Well, she was the one who did my interview, long time ago. There is a plenty of them who goes on Interviews, and they are all of them Instructors basically. Actually, QR counts some 3000 Cabin crews, and they still going on Interviews, as the company still growing. People living in India, South Korea, and others asian countries will most probabelly have the chance to get to an open day. But I was always wondering why do they go on organising Open days on some countries, and NEVER on others, where thus, they go to them commercially flying ? Have my idea, but I'm wondering what's the reason behind. Anyway good luck, and remember that it's a TAUGH job

Cheers !

The grapevive.

I was told they prefer to hire from South Asian and Eastern European countries, due to the fact these individuals are work oriented. The willingness to toil for success while maintaining high standards is the key factor. To work in a company as Qatar requires humility and a strong backbone.

Cheers

YES, Dubai waves. And If I'm European, or American, or Australian, or or, and having already a nice job in my place, why I would leave that to go live alone, for the same salary or less, a bad crew management, high heat ? Yes, I will explore the world for sur, but after a certain time, we will get tired of travelling all the time. I think that with "some" airlines, a cabin crew job can't be concidered as a long term carreer, but just a transitory life step, and so far, that's what I noticed in Qatar Airways, where everybody join for a short while, gather the money they need for there personal projects, and bey bey. I even flew once with a Srilankan girle who was working just to save money and buy a car back home. That was here goal. Other have more complexe goals, and will spend more time in the company.There was a time where personal loans were possible from almost all the Banks in Qatar to cabin crew. BOY ! A huge amounts of money were taken by crew who then left the company while still under contract ! But well, I guess I'm going out of topic : Back to the countries, the company know that some places, the people will never leave to go somewhere else. There is the mentality profile also, where they know that there are taugh guys and they will never fit on a cabin crew glove, since they will most probabelly punsh one or two passengers ( Wish I was able to do that, too ). While the Asians, mostelly girles and "gays", are very soft and flexible, forgivness and they never say something. I've even experianced japanes crew who was almost crying to a passenger because she droped wine on him. Other nationals will say sorry, make a rubish fake smile, and move on.

Anyway, the South Koreans are moving up on the QR top position according what I heard, but here comes the problem : ENGLISH ! I do not have anything against them, and it's the company who has to be blamed, but while they are stressing on english with some nationalities, they completelly neglect that point with other nationalities, and it was/is very difficult to communicate with South Koreans, as they do not really understand what they are told, and of cours, shy, they will do not say anything. Imagine the scenario, inflight, during service, and believe me, that is happening right now on board QR flights, and maybe the other ME airlines. Another points : They are all very young ladies, between 20 and 24 years old, and some of them, facing the taugh job become very lazy. I peronally had an axperiance while I was incharge, there were 6 south Koreans amoing the crew, all very young, and newish in the company, and after a while, It was brought to my attention that one of them was abscent for a bit long. Where was she ? It was a long night flight, and by here comportement from the begening, I thaught that she took a PAX seat, and was sleeping. I wasn't far, she was sleeping yes, but in the lavatory, and for almost 2 hours ! BOY, how mad I was

But anyway, good luck for all of they guys who want to try the adventure

dear.ITO

well, I am just one of candidate who want to join to work and share new and variety culture in the ME. maybe I just don't know how they are and I'm not sure how's the working enviroment yet. even we don't have any desrt in Korea.

That was truly unbelievable to me what you experienced during in filght.
but come on mate, when I was working in Australia as a F&B attendant, sometimes I had to come back at night to work after finish my morning shift. yes, I did too..I fell asleep at a staff's changing room for 10 minuties. yes..funny and silly wan't I..

I just worry about other Korean girls in this forum even I haven't met quiet lot yet.. if they can see your words, they would be inconvenience themselves.. because, everyone can write and read in this forum which means if somone's gonna blame and defame in such a public place, just like this, we can see now, I'm sure that everybody will think all or almost Korean girls are lazy and untidy at the job..

And I'm absolutely sure you do not have anything against to the Koreans..

good day to you...

Grrr QR Crewing Manager terminated

QR Crewing Manager was terminated few days ago. "Poor guy" he'll go find a better job in a better company. AAB called the security because he couldn't manage himself the issue. Yep, this is what we call... I met the cabin crew operating a flight to Europe yesterday...Almost minimum crew operating the type of A/C...Some of them are my friends...

