Black Stain 25th Jul 2007 06:23

Sorry folks, necessary freedom of speach test for Qtel. "Qatari Police are you listening Testing 1 2 3... 4 5..."

homesick rae 25th Jul 2007 07:33

Black Stain, please go away and ruin another thread but not mine!:mad: Either get in the swing here or get lost!

Black Stain 25th Jul 2007 13:59

Stop whining Rae, am not rocking your boat, and I'm off now anyway. QTel have been raiding my computer and I needed to test here a new way to get around security. Yeah it works.

Thanks Sweetie and goodbye

Last I knew that JMc was "part time" / nice shifts out of LTN on a fairly decent buck for an Indian principal...

Cheers

HR

PS: Me and Mrs HR (also ex QR crew) on QR from LGW - DOH - CEB on Saturday...I believe one Mr. Dilan Grero is CS!!

flightlevelchange 27th Jul 2007 07:09

ahah yes now wasn't that Karim who jumped ship in london and took all the duty free moeny as well. Think Caroline Gam was the CS on that flight


Last I heard JM was full time on that contract and still there but not sure, will do a bit of digging

Hope everyone is well and safe flying....


FLC

A300Man 27th Jul 2007 07:59

JMc is doing very well. All over the world on a private operation for a wealthy owner. Expanding fleet too.

Dilan - say hi to him. He is a good guy. Is he on the LGW-DOH or the DOH-CEB sector??

Hope you and Mrs. HR have a great flight. If there is anything wrong with the service, tell Mrs. HR to march up to L1 and show them how it should be done!!!!! You could take R1!!

All the best!

homesick rae 27th Jul 2007 10:06

A300 Man:

Dilan is on the LGW - DOH sector I believe, Anglea Ukyab is CSD. Be good to see Dilan...recall a great MNL trip with him and Saida and Mustapha Dali.

No idea about the DOH-CEB leg but methinks I'll be sleeping on that one!:suspect:

One night in CEB then off to Negros.

Will be having a night in MNL as I have a couple of meetings in the Phils too.

All the best!

Great Memories
 
What a thread HR, allow me to pay a bow for that buddy.:D
I was in QR 1997---2003 and yes what a time I had there, I think those years were the best of my life in terms of friendship, exploring and acquiring new knowledge.
A300 Man I have to agree with you that Laura is a lady and has her own style.
BKK I think I can say who you are by now and one of the things I love about working with QR was to be with people like yourself.
Guys how come you all forgot about F.Shaikh , M.hassn ,K.Manzi but I can not remember her friend that nice English girl. Denees (if I am not misspelling the name )The other Riyadh , Elias shibir , K.Homsi T.desouza. Merell desouza and his Ausi girlfriend V.tewari (the General’s Daughter ) and her Gang .
I will come later to tell some of the stories and the fun we had there. We were crazy and did things I never thought I will do in my life.
HR I wish you and the Lady a nice time in PHIll and have one for me
Digna

homesick rae 28th Jul 2007 18:23

Yes, fun we had alright Digna....

Well, just arrived in DOH from LGW, kids in the play area supervised by Mrs HR. The QR flight 076 had our own Dilan Grero, operating as CS due to shortage of crew. Good to catch up with him and have just learned that Anis Lajnef has quit recently...another old hand.

Changed days flightwise from the B747 operation from LGW via CAI.

Recognised many of the QR ground staff, some who have been here for ages!

DOH-CEB in a couple of hours...who knows who is on that one!!

Cheers

HR

digna 2nd Aug 2007 21:22

Just wondering if any body here have a contact with Oma (Malasian), who worked for just 3 or 4 months. that was around 1999 I think!!
One of the flights that I will never forget was QR 001 30/12/1999, spent 31st in London and had a big party at the hotel, QR and Gf crew, it was very sweet of the QR ground Staff to bring Home cooked food with them, (K.Ma, Wi, Da) all were there, The F/D and The C.C requested this flight from September and it was good, The idea came from the Great A/JO :D bless him.

