So I can hardly fail to notice someone has chopped off most of the posts in this thread.
Crew speaking about their lifestyle in Qatar Airways not to be commented upon apparently?
Ok so you may be saying "it was hateful so it had to go"?
Well THIS IS THE PLACE TO WRITE IT.
Its a RUMOUR NETWORK.
The one added recently about the new rules I am particularly sorry to see go, it is pertinent advice to anyone thinking about coming here, and it assuredly wouldnt be disclosed in any interview process.
This STINKS that it has been deleted.
SHAME SHAME SHAME on you moderators. What are you so scared of???

Well, I guess that the original idea of this thread was to write good comments about Qatar Airways but somehow it went of track, I totally agree that the comments should not be deleted and this is an open debate but we must keep in mind the original thread and comment on that, if you guys wanted to write all the nasty things about QR then a new thread should have been created.
Only my opinion as to why some comments are gone, maybe I'm wrong

Well,
I think that instead of opening more and more threads, having all the info in one topic would be easier for both visitors and moderators. I still donīt know if the posts wer deleted because of its content or because this particular topic was only about good things about QR (which by the way, I have read it stands for Quick Resignation).
Truth can not be hid, itīs like !!!!, it always comes up floating. (Direct translation from Spanish, I do not Know if itīs the correct one)
Cheers from BRS

The other thread has been deleted.
I've tried to explain what is going on in an adult manner. This appears to be more than some of you can deal with so now we'll try the other way.
Posts have been deleted on this thread because:
This thread does not require you to be 'positive' about QR (as has been said before if some of you would take the time to actually read and think about previous posts) - personally, I couldn't give a toss whether you are unhappy or not, at QR, or anywhere else. However, PPRuNe requires that you avoid posting in any off the ways mentioned above, and if you don't, your posts will be deleted and your right to post removed.
There is no other thread in this forum at the moment, where the contributors are so consistently unable to behave in a polite and civilized manner. Moderators lives are too busy (we fly too, remember) to cope with a series of immature hissy fits from boring, disgruntled and apparently semi-literate people, who bring our chosen profession into disrepute.
Oh, by the way, Mods don't enjoy being lectured about impartiality, censorship and the real purpose of PPRuNe by anybody, but especially by those whose own contribution to PPRuNe is minimal. If you do not like this website, then go somewhere else: If that decision is to complex for you, then we would be delighted to assist you.

Posts have been deleted on this thread because:
- They directly accused people of being homosexual, in a manner intended to cause maximum offence
- They make other serious accusations about the airline without proof or evidence.
- They contained foul language or gratuitous insult.
- They were posted in a mixture of SMS text speak, or with an absence of punctuation, or in a language that was not immediately understandable by an English speaking audience.

A good thing to say about QR
I found a good thing to say about QR: having an experience there will help you find a job somewhere else, in a better company... Hehe...this is what they do: they train people for other companies.
All the best!

Hi ok, in my opinion I have to say that as a muslim such as from arabic countries it would not be so difficult to work for Qatar Airways! But for poeple from Europe or somewhere else it might be a bit hard because they have to abandon their normal behaviour such as smoking, drinking, party life, girls and boys........The muslims know the rules in muslim countries and know how to behave in different situations, especially in countrys like Qatar, Saudi Arabia or U.A.E That would make life and work in qatar much more easier for them than christians who were parented a completely different way of life!

One wonders what the average age is of Qatar Airways cabin crew?
I have to say, I stand by my post above - whenever the letter "Q" appears in a thread, the whole thing sinks right into the depths.
Is it a sign of immaturity (arising from a very young and inexperienced workforce, with no real experience of life), OR, is the Company actually REALLY that bad, and hence, driving its people to total despair? (genuine question, so don't start throwing stones and being agressive in any subsequent responses).
Repeated, in case you missed it: Genuine question, so don't start throwing stones and being agressive in any subsequent responses.

The Letter, I just flew Qatar from LHR to BKK and I personally don't understand why Qatar is rated a 5 star airline and how come they get awards for best cabin crew. Most crew members on my flights were unfriendly and did not seem to enjoy their work. One flight attendant - seated in the middle of the cabin, facing passengers - was sleeping on his crew seat during landing!

I agree that they have very young crew, but they don't even care about making them mature. They just want the image of a very confident crew. Eh, they treat theit pilots the same and they aren't of an average age between 19-25...
All the best!

Hi !
I do not really agree with you about the pilots. They do not have restrcitions that CC are having, and if they got called to the office, it is not because of there hairs or there shirts coming out, or a water not given on time, but for typical technical issues that might have been judged not per company SOP, and here we are talking about aircraft piloting, and maybe about technical aircraft limitation that could lead eventually to incidents/accidents, if not properelly opperated, and I can give you a lot of exemples if you wish me to do so.
Back to the Cabin Crew, HAPPY AT LAST resumed perfectelly the situation. Thus, it is exactelly the reality that the company continue to ignore. Money can make you doing a lot of stupid things as you can see, and that BIG FEAR is just groing among there crews, and it's really a shame to see that it starts directelly from there AB INITIO Cours. I remember when we were all laughing ironically when during a breifing, a crew used to say " here sinc XXX, still enjoying ! " Boy ! What a lier you are
Anyway, it's an experiance that somone has to pick, and leave, because I do not think that sombody can stick to QR CC career for a long time.

I worked three and a half years at QR and enjoyed most of the time. Fantastic layovers. Made fantastic friends. Lived in a nice flat in Doha (although Doha was very dull). But yes, it was a very different environment with a their way or the highway policy. No mistakes. Constantly watched by someone. Settling in to a muslim country can also be difficult, let it be if you are from Asia, Europe as me or somewhere else. And yes, many people were unfairly and disgustingly treated (some of my friends included) by the management. When I joined I didn't know what to expect and made the best out of it which worked fine for me.
I didn't know QR employ people who are 19 years old? I would have thought at least 20 according to the law of Qatar?
