Do you know that there the sexual abuse is happeninmg everyday?! Do I have to adept myself to that?! ... They really don't have any etic at all...The management take action if there is a case of complaint in the company, but there is abuse from them as well . I even know girls who were told " If you say something about that I'll have you hanged down the rope". So... What were you saying about THE LOW?!...

ChicDolly, pls just learn to talk like a normal cabin crew here. Second, they wish they did that but they just weren't able to do it. And then, it's true, there not only 250, there are more. I only said about 250. If you want I can give you the real number as well...
QA is not a good company. That's my opinion and I tried to prove why. If you want you can prove me wrong. Untill now you were not able to do so, but don't try to make other people apply for this company. This is wrong in any relligion. If you have something to say, say it the way it really is. Don't misslead people around you just because you have some experince there.
Good luck!

ChicDolly...let the people give their opinion about the company, even if they have not the same view as you.....
I´m sure nobody(even you) can pretend knowning everything that happen in this company....so how can you jump on Hehe by telling him straight he is wrong....????
DO you really think most of the people posting thread here are just inventing stories about Q.A...?

Let me have my two cents worth in the matter as a very pioneer QR Crew member!
All u guys,do your selves a huge favour!....stay out of QR!.....you get your youth only once in a life time...dont let it be ruined by the dictators of Qatar Airways!
I say this because I was/have been a victim at the hands of QR and I am amongst very many.
if you still go ahead,I wish you good luck.however,remember this post written by me in a few months!....better have a copy of this printed and hidden in your suitcase on your way to Doha!you will need it when u cry!
Qatar is truly a five star Airline for Passengers.and it is also,truly a 7 star hell for Employees!
Safe Landings everyone!

ChicDolly, I went to the doctor. He said I'm fine...
QR is crap, all the people here say that, you have a lot of experience, something is very strange that you don't want to admit... PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT THERE! THEY ARE SAD WORKING FOR QR, most of them, some are ok as well, but most of them want to run away. Only they have to pay money now if they wana leave QR sooner then 2 years. Hehe. But I'm very glad you like it. I'm sure you can rejoin, because they need so much crew right now....
All the best!
P.S. May I ask you a favor?! Can you please let the people express their feelings about QR because I'm very interested in what they say. You know,for some reasons, I really need to Know what they think, that's why I'm on this forum.

Anzkosh, I'm really sorry to hear that, but you know, sometimes is for the best. Just do that check up again and if you're fine I really hope you'll fly again in a better company, so you can have all the fun this job can give. Don't lose your hope, just take it step by step and I'm sure you'll be a cc again.Hope you'll come with good news! Good luck!

Anzkosh,
Sorry to hear what happened with you. Please try, however, not to write as a text message. People will prefer that believe me!
He He,
We are all entitled to our opinions but I have to agree with Chic Dolly, saying that you can PROVE all these resignations??? A tad childish to be honest. I was a vistim of QR's regime, Mr. AAB. I am not bitter...angry, yes but I am over it and extremely successful in the industry...but I feel for the hardworking crew that are still there putting up with it! Some are good friends.
Chic Dolly,
Let He He have his/her rant and think about the other thread ongoing in the Middle East forum!! Much more fun eh? Cousin??? HMMM Miss MR perhaps you are???LOL!
Cheers and let's move on!! Life is too short!