11223344 3rd Aug 2007 16:58

hullo hr -

do you remember the flight yo do to mnl (layover) where you had accident after one too many drinks? you passengered back 5 days later and also then you were having good time with the drinks, you always said that flight was best supportive crew.
you then worked with brian m then roster and schedule manager - his wife was viviennen the sole welfare officer at crew dept - both were your friends you used to tell us when you resumed flights.

yes good times they were.

homesick rae 6th Aug 2007 06:25

Digna, Chic...

Yes all good memories indeed.

Down here in the Phils we found some old pics with Luke Luwis, Nadia Tunbari and many more!

11223344: Ah you must have been there then! There was only one person with me (female FA) when I had my accident one lunchtime and, by the english it definitely wasn't you!. Oh AND I travelled back on EK in uniform and went straight into the office to chat with Romeo. So there goes that drinks theory! Ha ha! Brian McCreadie was my boss for 15months and a good one too. Vivienne was a colleague. Perhaps you should check your facts before trying to hijack the thread with derogatory remarks. Perhaps you can also tell me all about my accident, where and when it happened and how? But I will enlighten you with one thing, I had a nurse in my room for the first 24 hours afterwards...and it wasn't social!! LOL! Please feel free to PM me for any clarification and confirmation you might need to satisfy your warped mind. I'd be only too happy to oblige.

Digna: were you there when we did DOH AMM IST ATH ??

Good to see this thread going strong. 2 attempts to throw it off track have failed thus far. Let's keep the momentum going.

From the Philippines,

Cheers

How was DOH - CEB? Any notables onboard?

Homesick Rae

Would you come back to QR if there was a "regime" change? Just curious.....

digna 6th Aug 2007 14:00

Hi HR
no I was not I joined with the relaunch of QR one month after The CEO.
JOHNNY BOY!!!!
this thread is about people who invested some of their time in QR , some of us loved it or at least the bright side of it. and we still carry great respect to all those whom we worked with and lived with in Doha and QR as organization.
still some of us use QR for their travel.
me myself will always travel QR (J/C) of course whenever possible, at least I trust the training and I may meet a friend.
So what is SEX has to do with it??

hairy plotter 6th Aug 2007 17:49


So what is SEX has to do with it??
:confused::confused::confused::confused:
Everything absolutely everything my dear. QR has got probably the most sex obsessed staff I've ever seen. It seems to be the driver for nearly every action here. I wonder how couldn't you have noticed that feature.
By the way that thread sucks.

digna 6th Aug 2007 19:25

You know Johnny,
Life is still good and it is even better for some of us, I just wonder whether you have a friend with whom once you shared one thing, and that very thing you shared have reflected something on both of you. I am sure you will agree with me that whenever you have the chane to chat you will chat a littel about that thing. Got me ???
People who are posting here(in this thread) are not writing positive or negative, they Merely posting what they have lived one day and the sweet memories they still carry about that place.
have not seen old people having sex so I can't comment on that !!:rolleyes:
Diggee

11223344 6th Aug 2007 20:02

hr - the facts are clear. no one said you travelled qtr or ek on the way back. fyi - the incident occured because - as always - you were heavy on the drinks. the rest as you know mr. kw was common knowledge amongst the crew, including ms. hb's friends. now cut the snigger and stop pretending to be the full time loyalist that you claim to be. also why not mention the person after bm, equally corrupt and yet again your good friend until he too let you down and then you went on a trip about him. recall the training a-mk gave you in sep? she kept you in place didnt she? 2 people that kept you in place were bg (aussie or kiwi bloke) and a-mk. i left 7 months after you.

ps: Would you come back to QR if there was a "regime" change? Just curious..... ...........of all the ex staff can you please stay away, even if a regime change was in place - big favor to qr.

homesick rae 7th Aug 2007 05:34

A300 Man,

Johanna Ysrael was the CSD so that was nice to see her. I won't say too much for fear of my good friend 11223344 carrying on his rant as he seems to know so much...yet so little, regarding facts.

