Long story and not even worth mentioning it!

Treat your cabin crew nicely and you will get so much OJ that you wont be able to swallow it anymore!

Treat them badly and all you will see is a bottle of Rayan water!

Easy and straightforward system, isnt it?

Thank you guys, EY looks like Heaven to me now compared to QR...
Come over! We have cubic meters of fresh orange juice (or carrot juice, no discrimination)!
More seriously, I just feel sorry for your work environment! Even if 50% is true, it's terrible .

C'mon...


From what I have heared EY is not better!

OK, you live in the UAE but thats about the only difference!

Hogan and his heroes are acting in the same way as our beloved leader, planning is **** and rosters are worse!

Company housing is a joke and training dept is a mess!

At least QR is a bit more ahead and pays better!

QR or EY....same **** different country!

Only company that truly sticks out might be EK, all the rest are exactly the same!

More importantly how many pilots have resigned from Goat to work with Ethihad? Many I think?

How many have left Etihad for Goat? Zero I think?

Has a single pilot gone to Etihad and then returned to the Goat? No I think?

Has a single pilot that left Goat for Etihad complained bitterly on this forum? No I think? But now is the time time to speak up if Closterman is right?

One pilot did quit Goat, went to AA, Kuwait and Jordan, then back to Goat. Serious anger management issues.... Now what does all that say about Goat?

Let's check and see:

Anyone want to come back to Goat??

Two Dogs.....

Well said!

I don't know of anyone who has come from EY or EK. Many have left QR for EY/EK and many more are planning (so they say) to leave. Nobody returns or complains after leaving here, which means that quality of life, working environment and/or money are better.

Pay

QR does not pay more than EY. The hourly flight pay is higher in QR, but the starting basic pay is 35,000 in EY compared to around 26,000 in QR. General benefits and bonus are higher in EY. The package comes out slightly better at EY but not worth moving for, having said that, depending on the impact of oil prices (freeing up pilots from other sources) the wages in the Gulf should increase substantially. I think at the moment the majors here operate a Cartel that is keeping the wages down, but it only takes one .......... It would be nice if QR became the leader.

Are you a 23 year old Chinese girl trying to escape your village to make a new life, regardless of being treated like a 5 year old? If yes, come on down. Otherwise, well you get the message......

You can come to the roadshow but you need the doc to amputate your brain and flatten the butt. As OrryFace rightly told you QAR needs brainless devot servants not the pros in the cabin. You'll quit after 6 months or right away as many others before you. Stir clear of QAR.

747 crew:
Don't think so:
Indeed Q.R. is mainly recruiting female C.C.(ladies& gays...), but if you are a(real) male sure there will be job for you as well...

By the way if you desperatly need a job ONLY for money and "quality of live" is not a major factor for you:join QR.

Otherwise try EK .

Cheers.

Let's do test 747-crew to see if you are suitable, I'll ask questions, yes?

Imagine sit in front of frail bald catamite in wedding dress:
1. Are you afraid? Y/N
2. Do you make small joke about dress? Y/N
3. He ask if you are loyal to master? Y/N
4. Cabin crew R like Bee. Some crew exist only to work? Y/N
5. Do you want to be Worker Bee? Y/N
6. Do you want to be Bossy Bee? Y/N
7. Will you report to him all evil you see? Y/N
8. Pilot is just greedy taxi-boy? Y/N
9. Do you hate all asshole pilot? Y/N
10. Does your gratitude have limit? Y/N


Quick reply I will and good luck

Amusing!

QR is hitting the road and recruiting for cabin crew in both America, Canada and again in England. How long do you think the Americans and Canucks will last and actually put up with in QR? Zip! We know how the Brits and other Western crew have responded to their mental maltreatment. Should be interesting to see. Very, very, very interesting.

Talking Q7 Fairy Tales (we wish!)

Once upon a time, Two Dogs rear-ended a car on his way to work. So, there 2Ds was, stopped on the side of the ring road, and the other driver got slowly out of his car.

2D couldn't believe his (very bad) luck.... the other driver was none other than the poisened DWARF (a.k.a 'Wacky Acky')!!!

The poisened DWARF stormed over to 2D's car and shouted, 'I'M NOT HAPPY!!!'

2D couldn't help himself and shouted back 'Well, if you aren't HAPPY, which bloody one are you?'

And then the fight started..........and they didn't live happily ever after

(Apologies to all who don't know about Snow White)

And later that evening at the White House:

"Poison, Poison, where are you? Dinner's ready Poison"

Poison eventually swaggers into the house on stumpy legs with a big grin.

"Poison why are you smiling, have you terminated someone at work again?"

Not that easy to make a lot of money in QR.

Also, if you definitely want to get out of England, Qatar is the place! Especially when they ban you from leaving the country for doing something that doesn't suit them. Lovely! No more days off in DXB or MLE!

Like London boy say, no easy money to be squeesed here. You wear the uniform, you must salute. If you need escape from real world no matter what the cost then Goat Airways good cave. Everyone in cave here. Even CEO in cave now, too scared to parade up and down all day long like in old times.

Bring a torch....
