Deleted today a post linking to an article accusing QR of behaving like Nazis in concentration camps, supporting torture, abuse of power, prostitution and promoting homosexuality.
Do any of you understand how immature this sort of thing makes you look? There are clearly issues at QR that need to be resolved: Attempting to do so as adults is likely to prove more effective in the long run

I just thought i would share with everyone what i have know about QR
First of all i used to live in Qatar for 7 years ( not working for QR) and when you live somewhere for that long you first of all get used to it life there. There was basically nothing to do aside from going to shopping malls and the occasional beach trip. Although there have been some improvements since i left (2004) eg, a few more shopping malls and bars in hotels popping up, nothing much has changed.Although working as crew there you may make alot of friends, life will most probably be dull if uve come from lets say Europe or Australia. I have to say i did enjoy living there for a while as the pace of life is easy going and if you have family and friends there its ok.
However, i have alot of friends that work and have worked for QR and to be honest, although some of them are happy, or lets say satisfied with their job at QR, alot arnt, and especially with the new " Crew have to be home by 10 PM " rule which is true and NOT a rumour.If your prepared to follow some very strict rules on you lifestyle then QR isnt that bad ( qood salary,nice shared apartments etc) however be aware that with QR you have to be prepared to follow its policy of " our way or the highway"

Qatar Airways Open Day
Hello to everyone,
I was wondering is there anyone who can explain about experiences from Qatar Airways Open Day. For the first time they will come in my country and I would like to know how it look likes?
Is it the same like Emirates Open Day?
Thank you in advance for any information.

life in QR
hi guys, its sad the truth is always wiped out as this thread is to be used to warn those who are or wish to join QR...I think you should visit other cites where more accurate details are available that will protect you from the HIT MAN......good luck to all who are there and all who wish to join....remember QR maybe be the fastest growing airline but its like all the over size folks in the US who eat their body into hugh balloons that burst with a prick from the HIT Man....

I have given up warning people on this website. Clearly there are a lot of people out there who come on to this website who are just desperate because they are not good enough for other quality airlines and refuse to listen to the bad things about QR...There are few good things to write about!!!
Just let them make their own mistakes at this stage and dont waste any more of your time warning people.
My opinion anyways!

Dont shoot the messenger, paddy did infact work for QR, and no not all airline in the gulf are the same, EY and EK are certainly no comparison to QR standards or attitudes
Please remember to be polite on this forum like the mods would like or yet again this thread will be closed, try and remember that not all things in life agree with everyone.

This new 10 pm rule would then be some kind of bell if its true......

Hi,
I am very sorry if it sounds like I have attacked someone with my last message! It is in fact that Qr is strict! But you have these problems at any airline too!
Last time it was reported that cabin crew of QR comitted suicide
- this happened also at Emirates before 2 or 3 weeks
Everyone is telling about soooo many crew who are leaving QR, look at Etihad! I have many friends who fly for EY and they are trying their utmost to leave because of poor organization etc.
Every airline market itself so good as it can to employ new cabin crew like showing videos of the most happiest cabin crew, going out with freinds, enjoing the sun and beaches etc........
-Last year a girl from Serbia left Emirates just after 2 or 3 months! Why??ß She felt it is too strict there and she even kissed the earth when arriving into Europe!!! So guys all I wanna clear up is that not only QR is strict! If you do your thing well enough you won`t have any problems at all!
I agree with QR new memo for crew to be home at 10 p.m! This is for security for passengers and for crew to have a clear head and to be fresh, it is a high demanding job and I don`t want to fly with crew who were at parties drinking lots of Wodkas before their last flight or having crew who are sleeping on jump seats if an emergency happens!!!!!!! This is Horror!!!
Best and warm regards!

Milady... how about flying with flight deck that have been partying till reporting time?! would you feel safe? We all know it's also happening and there is nobody restricting them to be at home at 10 pm. It's a free world or so it should be...that memo it's an attack to FREEDOME and anybody who encourge this....i pity their minds and soul...
God save you...or allah...or whatever...

It's very funny to read all these posts including the ones from the Moderator. Why do you guys choose to lose your time like that? Take watever is to be taken from that company and go away. Everybody is responsable for his own life, so stop being children. You don't like it - it's obvious - then just go away. Finish everything has to be finished and leave the place. Be mature and choose for your own life. Or, if you choose to stay there then stay and be happy with your choice. Why is it suppossed to be such a big deal?!
All the best!

Hip Hop rhymes..

Not gonna bother you all with full songs or something,just one verse..
dont love her,just play her: translation
-dont support the crew,just waste them and trow them
And they will keep on recruiting from kindergarden and pre-school

Qatar Airways Open day in Czech Republic
First of all, sorry for defending QR!!! really Sorry babes!!
Guys, as I had work in Prague I just decided to attend the OD of QR in this really lovely nice city! I met lots of nice people and it was a great experience:-)! For those who are aspiring to become cc with QR it is really easy (in my opinion)
Recruiters: Michelle from the Phillippines and Fayrouz from Egypt! Both were nice but Michelle was sooooooo lovely and nice! Fayrouz from Egypt made a really cold impression and I really did not like her!! Well it depends.....
The best thing I have to say, really the best thing I have never seen before at Emirates OD`s where about 100 up to 500 people turn up, only 20 people turned up for QR! There you see what bad reputation it really has for its bad treatment with crew! They showed us a very non interested video only about Qatar which took about 7 minutes but we did not see anything about the crew, the lifestyle, the accomodation, nothing!!!!!! This information was given us oral by Fayrouz! They did not hand over papers like EK does, just telling everything oral! That was really unprofessional! It was really bad! They were talking about salary (bad and too low), allowances, accomodation, uniform, etc. There are lots of deductions so be careful! I really started to wonder wheather I should go or stay! The best thing is that they were all the time telling about ........if you will still be working after the 6 months and than again, and than again, so as if it is a rarity that somebody "survives" this period:-))))))
If you leave before you have to pay and they even told us something about the 10 p.m rule not in relation with crew but with visitors of the crew!! In my opinion they were lying a lot!
Then we were supposed to undergo an easy language skill, 2 silly group discussions and I was happy when I was not invited for the finals as I was tooo activ within the group discussions and I knew that but I did it anyhow as I was not interested in this company!!!
Sorry for defending QR and I really want to encourage all of you to try other airlines than QR! Imagine, Prague is a capital and only 20 people turned around???????!!!!!!! Really nice reputation! Those who are still interested I can tell you the topics of discussions and the languages test!
Regards my friends!

Hi, and thanks for your info.
How is she treated when out on her own, clothing etc, driving. And do you know if there are family oriented activities in Doha etc. Alos more importantly accomodation, do you know if the allowance covers an acceptable residence. Thanks again.