Johnny Boy, sex...yes better than anything!

Cavelino: No, I would not go back to QR. It is sad to see the crew looking so stressed on the flights but, as always....working so hard. The service was excellent without a doubt.

11223344: the only kiwi I know at QR is Neil Finlay, so other than that I have no idea what you are on about and quite frankly I don't care mate.

Digna: hope biz is going well

Cheers

HR

A300Man 7th Aug 2007 17:06

Oops, some grumpiness creeping-in from one of the new members for some unknown reason.......... (The only other "down-under" BG who existed to my knowledge was the great Mr. Gates himself.)

Another long serving staff member (and who is still there, to my knowledge) is Bobby!

11223344 7th Aug 2007 19:38

hr - you seem so touchy my dear. thought you were on holiday with hb and kids. anyway you seem to have forgotten the sep with amk and the way she kept you in place. come on mate stop ponifying as it do no good to your fascade.

were you on the amber liquid when you wrote - It is sad to see the crew looking so stressed on the flights but, as always....working so hard. The service was excellent without a doubt -
nothing comes easy stupid. you claim to be successfull now dont tell us poor souls that you aint working equally hard. unless........of course!

kw (= ke. wil....) now run along to where you feel most cozy - the pub. bye for now dearie and try not to get the cold feet.

digna 7th Aug 2007 20:39


QR has got probably the most sex obsessed staff I've ever seen.
Sorry to hear that, wasn't like that during our time. Opsession NOOOOh :rolleyes:
11223344, Working hard does not necessarily stress people.:= I do work very hard but I do enjoy every bit of what I do. fear and bad management stress people for sure.
HR Biz is good and the best is yet to come.
A300 Man thanks for reminding me of Bobby what is he now? CSD ?
BG,,, He once asked for a White Wine on a flight, but the crew did not have a wine opener (that was after 9/11 and the security measures). the CS was newly promoted and the F1 was a senior who was recently demoted All they could do was to push the cork down the bottle, and hold it in a way that BG would not see it. But they will honest enough to tell him when he came back to DOH so something could be done about that.
chic , Did you work long for QR ??

11223344 7th Aug 2007 21:41

digna - Working hard does not necessarily stress people - yes that is agreed but what our friend HR was saying was that the crew "looked" stressed. oh come on, anyone else saying that would have been ok but not from HR. he epitomised stress and panick, especially after a long night of hugging the bottle. HR needs to look inwards prior to commenting about things outside.

i can almost see HR gulping the last swig before heading off to the nearest free internet cafe down manila-way to shoot off his 2 cents. carefull dearie your fingers are trembling - not due to anger but due to the 750ml.

tchh tchh cha cha - feel sorry for hb.

homesick rae 8th Aug 2007 08:42

A300 Man,

Ah yes Bobby. Is he CSD yet? Had forgotten about Bob Gates. Used to see him up the golf club.

What about Grant Cookson? Wasn't there for long but was involved in a bit of training etc.

Ah well, got to go, it's Happy Hour! LOL!

Cheers

HR

A300Man 8th Aug 2007 11:00

Yes, I think Bobby actually now is a CSD. At least I hope so!

Others:

Trevor Rocha is now a Purser with Emirates;
Namrata is with the above in the UAE;
Jeanette Jiminez now has a successful business in Doha;
Does anyone remember the Austrian CSD Monika, who used to greet passengers at the door whilst holding a clipboard, and also used to call ALL passengers by their first name only?
The lovely Celedonia Lott is now back at QR and still fabulous;
Julie Nicholls is working in Dubai, I think;
Emily Taper is now married in London;
Azman is reportedly starting his own business in Singapore;
Soavanee left QR and joined GF for five minutes, before moving to Emirates. Lovely girl;
Suzan Alawac is now in QR training;
Blerta Sokoli has now left flying and is living in Doha I think;
Haydee Pangan ditto;

What about Ruby??

