I worked with them for three and a half years and left as CSD and know exactly what the environment is like there! Many of my friends were treatled anything but fairly and I, along with many others, witnessed some very disgraceful things down there.

How long have you been there? Still in training? Wait until you are online and you will probably realise that training was the easy bit!

Goooooooo Emmaaaaaaaa!!

...hey, i heard that Qr is getting better, actually. roster looks good, this jepesene - whatever -system is working,apparently. Money is good...average of 9000ryals.
Yes, they will remain a kind of armagedon/alcatraz company, but they have no choice with the kids that they're recruiting. Us, adults, have left loong time agoo! hehehe

Ciuus!

hi there. i attendad last november's assessment in our country. from 500+ applicants down to 16. i'm fortunate that i've lasted until the final interview. the same thing goes, wait within 3 weeks for an e-mail whether i get in or not. my final interview went smoothly. i think the interviewers liked me, but the last decision wouldn't be based on that. i'm hoping i'd get the invite soon so i could proceed to my medicals.

i would like to ask the same qestions as the OP, and also what are the things i should prepare about during my medicals? as far as i know i'm darn healthy, but being more sure and cautious wouldn't hurt. thanks everyone

No I'm not in training. Perhaps I just came here with realistic expectations, my Mother flew in the M.E for many years and in a different age when things were considerably stricter and tougher so armed with the knowledge of her experiences perhaps I had a different attitude? I don't know Emma it couldn't have been so bad if you stayed for three years?? I know people have more bad than good to say but to be honest if you want to work in the industry these days and get decent layovers in good destinations then your choices are somewhat limited! We shall have to agree to differ on this one....ah well vive la difference!!

Hi

Just a quick question ? what do u guys mean by final interview ? I just had my sim assessment with QR and was told it will be 2 weeks before I will hear anything. Is there one more interview after sim assessment ? My understanding is that Sim was the last part. If you get selected you will fly into Doha to go for a medical and start the training........isnt that what it is ? plz clarify

Thanx

Response to commercialpilot

This is the Cabin Crew forum. The comments on this thread relate to Cabin Crew selection. With regards to pilots, the sim assessment is the final stage of selection.

A big Hello to everyone from Buenos Aires!

I get the mail from Qatar asking me for all the medicals. I have send them 3 times in and I never get a reply just to know if everything has arrived fine.
But on the other side my sister who was also selected at the same time as me, has got a reply telling her to wait.

I just donīt get it, all the medical exams were fine,the mails that I have send are very polite, we both send them at the same time, but I keep on being ignored.

I was thinking in give a call tomorrow to the Recruitment Assistant
just to know what is going on...moreover the tentative departure that we got on the mail was for the 15th of January.

This "silent" scenario is driving me crazy!

And, not to forget the most important bit that you will be sacked or demoted for any silly reason.

Happen to meet AAB in the lift when he's having one of his mood swings and he only feels like making your life miserable is one reason.

CS's and CSD's being "disciplinary punished" because they didn't clean the whiteboard properly after briefing is another one.

A girl with nearly two years service in the company was sacked because she dropped a glas of orange juice onto the aisle. One of the passengers complained about the incident to the CSD who reported her when they had returned to DOH.

Not wearing your hat properly would lead to disciplinary. Or, just taking off your hat whilst on the ground on a turn around (out of the sight of the pax) because it's 50 degrees outside will lead to either somebody reporting you, or AAB happen to come onboard and sack you straight away.

Welcome to Qatar Airways! Taking you more personally!

Qatar Airways New Campaigns

Hey All,

After contact with the HR department and reviewing the online career site; It has come to my attention that Qatar Airways has started a lot of campaigns for Cabin Crew. There are many areas where they will be holding assessments and more to come through the new year.

GO 2 THIS SITE TO VIEW CAMPAIGNS AND APPLY
Cabin Crew Job Search | Qatar Airways

I am looking forward to attending the session at New York, NY USA.

If anyone knows about their recruitment process in depth PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST.

I am curious as to why Qatar is all of a sudden advertising for recruitment, cabin crew management and L&D staff in various positions, all marked 'Urgent' ... Any idea? there seems to be an awful lot of positions, all advertised in the last month? Have there been big changes?

Also, does anyone know what they pay/ conditions are like for ground based managers?

If still the same :
1. English written test
2. Team work assessment : They put you in group, give you a subject and aske yout to discuss it.
>>> 1st selection.
3. Personal interview the next day or the same day, depends.
4. Final answer that comes to you from doha after 15 days normally ( that was my case )

Cheers.

They are always recruiting because they can't keep their staff. Staff either resigning, being sacked or jumping ship would be my personal guess.

Their adverts are almost always marked as URGENT.....it's coz they're in a permanent state of fire-fighting to try to get everything balance by juggling a zillion things at once.

It's amazing that the whole thing only teeters and doesn't actually stumble!

cheers

Qatar comments

Hhmm as a customer reading some of the comments here re Qatar management I'm re-posting this note that I placed in the Qatar section.
If they are reading please take note.

Qatar Business: gripes and good shows.
Flew from London to HK via Doha the other day on Qatar Business.

Gripe 1
I am really surprised that babies are allowed in business class. When the baby starts screaming it is bedlam and unfair to the other passengers who have paid for these seats and do not expect have to put up with the noise.

I did ask for a comments form but was not given one. However the Qatar cabin crew relocated the family to a quieter part of business class. Whilst welcome I was surprised that I didn't receive a comments card anyway.

While I believe it is inconsiderate of the family in question to take screaming junior into business class in the first place I think it is also inconsiderate of the airline to sell the tickets in the first place. I pay for business class for the service, space and quiet (ear plugs don't drown out screaming babies).

Good Show 1:
Have flown Qatar a number a number of times from HK to London. Overall a really great service an I have been continually impressed by the in flight service and professionalism of the cabin crew.

Gripe 2:
The ground staff at Gatwick are TERRIBLE and rude. I think Qatar sub it out to a group called Serviceair. They are not knowledgeable of the checking in systems/procedures and their customer manner is generally very poor and in one instance at the gate quite rude. Similarly in HK , CX groundstaff handled Qatar check in and not very efficiently resulting in a Qatar staff member having to take over.


Qatar: great service but please note the above gripes. The saying "penny wise pound foolish" comes to mind.

Hope this helps.

I did not make it! Flew down to CPT - I was impecable - grooming was perfect and would have been taken --- only prob was I was to young by 6 months!! The Recruiter said you have to be 19 and 11 months to be considered and 2 other requirements - fluent in english and finished high school or equivalent.

If I was selected I would have been the first from my country to become cabin crew for them - I asked if they have any Namibians working for QR and answer was no but I have to admit, I did not feel intimidated or nervous at all - was calm - the recruiters were humouress, accomadating and open.

Anyway - I am going to try again this year in May and hopefully I will make it through

Kluge....I think you will find it impossible in this era of political correctiveness and equal rights to find an airline that would refuse to sell a Business Class (or First for that matter) seat to children. If a family wish to spend that money on their little ones then no airline would risk declining their business, not only because we are currently in a recession but also because they would be terrified of the discrimination suit that could be filed by the family!

Just remember, screaming kids were around long before airplanes and business class travel!
