Also, he interferes in the personal lives of the crew. Goldstone, I agree with you whole heartedly!
I am still feeling the effects, on a financial note, due to his tyranny...but so are two other people who used to be my friends.
Sadly, he does not see reason and is always far too quick to wield the axe.
I too could go on...

Yes, I have a wife and child to think about and money isn't everything...however when you are rebuilding, well, you could do without that extra burden.
AAB should not have let me leave the country...3 months after I left I was getting phone calls from personnel (KM) asking for signatures!!
It was never my intention to leave a loan, but then crew sometimes get no choice. But what goes around comes around and I firmly believe AAB will get his comeuppance in due course!
Whilst contributing to threads etc is entertaining, I will never be free of QR until that loan is repayed!
By the way, a word of warning to all, CBQ ignore all emails and offers of repayment...

Well Guys and Girls, what can I say except thank you for the advice to leave QR employment well alone.
For nearly a month in response to my original question, there was not a single reply and then all this!!
Quite a number of colleagues at my current airline have been watching with interest and most have made up their mind along the same lines.
Obviously, I hope that it all improves for the sake of the current employees.
Thanks again.

I think you should try to get in touch with a member of flight deck crew in order to find out from the horses mouth what it's like to work for Qatar airways as a pilot, and not as a flight attendant or engineer. No offense to anyone naturaly, but I think you hear too many biased oppinions from people who are unhappy in Qatar for reasons which may not necessarily affect you. I may be wrong!
Would be nice to read at least one post from a member of flight deck who could give some positive publicity regarding flying in Qatar Airways.

Angels40,
I could't aggree more but there doesn't seem to be any F/D that want to express an opinion. That is probably one of the most concerning things about this thread.
Not so long ago, a pilot posted a question on what it was like to operate with my company (not just P & C's and how bad the management are!), and in my opinion, got a pretty good insight as to what it was really like and as a result, recruitment has gone very well.
If nobody wishes to give any actual details, OK, but I would be very keen to hear WHY they don't want to pass on any tips etc.

I totally agree with ChevySS and I have to admit that it was about time that somebody opend up his mouth!
Somebody asked what the good things where about flying for QR:
well errr.....
airplanes are well maintained and allways neat!
We still hva great service on board
It has a lot of potential as a company....unfortunately they are throwing it away
Untill now we have a lot of expats to keep the safety up a little....
If we all survive this maybe we will get lucky and take some advantage of the growth....

If there are not many QR pilots posting on here it could be because apparently a few months back they were warned that any QR flight deck found to have been posting on PPRUNE would be fired.
That's the kind of guy the CEO is. Doesn't want to rule your life or anything, however .....
Latest firing is Veronica from Marketing. No good reason apparently. Amy who was in Commercial and then Emergency Planning has joined BA in Paris.
The guy now running Cargo is apparently no more than an AAB puppet. If Snackbar says jump, he leaps. Incapable of making a decisions of his own.
AAB is speaking at the Aviation Club lunch in London on Thursday. Wish I could be there. Wonder what the title of his speech is? How to run an airline????

All Qatari staff off course....everybody should speak up....its about time dont you think!
And believe me, we owe it to ourselves and to the company because if things continue the way they are now QR is going to crash and burn sooner than we can immagine and t be honest....I still like the company too much to see that happening!!

Hi folks,
Have been reading all your posts re Qatar with interest. I'm not an airline worker but merely planning a trip from LHR to DXB in June and have been offered flights with Qatar via Doha.
I've never actually heard of this airline before and was just wondering how safe/reliable/enjoyable this airline actually is?
After reading some of the posts re bottles getting jammed under rudders and local pilots not being as competent as others i must admit im getting a bit concerned. Do i have good cause to be worried or are they a safe bet?

The crew tried that before - i.e. to write en-masse tp Pprune and see what reaction they got. Unfortunately, none, except the "circulated" warning that anyone caught doing it would be sacked! Or at least, life made hell with bad rosters, etc.
As always noted - AAB loves all this attention and nonsense, and he actually thrives on it. So, personally, I don't think posting here makes any difference to him.

Qatar Airways is an excellent company to fly with as a passenger. Yes, there is a lot written here about standards and all that. However, you will not find a harder working Cabin Crew in the skies. believe me. Try them out. I am sure that you will be impressed.

I know but I feel very strongly about what's happening out there!
Highflyer
QR are safe, reliable and generally have a wonderful service...and, in case they don't make the announcement prior to lbars closing ( might wake the pax up, ha ha) the bar closes 45 mins before landing...usually!
FYI QR advertising for flgiht dect in Flight International!!!?

I totally agree with that....QR is a very safe and reliable airline and the cabin crew will do anything in their possibilities to make your flight as comfortable and safe as possible.
Regarding the remarks made here about the problems in the cockpit...those are ment to be professional remarks by and for pilots and crew. These are details that are our pride being a pilot and it is our duty to look after them well!
But the whole system of safety is made so reliable and their are so many safety catches built in that these items will not affect the safety as a passenger!
So plse fly QT and make up your own mind about comfort but do not worry at all about safety.....the standards are very high! Thats one thing AAB did right......about the only thing but hey....