11223344 8th Aug 2007 20:01

a300man - trevor is with EK and so too is namraata. she is joining as a ccm. azman is also here along with trevor.

hr - you say : Had forgotten about Bob Gates. Used to see him up the golf club : :eek:

how strange you are hr - you either have a short memory span or intoxicated or you suffer amnesia-when-it-suits-me or a cocktail of all. now run along to the happy hour dearie before you are a minute too late and 2 drinks too less of your max capacity. hypocrite:*.
how dare you say you forget the one and only robert gates. you used to be his little poodle at the golf club when he used to play golf with david flemming.

run along k.n w.....son the pub is beckoning you.

A300Man 9th Aug 2007 04:44

11223344,

This thread is a good humoured one and it is an opportunity for those who want to recall their time with QR and makes for a welcome change from all the other stuff that is usually posted about the company today. There were good times, you know!

You are ruining it by attacking some of the correspondents who are posting here, and you are focussing on personal attacks on certain individuals.

So, please either get into the proper mood and participate in a proper way and stop the personal slanging, OR, it is best not to visit the thread at all.

With regard to Azman, when did he move to Dubai? Are you sure he is there? Good news if he is! He was one great guy actually. What about yourself - what are you now doing in Canada? (I see from your profile you are now based in Canada). Are you flying there for one of the airlines?

Thanks,
A300Man

Princess Layover 9th Aug 2007 07:58

Ahhh... sweet memories you say?
Dont make me laugh.
I wonder how many people would have liked to stay a bit longer at Quick Resignation, but were asked to leave for no particular reason.
Thats a thread I would like to have a read of.
For example, I recently was heard of someone who was told they were TOO OLD to remain with the company and sent home.
Someone who was told sorry you have children, we dont hire women with children anymore...
and thats just off the top of my head.
Enjoy your traipse down memory lane, you robots. Hope one day you find your way into the real world.

A300Man 10th Aug 2007 09:16

Princess Layover,
We are remembering the fabulous PEOPLE (Colleagues and Friends) who were at QR and with who many forumers have good memories and had good times working with and who became part of their lives, for one reason or another. This thread is nothing to do with the airline company or the problems of the company or the current difficulties.
So, it is a trip down memory lane for many......
11223344 - I will be over in your part of the world on Business next week. Perhaps we can catch up for a chat? Are you in Toronto?

N24 10th Aug 2007 14:38

Flew with QR from MUC to DOH in 2002. Remember this very tall, blonde flight attendant. She wore a lot of eye shadow and must have been around 5'10. Gorgeous to say the least! Amanda, could it be? Is she still around?

digna 11th Aug 2007 09:35

A 300 Man
Thank you for trying to keep the thread focused on,
Whether some like or not. There was (and may be still) good people, whom company was very pleasurable, even under the most stressing Situations. That what made it unforgettable days to me.
Hey!! where Is M.Badwan used to be called (Bad one), Tarig The Quite Lebanese Guy. Lubna belel the tunisian, L.Agami, and the somali block (S.F.H.Abdi). such good people!
I am sure will visit Doha one day when my schedule permits.
I still miss The Iranian Kebab Guy. (Somewhere near the boys building)

N24 11th Aug 2007 14:49

ChicDolly, I'm confident her name began with an E. Not sure if she was South African but white and very service minded and kind!

A300Man 12th Aug 2007 14:56

Maybe it is Amanda Ward that N24 is referring to? Or Debbie E?

11223344 12th Aug 2007 16:08

hr - hey where are you old chap? gone truly silent. knocked-out at a pub is it?

chicdolly - why are you mentiong the names of females that went out with mohamed the sudanie? try and keep awar from that.

a300man - give a call when you get in.

A300Man 12th Aug 2007 17:10
