really ? AC/WJ sure not !

Oh they're re hiring while some countries going to full lockdown again.. Obviously joke, a bad one.. :/

well I had the call back, as did many friends. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

787/777 fleets

so no one from 350 fleet?

SandPilot350

just to be clear. Many people have been invited back and have submitted the online tests. As far as I know, that is where we are all waiting right now.

A member of the recruitment team will be contacting us shortly... apparently.

What is the online test for? Is it technical?

No. Personality tests. 🤦🏻

:ugh:HR super powers!!

If you stop and think about it, makes total sense a personality (psychological) test to asse how much damage the separation processe has caused to an individual. Specially the way it was handled by the company... I bet lots of people left the company carrying back home some hard feelings, maybe HR is trying to filter those individuals. I know it sounds crazy but that's how their "Indian heads" work.

The sub continent mafia will prevail!

lfbb

makes sense to me tho..

Half of it was a joke the other half is not (i don’t know the exact number of recalls yet), my source doesn’t come from Flt ops as i used to be in the banking sector before so i know a few of these cats that are pretty high up in companies most will never hear of it but i will give you two hints auditors and fiscal year.

Apologies to any that got upset it was not my intentions to fool you around.

FlyingAce77, please tell me that you are kidding:

Aslam Kareem - a nice guy?
He is the one who operates the guillotine.

I wanted someone to read between the lines” You did, I appreciate it! :)

He is the King Maker right now in QR, You want NOC butter him up, You want to extend your stay Butter Him Up, You want your EOSB Butter him up. He is just a “Manager” but with the Powers of “Chief”.

Yet, both of them are just 5 feet high.

Hello gents
just for curiosity what is now with the reduced contract the actual income for a captain?
do you still have provident fund? Housing allowance? Educational allowance?

Hi Guys, it's been a while. everyone is so quiet :-) . i've just talked to a friend who still employed by QR. Looks like they have stopped the redundancy because they are starting their new financial year in April 2021 (It doesn't mean they won't redundant staff, but they were rushing to do it before 01st of April).

Does anyone knows if they've implemented a procedure to bring back staff who were outside DOHA?
Especially for pilots? any manual for rejoining pilots ? and what happen if the rating expire? how to get back an RP?

I hope one of you could have an answer to these questions.

God luck to all.

..so the saying goes, i hope most of us (redundant flight crews) would think a million times and reflect how we get to where we are right now....just my 2cents.

Anyone care to explain the rationale behind Qatar laying off pilots prior to the dnd of the financial year? Heard this already but I don’t understand the benefit to the airline only to rehire a few months later...

Hi Silver68, it's probably linked to the budget of their financial year.

Rationale and Qatar in the same sentence. Not a common sight.

Its difficult to fathom the level of incompetence in the QR Flight Ops / Man Power management with the latest e mail.