All the best!

qrsamira

QRSamira, I don't have any idea about who's gone replace Cris. I don't think they have any idea either, you know they do this king of things without any prior preparation, but for sure there will be a worse Crewing Manager then Cris.

It's their business about how they want to manage their company and, let's be honest, some people accept very well this kind of management, otherwise they would do all possible things to go away.

If I'll find out something about the new manager I'm gone let you know, ok?!

All the best!

AAB

I'll highly appreciate if somebody can answer to this simple question :
Are other airlines chairpersons doing same as AAB ?
Well let me rephrase my question, Does he has anything to do except chasing his staff and entertaining his friends complains about x,y..,z crew to give himself the absolute right to terminate him/her

Cheers

Chris, out of service ? that is what I call a NEWS ! I`ll have to check on that too. but I`ll not be surprised if that has really happened. If it`s the case, well, there will be another guy to replace, and to terminate in few months/years, as it`s the favorite activity in QR : Firing people !

Crewing has been always an issue in the company, and as you know HEHEHEHE you`ll find always a minimum crew on an EU sector, and plenty of them in an asian sector. WHy ? I do not know !

Sunny choi, as you said I do not have any thing against South Koreans, or any others nationalities I worked with in QR. The only remarque was about communication problem, and some lazyness, not only with them but with others too, and sleeping in a lavatory of an aircraft who`s flying at 950 Km/H at 41000 Ft, and having a nap on ground, safety wise is not the same, and not fair toward the other crew, as we are supposed to be a TEAM, and during 10H of flight, we are ALL tired ! Fitting in a Cabin Crew glove, It`s first all about respecting each others.

Wich you all the best in your upcoming interviews. Do not forget to try Emirates and Etihad



P.S : GPRS, your question will remain asqued, but I do not think that others CEO`s are just interested by spying on there staff and see if the pilots are wearing there hats, if the scirte is too tight, or if that or that is wearing rings or not. That is a bit of stupidity I guess, but in the other hand, I think that we have to admist that AAB has done a great job in rising the company giving gere a place in the market, despit all the stupidity going around in the same time. I do not know if you`ll agree with me, but between the time where QR started with El jabor as a CEO, and the time ( 1997 ) where AAB took place, there is BIG differences, and the ailine`s airplanes were and I guess are always indicating FULL PAX !

ITO: Where are you from?

I have to agree that some S.Koreans are very lazy and greedy. But well, if you ever notice, there IS a little stint in ALL nationalities on board. Some crew of the same nationality can be nice, while some r mean and rude? It's all the same. Most of the S.Koreans I know are in their late 20s and they are hardworking and nice, maybe just for now. But the same applies to other nationalities as well.. So like what, quit complaining! Your English isn't well spelt as well and I don't think you can speak English any better than these S.Koreans..

Anyway, Chris, the guy who was terminated, is from Rostering. Not whatever Crewing dept.

I'm so sick of having to hear people getting terminated everyday. This stupid company is only good at firing people and then, recruiting cabin crew again. Don't they ever think that by FIRING LESS PEOPLE = HELPING COMPANY SAVE COSTS?!

Like what, they are trying to save costs by implementing all these silly bus transport system, taking away our cable boxes, cutting down on our pay, etc... Do they think it's really helping? They are just creating more opportunities to induce ADDITIONAL OVERHEADS to the company!

BRAINLESS.

They HAVE already taken our cable boxes, what do you mean by really?
Anyway, it's not just the bus system that sucks here, everything that they have recently implemented are ADDING on to the already warped company management.

If you like to be under surveillance like a criminal (not to mention a 5 yr old!) and don't mind risking terminated ANY DAY, I welcome you with open arms. Then again, QR promotes all the rude and lazy people with a history of problems while the good and hardworking ones all go unnoticed. The company is all dominated by the arrogant and BIAS Indians so forget about talking equality with them. They will only say 'The CEO said this, the CEO says so, this is what the CEO says...' while in fact, everything was self-imposed by themselves.

There's no welfare at all and if you are right, they will make you think you are wrong and create unnecessary problems for you.

If you would LIKE to still join QR, come then and submit like a dog. If you can't, don't even think of joining.

I think that you just got it wrong. S.Koreans are just an exmpl, the experiance that I had personally, and as said, there is plenty of other nationalities, all of them with there laziness, problems, and so on. Hey, nobody is perfect !

And no matter from where I am, as far as I know, Im not working for a daily news paper where I HAVE TO check my spelling at then end of each piece of words.
