Mmmm..cant say I fundamentally disaagree with Capt Snails...even their Arab "brothers" in the GCC have a particularly low opinion of them. You may think this is irrelevent but it applies to many of the Qatari management in QR who do mostly do their own thing.

look ,
I only hear about the tow companies and cities , but i know a lot about Gulf air in bahrain and it seems very much in between them , so why dont you give it a try and have the best of both worlds.

Hey guys,
did you ever realised that there might be other qatari as well then the one yopu see in the KFC and flying over Roundabouts in their cruisers???
If you would have ever met an well educated qatari you would know what I am trying to say! Hell, the average american or UK citizen isnt that great to look at either.....

Qatari515 if you make an effort to read my previous post you will find I said "the vast majority of Qatari's". Besides I'm not trying to convince anyone, Qatari's have built themselves quite a reputation in the Gulf without my help, all I'm doing is informing the uninformed.
If you don't like the truth then that's just tuff.
PS If you did'nt appreciate my example of the spoilt bratt in KFC look at the spoilt bratt called AAB who's closer to you. Pretty much the same as the KFC one. In fact one may argue that the KFC spoilt bratt can look forward to growing up and becoming an even bigger (not in size mind you) spoilt bratt like AAB who can abuse and disgrace even more people.

You definitely wouldn't want to make up your mind without hearing my views!
Living ... yes, folks, Doha is right up there with the most boring places on earth and the longer you are there the more boring it gets ... yawn ... Add to that a horrendous climate throughout the summer months.
Working for QR ... not nice whatever your job. Most people I know have taken the job because there's nothing better around at the time, found out that it's just as bad as they had heard, and left as soon as a better job comes along.

This thread has probably run its course Comanche. You will have seen a wide and varied number of opinions above. Probably best to make up your own mind, since the advice that you will get (Particularly when on the subject of QR) will ALWAYS be divided. The nature of the division makes it pretty well balanced. For every negative point about QR, there is also a positive point. (That last sentence pretty well sums it up for me.)
In this day and age and in view of the current employment situation, my advice would be dip a toe in the water before jumping in at the deep end.
Whilst some hate it, others love it. Whilst some positively detest it, others crave it. (applies to both Qatar and Qatar Airways).
Whilst what we have all said above may give you either a good or bad impression, it's really up to YOU to take it as YOU find it and make the most of it until YOU feel its time to move on.
You never know, a new CEO in a few months time may make a difference...

A300 man, a new CEO??????? Insh'alla....
I won't hold my breath!
I am sure a lot of people would consider reapplying if AAB left!
It would be lovely to see the people still there getting some relief. They work damn hard and get no thanks!
Comanche, A300 man is right...it depends on what you make of it...only YOU can decide!

THANKS TO ALL REPLYING.
I may try to hold out for an EK interview first, and if I am unsuccessful I will re-consider. Meanwhile, I have had two offers from low cost airlines, which I am seriously considering.
