Epic rant. He’s definitely a pilot.

​​​​​​It explains every example and variation on a theme of how the company screws around with you

Stay away from QR. Broken promises, unilateral mandatory pay cuts, no pay for deadheads, coach class ocean crossing deadheads (standby for first), culture of fear (flight attendant and company narcs), weekly policy changes and conflicting manuals. No sleep, different set of logbooks for pay, schedule, and rest. Rest rules routinely broken, mandatory extensions, expense reports denied, health insurance plans swapped from Allianz to Middle East/Indian inferior plan. Housing poor, arbitrary rule where pilots of same nationality can’t fly together making rotations to homeland hard to bid. Crew meals often round-tripped catered Briyani du jour. Airport hotel overseas layovers, rule you must be within an hour of hotel for reroutes (rule for no alcohol on layovers for reroute protections) Overall a bait-and-switch for most. BEWARE! And look, shiny wide bodies.

These days doesn't make much sense, i will say during the 2014 timeframe in the regionals there were a lot of guys making up reasons they had to go

Hearing quite a few “accents” with regional call signs lately….

There is only one time that going to a foreign airline makes sense.

When no one in the US is hiring.

There is no better country on planet earth to be an airline pilot in than the US.

Take it from someone who has done both.

Only someone who has never been to Qatar would consider moving to Qatar.

I’d go back to flying recip twins in my hometown before I’d consider upending my life to go to the sandbox!
