OK,in the absence of anyone not saying anything positive about QR,how about previous employees who have gone onto far greener pastures?
Best example I can think of is the lovely Brit Emma W who I believe holds a very senior position in a corporate setup in Saudi Arabia.
Hope this is an inspiration to some!

There is no requirement to be "positive" - simply a requirement that contributors not express racist or hateful or abusive or libellous views - most other airline threads have managed to get by with this - Qatar seems to be the exception.
Prove me wrong... please!

Hey MCTMAN
There are many good examples,
Both Jamie's are also doing very well for themselves as well
Thats just another good example, good company QR could of done very well with some great crew who hae come and gone but unfortunately upper management is a bit to be desired.

Another thread without the negatives
Impossible, surely with this airline.
Word reaches me today of another group, being fired for not being at base before their duty.
A memo has gone out this week, all employees must be in their own accommodation every night regardless of duty, a scan of this memo can be seen if requested.
The airline right now seems hell bent on alienating as many people as possible and making it impossible for crew to lead normal lives or have any sort of life outside of the airline.
At the moment there is an excess of junior staff so they may be just be trying to get the numbers down, but what happens when the airline wants to expand.
It will have such a bad reputation that no one will want to work for them.
Which is kind of a shame, the planes are modern, the routes not too bad and the pay although low is tax free and your flat is free.
Qatar is not heaven on earth by any means and to be honest if you are a single girl aged between 20-30 it really is the last place on earth you would want to live, but its getting better, the City is slowly improving and the infrastructure is falling into place, one day it will be a great little City, hopefully a bit like Dubai but without the infernal traffic.
The problem will be the airline will never be World Class as they just won't attract the type of quality crew needed to keep the airline up to standard.
until Al baker goes there will be no change and I can honestly say that I would not recommend any one joins until he goes, then and only then will the airline be one worth considering.

good post aviduser
Al Baker is the main thing that is stopping this airline reaching for the stars, once he goes and we get a capable and reasonable ceo this will be I believe a fantastic airline. We have great aircraft, great service, a great network, great people and great potential here. Hope that day comes soon.

Dear Cavelino,
The CS I just flew with must be the most senior QR cabin crew. The service she gave to pax on the dead heading flight down was OK. But during the crew brief to come back she knew little?? EVAC, ELT, security codes, restraint training... She was there just to wait on passengers, nothing much more.
Crap training, crap conditions.... crap job!
Being a Cabin Crew member carries a very serious responsibility. If you want to be the best Flight Attendant that you can be please look elsewhere.

CSD's are the most senior crew in QR not CS's. Go to the airlinequailty.com website, most of our passengers feel the service is better than OK.
Did you give her an impromtu SEP exam on the way back then?
Despite all these safety concerns YOU still operated the flight!
Thought you had left and taken your misery with you.

Note to Cavelino R:
A csd is the most senior crew on a 330 or 300 flight.
A cs is the most senior on a 320.
Duh...
Help! Help! The pilots have infiltrated the cabin crew website!
Can I say "Go back to where you came from" - or would that be considered hateful?

A CSD rostered as a CS is a CS. And with a staff number less than 260, that's getting close to the most senior. Yeah I did give the crew a thorough briefing and I corrected all the deficiencies I found right there on the spot. Someone has to put an emphasis on safety before service.
Isn't it funny that those who cannot leave are always the ones that convince themselves their crappy job is actually quite lovely???

So lets be clear here because you are not and its a very serious allegation... you picked up all those major deficiencies in her brief to the crew? or you gave her an impromptu SEP exam?

Hmmmm........and here we go again! Thread thrown miles off course.
Loc22550 mate, I have no idea why someone is suggesting that you purchase a dictionary, as your spelling is faultless in the post above.
Never mind.........we should probably ban threads that contain the letter "Q", as it seems to be nothing more than provocation for a whole load of BS to hit the boards from some correspondents.
(Not aimed at 225500, Cavelino or Black Stain, by the way. Whilst internally having differing opinions, at least your posts do contain factual data, guys!!)
I have a genuine question for QR cabin crew (or anyone who happens to have the answer): given that the Boeing 777-300ER will be arriving soon into the fleet, has cabin service and safety training begun yet? Once it does, will there be dedicated Boeing crew, or will all cabin crew be eventually cross-trained to operate on all fleet types?
Thanks,
A300Man

Hmmm.
This is quite an interesting "debate". And, even more remarkable, is that both the correspondents have more or less the exact same style of writing, grammar, lack of use of capital letters, certain consumption of abbreviations.........
Could it be.............NO!!!! What am I thinking!!!!
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the following Qatar Airways pioneer crew are still around and still flying with the company, or working now in management?? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Asitha (CSD from Sri Lanka)
Dilan Crero (ditto)
Kevin Herft (ditto)
Jude Kandappa (ditto)
Orla Keegan (ditto - Irish)
Maysoon Habayeb (Jordanian, I think)
Thank you in advance.
