Clear Up Some Things About Qatar Air

I've been hearing some things about QR lately, and was just wondering if any Qatar pilots/flight attendants could clear some of these up:

1. Is it true that management no longer allows pilot and cabin crew member briefings before flight. Any reason provided as to why?

2. Is it true a pilot got fired for not wearing a hat? Isn't there some sort of union/group that voices the pilot concerns to management (something like an ALPA)?

Lastly, what is a typical monthly schedule like for a QR pilot? How many days away, and days home? 15 on / 15 off, 20 on / 10 off, etc. Just any typical monthly trip. Are there any minimum days off guranateed per month?
