Ok guys have sat back and looked at all your replies and well what can I say.

Fact Qatar Airways have a no poaching agreement with EK so if your looking at it as a way to perhaps get over to Emirates forget it. They will not touch you with a barge pole if you join qatar.

You would have to resign from QR go home and then apply.

Perhaps your looking to join qatar to get some experience give it a try but can guarantee that within six months if not sooner you'll be quitting and going home or jumping ship down route somewhere.

Their are still a lot of problems at qr well what can you say with 31 cabin crew resigning in the month of may and many more in the last few months.

Please dont get me wrong I very much enjoyed my time at QR and the country is great a little bit hot but what can you expect with living in the middle east. But what I did refuse to accept was a COMPANY CEO telling me what I can do in my spare time and who I can see as well.

As for rosters I still have a few friends still their and their rosters are like hell and have been for months operating with min crew and getting bribed to do it. Days off down route seem to be common place these days and its being rostered that way. It has not moved on from my time back in early 1997 only got a few more crew..

Suggest you check things out very carefully and not just take the glossy cover and oh by the way the training department is also run by a twit who also thinks he god!!!!!

Best bet guys hang it out and keep going for EK if its the middle east life you want and also a No1 (CSD) at qatar gets about the same money as a Junior at EK. (this is fact also)

Happy flying and keep safe
