Number 5, A300Man does not work for Qatar Airways. And some of the things in his thread starter are far from being facts. Especially in the case of the Cabin Crew Manager and that South African girl. I am not in the business of embarassing ex-employees of Qatar Airways but please Number 5 do a little investigation into the cases of these two people and then tell me if what A300Man has states about these to people is a fact.
Qatar Airways has been unfortunate in having many bad apples, there were employees who embezzeled, gave away secrets to competitors and so on and so forth. When one is fired they go into a crusade with an aim of destroying Qatar Airways' name because of there frustrations.
Mr. Albaker's management style was known from his time at the CAA to be a man of his word, dedicated to his job, doesn't fool around and gets the job done. That is why he was selected to be the CEO of QR after the restructuring.
He runs a tight ship, makes sure that all employees do there job to there fullest attention. He pays attention to every detail and keeps a close eye on all aspects of the company. This way he eleminated staff who were unproductive and undedicated to achieving QR's aims. And so has managed to make QR very efficient on staff capitalization in comparision with other airlines such as Gulf Air. Of course by making his staff more efficient, he lowers overheads and keeps the company heading in the right direction.
In saying that I have to say that Al-Baker has made mistakes, and can be very strict. A small number of employees could've been fired unfairly but this happens in other places. QR is also very young and the management is still learning from there mistakes. Hopefully in a few years time everything would be better.
Working in QR demands a lot of hard work and effort to achieve the high standards that the company requires and if some people can't handle it then they quit.
But working in QR isn't the hell that many people describe it to be. If it was then you will never see QR last this long and you will never see that amount of employees who were with the company for a number of years and are still very happy with there jobs.
