Notwithstanding the encouraging advances outlined in the previous post by lfbb, I think it is widely recognised that Qatar is the runt end of the whole Middle Eastern airline experience. The root of that that is the management culture fostered by a particularly unpleasant individual at the very top. None of the Middle East airlines are exactly industrial relations wonders and delights, but Qatar are certainly in a league of their own. Nonetheless, needs must, and if you have no other option then I fully understand that you have to bite the bullet and just get on with it. Unfortunately, that may mean working at the rock bottom end of the industry, and it does not get much more rock bottom than Qatar. The only saving grace is they have some wonderful new aircraft in their inventory, and that could bring a few moments' pleasure to an otherwise awful experience. Fortunately for Qatar, pilots are like lemmings and despite the countless well-presented and erudite warnings on PPRuNe and the likes, there is a sucker born every minute who just thinks it cannot be that bad. It can, and it will be that bad, but most people are so dense they need to find out for themselves. Therefore just fill your boots and go off and do it - you owe it to yourselves.
