Gulf Air

Etihad, Qatar, Emirates.

Emirates is the only one that needs to make a profit and in the current climate....

Which? One.
Cheers!

Last CP B767 was likely who he was referring too.

I think most would agree EK has always been the airline for the ME. Etihad has the quicker upgrade but a bit messy and disjointed. I do remember years ago, those that didn't make it through the EK interview went up to Etihad and found work...

Hi all.
Is the day to day life ( esp for the family) very different in Dubai/Abudhabi and Doha or more or less the same? In terms of facilities/things to do/ schools/ any discrimination??
Thanks!

QR or Ey which one should i work for?
 

Hi people

I am fortunate to have an offer with both comapnies but don't know which to choose as they both offer the same package. How come there are always negative comments on pprune.org about QR, surley there are people on here that work for QR and are very happy in their job?????????? Please can anyone give me some advice, thanks:ugh:

Both are comparable. Similiar fleets. I would compare lifestyle/QOL in Doha vs. AUH as well as potential upgrade time. Fleet offer might also make a difference - if you are offered 777 at QR and A320/A319 at EY that might be a consideration depending upon your preferences of short haul vs. long haul.

Why don't you tell us about your impressions of QR and EY too. Is there a big pay difference for newhires?

-Same package: well not sure:

-(BASIC much more higher with EY ,but flying allowance less, so for a regular month not that much difference between EY& QR, only when you don't fly (leave..)you will see the difference with EY,Don't known about the end of service benefit in EY,but surely again based on the BASIC,so..

-Last but not least:Kindly note that the annual increase on the basic with EY is not time limited.
In QR after..4 YEARS ONLY in the respective grade you don't have any increase!!I don't known if they don't want people to stay too long here or what, but looks very strange to me!
So if you plan for long term..Definetly EY package will become better.

-Abu Dhabi is not DOHA and vice&versa.
Cheers.

From another angle
 

I know of many pilots that left QR to join EY, but I don't know anyone who left EY to join QR.

NCM,

If you are going to base your choice on what is posted here, PLEASE choose EY!:yuk:

:DThanks guys for all your responses. So far i have come to the conclusion that i really like the sound of EY and feel ok but not fantastic about QR. As this is a new venture into aviation for me, as far as monies and type of aircraft i will be working on, well honestly its just all blown over my head i don't really understand any of it and suppose won't know about which aircraft i will be on until training, so i am non the wiser but thanks for the advice.
With regards to the countrys i just love to learn about new cultures and customs so Doha or Abu Dhabi i don't mind. I guess my main concern was if Qatar was a place you could live long term and QR an airline you could work for long term or if people generally forfilled their contract and left? My situation at the minute is that Etihad training doesn't start till end of sep (they are waiting for aircraft) whereas Qatar i can go end of april. Do i wait for EY and hope they don't withdraw the offerr come september (credit crunch is only getting worse not better) or do i go with QR and be safe in the knowledge i have a great job?:confused: I guess this is only a question i can answer, but i was hoping for an insight and you guys have given me that so thanks very much i really appreciate it:ok:

I guess you a cabin crew.But even as a cabin crew.Life in EY is better.Don't even think.Go to EY .

Hello NewCrewMember ,

Can you tell us when did you apply for this both airlines?
What was the assassment for those airline?
What is your experience?

Thanks.

Long-term career in QR? Nothing is certain down there. Most people don't even seem finish their two year contract because they either flee or get sacked before the end of it.

I stayed for three and a half years but I also had my reasons.

Probably not a question i should ask but in your experience would it be easy to start with Qatar and then leave to work for etihad? I know i have to pay monies back to Qatar but that aside how easy would this be. Would Qatar quickly withdraw my visa on resignation and ban me from re entering the middle east?
