1- you go around; nobody will question you.

Not true.

Despite what is written in the Part A, more than one person has been called to the safety office when a go-around was performed but the company decides that, after a review of the data, a stable approach could have been accomlished.

Flight Data records

Regarding the flight data. When a parameter is exceeded, it is flagged and examined by the "gatekeeper". If deemed necessary, the gatekeeper may phone up and have a chat with the pilot(s) involved. If there is a good explanation, then no further action is taken. If not, then the issue is handed over to one of the fleet supervisors. The fleet supervisor may then call in the pilot(s) involved for an interview and review. If it is a serious matter and there is some issue with the individual(s), then there may be more serious consequences.

In my limited experience working for Qatar Airways, there have not been any terminations without just cause. There are other aspects of working here which bear closer examination (and evaluation for potential employees), but unjustified termination does not, currently, seem to be one of them.

Edit to correct spelling

- braking the company policy several time
... and the company policy or rules are set up by the CEO, somewhat aleatory, so there is room for anything ...

like dating hosties, leaving the country on days off, applying to other companies, not wearing the hat in taxis etc.

since when is it not legal to leave the country on your days off as cockpit crew, if you have a multi-exit permit? does cockpit crew have the same regulations as cabin crew? i havent heard of that yet.

You can leave the country on Days off.... you just need a Multi-exit-visa (500QR) and you get it after 3 months. Also, b4 3 months you have to ask if you can leave and get a single exit visa.

You are not allowed to date hosties. Get caught screwing the crew or if someone doesnt like you and reports your indiscretion, then you will have a very high chance of being sacked.

Cant live together with a opposite sex unless your married.

You dont need to wear a hat in the taxi. I have never been told about that.

You dont get sacked immediately for an unstable approach unless it was clearly blatent defiance of the SOP's. You will get questioned generally. But yes, sacking are high here, but partially can blame alot of the SOP's changes and the fear of more rumour and not enough facts.... this not enough facts is simply by the complete lack of communication problem here...... its company wide issue.

Not to mention if you do decide to date a hostie, you can't even drop her off at work since there is a rule they cannot be in a car with any male not related unless a taxi or professional driver.

And since she has to be back in her apartment by 3am (even on days off) good luck getting some 'quality time' with her away from her flatmates!! :/

And some of the EK flight attendants think they have it bad- at least their personal life is (pretty much) their own business- unless of course they do something dumb enough to get in the papers...

The wearing hat in taxi might be a wire cross on the rule for cabin crew- hats on in buses/taxis even with curtains closed unless purser otherwise specifies.

I've had all this direct from both ex and current QR cabin crew, so they are not just rumours. It's a brave guy who decides to jump that fence, so to speak... I guess that explains a LOT about QR crew on layovers.... bahahaha.....
