Just had a fairly exhaustive search through the back pages and have to admit the Qatar sounds abyssmal when it comes to the way in which they treat their cabin crew.
However, for passengers they offer such tempting goodies as two for one deals, especially in FC or BC and one is actually about to buy tickets on Qatar for quite a long series of flights. The routes are in fact serviced by another carrier (neither Emirates nor Gulf nor even BA) but the seating in business on this carrier is nothing like that available on QA, whose praises have often been sung to the rafters by those acquaintances who have flown with them.
There is no fun to be gained in travelling, especially when paying full whack for one's own tickets, on a long haul flight with a persecuted cabin crew; neither would one want to be flown by an unhappy flight deck crew.
Without wishing to start a QA slanging match, can anyone either reassure this little passenger as to the sybaritic comforts of the airline and the excellence of its flight crew or, of course, dissuade him from travelling on this carrier?
For the benefit of those who only frequent the cabin crew forum, this is neither a journalist enquiry nor a management fishing expedition. Reference to other posts by cavortingcheetah will elicit a wide ranging series of points of view, some rather more controversial than others but all taken with good intent even if the tongue is sometimes somewhat stuffed firmly in the cheek.
