Another thread without the negatives
Impossible, surely with this airline.
Word reaches me today of another group, being fired for not being at base before their duty.
A memo has gone out this week, all employees must be in their own accommodation every night regardless of duty, a scan of this memo can be seen if requested.
The airline right now seems hell bent on alienating as many people as possible and making it impossible for crew to lead normal lives or have any sort of life outside of the airline.
At the moment there is an excess of junior staff so they may be just be trying to get the numbers down, but what happens when the airline wants to expand.
It will have such a bad reputation that no one will want to work for them.
Which is kind of a shame, the planes are modern, the routes not too bad and the pay although low is tax free and your flat is free.
Qatar is not heaven on earth by any means and to be honest if you are a single girl aged between 20-30 it really is the last place on earth you would want to live, but its getting better, the City is slowly improving and the infrastructure is falling into place, one day it will be a great little City, hopefully a bit like Dubai but without the infernal traffic.
The problem will be the airline will never be World Class as they just won't attract the type of quality crew needed to keep the airline up to standard.
until Al baker goes there will be no change and I can honestly say that I would not recommend any one joins until he goes, then and only then will the airline be one worth considering.
