Hi Cherrie! You are right! EY and EK take only few applicants during Open days! Usually it is so that 2 males and 9 to 11 females will be taken further to final interview (this is what I have seen as I also did it until final at EK) Well I think if you really want to do this job in the middle east and if you think that you can do a perfect job (this is what QR wants) than you can try Qatar Airways! Of course they are having problems with crew etc but if the see thisnthey will be forced to solve these problems by giving the crw better options! Well I also attended QR Open Day and there were only 20 people who showed up for this Open Day! The recruiters told us that all their rules are only there to save you and to show your parents that you are in good hands (this is what they told) Well, as said before if you think that you can handle this good than try and check the situation!
