I doubt if QR is any worse than my 'favourite', or the unmentionable.

About which one? They all appear to treat their most important asset with contempt, it's only a question of manner and extent.

And your comment is based on what?

By saying "Not any worse", you are saying EK and "the other" have the SAME manner and extent- and you are wrong.

There are aspects of staff treatment at both of those that fall below what would be expected in a Western country, and I am not excusing or condoning that.

That isn't what you said- you said you doubted QR was worse.

It is, you're wrong.

My comment is based on first hand knowledge- what was yours based on?

Best time to meet a QR flight attendant? Right after she quits!!! She'll be ready to party!

In all seriousness, the article is illuminating and disturbing. I bet most FAs are never told what to expect when joining. Sounds awful! No way I would recommend that job to anyone.

Does QR employ any female pilots? If so, are they treated similarly?

I would be more worried if male crew are invited to his room for the same reason!

McNulty

I don't work in Qatar, never have, never will. Neither do I need to experience their draconian ethics to make informed comment. There is more than sufficient evidence out there to justify my views.

No matter how much you think you 'want or need a job there', be loyal to yourself and desist from having anything to do with this airline or country.

You will be a better person for it.

People only go to Middle Eastern/Asian airlines if they can't find proper employment in their home countries. bottom line. EK,EY,QR etc are not first choice airlines when deciding were to work.

They are and will always be your second option.

QR have the best looking B777s in the world !
Great livery.
If I were single I would not think twice about applying.
Ghost Rider, it wasn't always a second choice for you. A bit worrying that you also base your choice on how shiny the aircraft is!

as i said if i had nothing to lose i would. at the time i didnt know that i would have to give up my freedom. it seems like a give and take scenario.... you give up your freedom and they give you a decent wage😄
