Please read this about qatar airways. Its sick.

[Evanelpus]

g-string are you on a crusade?

Are you saying that none of this happens in Qatar?

It doesn't make good reading and, if true, goes to show what a backward organisation Qatar is. If it's not true, then the journo and newspaper who printed it should be ran out of town.

Just incredible that they still have applicants...

[airwjo]

well, they will always have, thats the fact, many people were (like me) and are blinded by their shiny shiny big aircrafts, 5 star non sense and so on

just look in other forums, some are already dreaming about direct entry 350!! (and this will happen, because caring for the own people - not existing)

so what do you expect?

cheers

Well someone somewhere must be doing something right as they are about to launch their Business Class only A319 flight to LHR.

Who in QR would have sorted that one out?

I worked for only eleven months of a three year contract in Doha and, if I could have escaped earlier, I would have done so! If you're desperate for a job, and QA is your only job offer/choice, then you must abide by their archaic rules and regulation. Otherwise, butt-out... don't try and inflict your short-sighted opinions of how great QA might be as your employer onto other people! QA cabin service might well be perceived as being a World Class product, however, the professional standard of the majority of the flight-crew community falls well short of what the travelling public perceive to be a quality international airline.

I have personally witnessed how senior Arabic management conduct their lifestyles and, for a nation which has so many restrictions upon the consumption of alcohol, they are the very people who flaunt their own rules/regulations. One only had to sit at the bar of the top floor bar of the Radisson Blu Hotel to witness 'pissed-up' local senior management trying to ply drink upon young girls (and boys) in an attempt to persuade them into acts of indecency.

Qatar is, in my humble opinion, a two-faced nation which is corrupt in so many ways that can only be expected of a nation with so much wealth.

Whilst that many cabin crew might perceive that their salary is acceptable, one must accept that the majority of the cabin crew come from much poorer nations where their equivalent income would be regarded as being quite wealthy.

For any Westerners who might be considering a 'career' with QA... think very carefully before making any commitment to being imprisoned within Qatar. You've been warned!

Dubai, arguably, is worse. I have for some years boycotted the region and its airlines. They are all tarred with the same brush, perhaps the tar stinks worse in some than others.