QR, a long story infact !
Unfortunatelly, as said by one of the members above, it’s a 5 stars hell to there crew, and that is sad. When Emirates crew faced god, they have been sent to hell. But, when QR crew faced god, they have been sent to paradise. So EK crew asked what was the reason ? The answer was that QR crew were already in hell befor dying.
So then comes the question, why ? Why the management acts like that with there own crew, the people that are serving them, helping them to get there money. Sometime, I aske my self what will happen, if QR, or Qatar, was like another « normal » country, with syndicates, and all there Cabin crew go on general strike, or worse, resigne all in the same time. QR will be ruined !
But the reality is that all the Crew are working for money, and for a short while, to achieve something. After that, they leave, wich is normale. Mission accomplished. That’s is the reason, in my humble opinion, why all the crew stays here, and force them seleves to be extra patiant, even if there honor is quite miss handeled. Others, coming from poor countries are obliged to work, either for there families, or for theme selves, as they do not have something elses in there place, and the salary given by the company, exchanged to there local currency back home makes theme having a decent life if staying over there. I have never seen people so afraid to loos there job, like in Qatar Airways.
Talking abour resignation, the fact is true aswel, and that’s a big problem for the company, as they keep on training people, to replace the daily people that are resigning. If I was a chief of a factory, I’ll aske my self why my people are letting me down ? A simple exemple of resignation that just happened, and wich is not a gossip at all : A crew had a hair cut wich was not normal per there ( stupide ) regulation. His whole month roster was STBY. The reason ? To let his hair grow up ! That’s crap from an airline who is supposed to be a Major one. Words got with other words between him and the management, he got terminated. For what ? For a hair cut !
One of the other point that I find rediculous, is there -12H regulation. If you go on leave, or days OFF, and you come back -12H befor your rostered flight, you will have the chance to get a warning lettre with 6 months no promotion, no salary increment, and no exit permit if you want to go somewhere during your days off, except if you have an emergency or an anual leave. I want to say, who the hell are you to retain me of going somewhere ?
Beeing very objective, my opinion is that the airline should improve his crewship management and try to keep there people, not by increasing the salary or giving luxury houses, but just by treating them well fairly, concidering them as human, and not just as plot on a computer. That’s my only wish. Yes the company gives a good salary, yes they give nice accdomodation, free taxes and all the benefits that you’ll not have in other places. Yes QR will give the opportunity to visit the world, even if You will pay for that by your hard working, Yes you'll most probabelly do what you will have never done in your life if you were not with QR, yes you'll achieve your goal maybe, but at the end of the day, is just the money who is important in life ?
That was my minute :-)

Homesick rae, I don't want to insist or anything here. I really think people don't know what they are into. Just giving few informations I'm sure about, that's all. About the resignations, of course you can prove, just ask the people at the transportation how many people they aren't suppose to pick up anymore because of the resignations. There may be this huge number because of the malaysian crew going back to their place, but you still can not replace as a company this number. Thet's all I wanted to say. Sorry if I'm to much on this isue.
All the best!

Hi Ito, I'm with you on this matter. In fact, the topic here is not what they give you right now, important is how they lie at the interview. I had no idea about this treatment when I was recruted to work there. I was so happy, it was somethimg else and then I had experience before. Maybe people at their first job don't realise that, if you like the job and decide on going on with it, there are actually so many other places to do it and to enjoy at the maximum. Now even the layovers are not that good anymore because people prefer to be on their own, no more hanging around as it was before - still going out, but they are very susspicious about their colleagues (regarding the reports and everything). I know somebody from the company who told me, and I really trust the person, that there are tones of pictures about the crew smoking, drinking etc, you know...common things the crew are doing in layovers. Imagine the quality of some of the people there...And the company is giving full support in doing that...
Guys, I'll be a bit bussy for some time, I don't think I'll be around for a while, so wish you all the best and Happy Flying!
Thanks a lot everybody and wish you all the best!

Yes, hehe. Good luck and have a good journey and goodbye! We will certainly miss your wit, charm, informative and balanced views on all aspects of operational matters at QR.
Seldom do we find truly inspirational members on this forum such as you, only too willing to provide us with relevant data and highly accurate information on your subject. It is clear to see why you hold QR with such fervour and it is also inspiring to see your repetitive eloquence and highly articulate approach to all those who are cynical about the whole subject of in flight service in and out of the Peninsula state.
God speed and hasten ye back. All the best to you too!

The idea is very good Qatardream, and i´m sure if it happens, Mister AAB will Sh... in his pans....But unfortunatly not really realistic in a place like Qatar, where most of the crew that are reccruited here are desperated girls from the far east who are looking for a support for their family, so welfare, respect of dignity, and fair treatment are not for them a priority.....

Salary Package
I was just at the Singapore Open Day a few days ago. This is what the package looks like per month (currency is in Riyal):
During the 6 months probation: 2700
After the probation: 3750
Flying allowance: 31 per hour
On top of that, there is a 2000Riyal welcome package when you first arrive.
BUT HERE'S THE DEDUCTION:
Trolley bag/luggage: 520 - deductable from your salary at 100 per month
Accomodation: 1500 - deductable from your salary at 100 per month. This 1500 will be reimbursed to you upon completion of contract
There's one more deduction which I didn't have time to copy down. The recruitor told us that flying hours can range from 65 to 80 hours. Is that per week or per month? And is the salary the same for all countries?
