Agree that staff travel in QR is great.
It's all done online and if you purchase QR tickets you can pay by credit card and print them out at home. If you need tickets with other airlines you still have to go to staff travel office to pay and pick them up. This will take up to two hours...
After six months in the company you get First/Business Class tickets which should maximize your chances to get on, not to mention the food and service.
The reinstated days off rule would make commuting to EU possible since QR now fly almost everywhere.
