exactly the point

FCO,,,you are answering your own questions,maybe there are soooooo many bad postings here on this website about QR is because there is nothing good to say about Qatar Airways.?????There have been a few positive postings,VERY few,and they normally come from people who type too fast,but over the years the ratio of good postings to bad ones is huge,there must be thousands of negative postings here simply because QR is a very negative company to work for which is probably why EK has thousands of applications every week for every department.To all the sacked QR crew who wish to stay in the middle east,why not give EK or Etihad a go,I always thought Emirates is a great company to work for,I love it here,but reading these posts about QR makes EK the best one to work for.Just a little question,,Why hasn't Qatar Airways released any financial figures for the past few years??????And if EK flew to the moon would QR start flying to the moon asap???Take care all.

I really can't understand why when somebody writes something positive about QR, people go out of their way to bash the person up.

More Milk, may I ask you when was it that EK publically published its first annual report? Were they published from its first year of operation? If the local company law says that QR does not need to PUBLICALLy publish their accounts, are they doing something wrong? Rest assured that the do have accounts done or else numerous banks would not give them credit to buy aircrafts.

You claim that EK is the best employer in the region. Well that's very subjective. I agree that EK has indeed a very good package. A few months back, hell broke up with regards to command upgrade. People wanted to leave, they accused management of being liars etc etc. Then EK gave you the well deserved annual profit share and all of a sudden, no more adverse comments on Pprune.

Life has taught me that people complain and grumble when things go wrong. This might also mean that there are many people happily employed with QR and only the same few enjoy bashing the company up. Perform a search and you'll know what I mean. Its always the same people complaining and claiming that they know best how to run an airline. What guarantees do people reading such posts have that these people are actually employed by QR? NONE. You also claim that QR would follow EK to the Moon. If its profitable for the airline, then why not?

Truth is out there

You guys, you know what? It's true, we should go about verbally bashing up any airline the way we see fit, but you must also understand that the circumstances are such where we are merely pointing out the actual story behind that pretty little cover.. I know so many things about the snake that would make even the lovers of QR feel sick. See people like us don't complain "ONLY" when things are down or if things aren't going our way...that is not my style anyway. To be honest, I have been reserving my comments from the very day I started training. Each day that went by, I learned new things about the company that shocked me. Personally I had a little taste of all the silly things they think is just. Ever heard of the British Law where a thief jumps into someones house with the intention to rob, he falls from the wall onto a garden rake and hurts himself. The owners wake up and call the cops. He sued them for "having dangerous garden equipment lying around where it shouldn't be". Now if you think that story is bad, think again..that is peanuts compared to the injustice that goes on at QA. By the way, I have some juicy news about the snake which could get him into trouble, but I was thinking maybe I'd get into trouble for just saying it out here. What do you think? How is it certifiable? I was there when he said those very slandering words. Hehe...Oooh yeah I love it when I have something on someone.

Thumbs up cabinscrew

I am sorry! you have to go through this! did you ever shared this with any of the cockpit crew personnel?

Unfortunately! for issues like the one you had experienced at QR people are not happy despite the work they have to perform under pressure! For us as a flight-deck crew, things may be a bit different but still we work under the wearing the hat non sense pressure and some other issues like the ones you have expressed, and that is one of the reasons why, I decided to leave QR...I wanted to suggest and endorse a few changes about the way the employees are treat and about the way the cock-pit and cabin crew relation issues are imposed by our royal majesty! but they never work! though never was I lisent. Anyhow my point is that, it is better to be cool than to be hot! I wish you the best and pm me if you need any job leads in the middle. best of luck!

The country and the people is a different story! Cheers,

Jet4Hire:

Qatar was the first Gulf country I visited way back in 1983 when my brother was working there. I visited several times prior to working there for QR. I have always liked the place and the people.

AAB is not Qatari but likes to think he is! QR deserves to be better in many ways, but as said so often before...he has to let the managers do their job and the airline would be happier...possibly! The crew work their butts off for no thanks at all...

The place and the people...lovely.

The crew...stars.

AAB and his tyrannical approach to running an airline...well...

...and to think he has sacked a couple of managers accusing them of poor man management!!! He only has to look as far as his loyal posterior attachment, The Snake, to witness poor man management...and AAB likes to lead by example eh?

BUnch of A**E of you ask me!!

oh and Jet4Hire...I always let the flight deck know the problems the crew faced on a daily basis...as in "sorry that the R1 forgot the sugar in your coffee, but she has just been told she will be demoted when she gets back... by the CEO who kindly informed her of this on the ground in front of the First Class pax...oh, for what? A strand of hair fell on her face!!!"

The man is mental!!
