Hi All,

I recently applied for a New York session, and was wondering if anyone has one scheduled for the USA. I didn't notice any planned sessions and my application says received, but thats it.

Thanks

clarebear:

you seem quite nice, but very Naive. I've been here for quite a long time, not a cabin crew as you might have guessed by the name, but friends with many.

ask yourself this.. why does QA lose on average of 60 Cabin Crew per month in terminations and resignations ??
then ask, why does the majority of Cabin staff come from Asia and sub-continents and less than 2% of all Cabin Crew are of western nationalities??
then ask, why did QA hire over 100 Cabin crew from Auz a short time ago ( well 4 or 5 years ago) and none of them stayed more than 1 year.
then ask, why does the neighboring airlines have nearly the opposite statistics as found in QA ??

come over and check things out.. they will paint you a pretty picture of course.
soon you'll be just another statistic as well. been here long enough to see it happen time and time again.

don't get me wrong, come over and have a look for yourself, but be real, don't kid yourself into thinking that nice recruitment officers are telling you everything and that it's all so good.

with regards to hours flown, B777 rated girls fly more than 150hrs per month, pairings like back to back Washington or New Yorks, as well as multiple double sector nights ( Doha-Dubai-Doha-Bahrain-Doha) with hours of time between sectors.

80hrs..LOL.. what dreams are made of.

I Need Some Info Please !

Hello Everyone ! I'm New Here At The Qatar Airways Forum, I'm From La Paz, Bolivia- South America, And I'm Planning To Attend To The Qatar Airways Cabin Crew Open Day That Will Be Held Here In My City In Four Days ( February 14th ) , ( I Just Found Out Today, That They're Coming.. I'm Kind Of Nervous..)

I Have Some Doubts.. This Will Be An Open Day, Right?, Do They Select The Chosen Candidates That Same Day? Or Do They Call Them Back For Another Day? ( To Assist An Assesment Day?).

And I Don't Have Experience In This Kind Of Interviews For Cabin Crew, Could Anyone ( That Has Assisted To A Qatar Airways Open Day Before ) Please Tell Me A Little Bit About That Day? ( How The Selection Process And Elimination Is Made? , What Kind Of Questions Do They Ask You, What Kind Of Tests Or Activities Will They Make Us Do, Etc.) I'd Be Really, Really Thankful If Someone Could Please Answer My Doubts, Is Very Important For Me Please, I'll Be Looking Forward For Your Answers.

Thank You Very Much

hey, was wondering if someone could enlighten me....

1) If you decide to break the bond and return home, will you be liable to pay QA for "damages"? If so, how much?

2) I've heard a lot of negative press about QA and their policy towards crew. Is the situation better now or still the same?


Thanks guys!

It depends on how long you have been working for them when you decide to break the bond. They start deducting the bond from your salary on the 3rd month. It's approximately 7500 QAR for 22 months and in average 350 QAR per month.

Let's say you stay there for one year, which would be ten months. Then, you would have payed of 350 x 10: 3500 QAR. You would have to pay them the remaining 4000 QAR. Also, if you leave within a year you have to pay back the joining bonus.

Hi all. I wonder if anyone has got a telephone number for Qatar HR as I recently attended a recruitment in NZ and have not heard anything yet. It has been three weeks now. Thanks for any help.

As per Capt Krunch

I'd second that, stay clear, not a good company to work for.

Been there done that. Made some very good friends, but the conditions are terrible and dont look like they have changed after 10 years.....

Good luck though, but i would suggest EK or EY....

Hi everyone ... I worked for qatar for almost 4 years and the only reason i stayed all this time is because of my loan that i had to pay off. i could say that people have different opinions about qr however mine is similar to the majority. i don t wanna break the dream of some of u being a cabin crew and see the world but i was not happy there ... the management is very strict and those who are used to freedom be sure you will feeling like a prisoner in doha ... i am currently working for etihad and happy about it ... totally different ... qatar would never change specially when the Baker is still ruling it ... if u wanna get married u have to take his permission ... if u wanna get out of the country you have to get an exit permit ...if u wanna use ur mobile not while wearing uniform ... many restrictions and the curfew is the best thing lol ... you are not allowed to get out of your house before 12 hours prior to your duty start ... wht do you think about that ? i don t know if they are still implementing this rule but probably yes ... many things not worth woking for qr BUT if u like to fly go ahead and you will discover it by yourself ... good luck for everybody

SCARY!!

I've been 4 times in Doha, but working in tennis, so I really don't recall any abuse of my 'typical rights'....pretty much treated like royalty actually! I even do remember having a huge private party in the island across the city! good times.....
