Lufthansa May Install First Class On Some A350s?!? 4. tenured flight attendants may be able to dictate their flying roster better This is very different than the story that’s going viral about a pilot who was charged ~$162K, as there was a lot more to that story. One Mile at a Time is owned by PointsPros, Inc. I’m not saying that what they are doing is an ethically good thing, I’m just saying there is good financial justification for this. Outside of banner ads published through the Boarding Area network, this compensation does not impact how and where products appear on this site. If you have any concern for human rights in general, Qatar and any of its companies should not be high on your list. Memories are short. I hope this company becomes bankrupt. On the upper levels, employment package include free medical, dental and prescriptions benefits, nominal inclusive rents, free annual round trip airfare and private school fees for a family. It is very interesting, and shocking, that both the newest and the oldest cabin crew of QR are being given the pink slip. Qatar Airways has announced it'll fire a "substantial" number of employees including cabin crew members as the aviation industry has come to a halt due to COVID-19. QR seems to be firing – Qatar Airways cabin crew will now be allowed to continue to work for the airline while pregnant, the company has said.. The next few days Qatar Airways was heavily criticized by the public for the leaked information yet they purport to ensure their clients’ travel information remains confidential.

Qatar Airways still don't allow their employees to Marry, they are forced to resign if they wish to Marry. Didn’t even have the decency to fire me. Companies should keep their most effective employees. @ Norris Lee Couldn’t agree with you more…. I think loyalty should be rewarded, but performance should not be overlooked. Required fields are marked *. British Airways pay is too low and again not everyone can work for them…Even if I ever applied with them it won’t give me the same living standard and easy life an M3 company gives me. They must have joined before 2005, and back then QR was a very different airline from what it is now. It seems QR can hire tons of people who are willing to work under their restrict rules, so why keep the most expensive crews when you want to cut costs? It isn’t easy to get into the flight attendant or pilot field. @ Upperdeck Johnny Qatar Airways work according to rules and regulations. He travels about 400,000 miles a year, primarily using miles and points to enhance his first class experiences. No income or sale taxes but you cannot buy property. WIth this publicity coup, I am sure that their poor working conditions will be forgiven. I think firing 5k crew will cost QR more than keeping them with reduced basic salary. Is this how Qatar operates?” asked a one Jenifa Ochwo, also a vocal critic of the ruling National Resistance Movement. And that’s before they include the savings on not paying for staff accommodation and in going training. The youngest and the oldest ones I interacted/dated with while flying QR were almost all intellectual, very professional and attractive (unlike 90% of other airlines). Shame on you for continuing to do this and ignoring readers who have called you out on this. Reminder: OMAAT comments are changing soon. Cutting the most costly employees is a very reasonable measure for any company. Quite frankly, it is beyond me why anyone would want to work for them for so many years? Al Baker also said the company has laid off over 11,000 employees due to the challenges posed by Covid-19, and “several thousand more employees” are likely to be laid off in the coming months. So why don’t they leave? # the ones trained but likely to be in their probation period which usually allows dismissal or resignation with no cause or notice (something quite common even in employee friendly countries in Europe) So it might seem brutal to me, but dismissing the longest-serving F/As fits with Qatar’s national policy (I’d guess >99% of F/As are expats). I know that airline members have to meet standards and are required to have reviews like every other company. They will fire you as they like long before the covid19 pandemic. Required fields are marked *. What happened to protection of your clients’ information?” aksed Patrick Kanyomozi, the President of Uganda Sports Press Association – USPA who is also a vocal supporter of Bobi Wine and the NUP. It is ironic that you are hypocritical towards people in other countries but become unhinged to those who do the exact same things here. People leave after 2, 3 years because the life is so boring but people who enjoy the lifestyle in Qatar can stay here long. I just wanted to point out that it is a blanket statement that these people have little skills or training. For example, recently you falsely refer to South African and Qatar crew getting “fired” on your blog, but have used the appropriate terminology of “lay-off” in other instances, such as with British Airways. Maybe they are changing their business model post Covid and realizing that in-flight service is going to be drastically different in the future and experience is not going to matter that much any more. Read about the employment culture inside Amazon, except the IT staff, managers and executives, and you will see more similarities with those overseas employers who you condemn. Reports making rounds suggest that award-winning international cargo carrier Qatar Airways has fired up to Twenty (20) employees for leaking sensitive confidential client travel information to the public. DOHA, QATAR. Employment benefits come with the status of the position. Thats how it is with most airlines and even companies outside of airlines. Complain about QATAR all you like, but many of those ( legitimately) expressing deep concern about the ethics of the airline will soon be back onboard…and proclaiming it to be the best airline flying, mostly on the basis of the brand of champagne /caviar served, or the excellence of its lounges. I guess you are one of theses propels who think you are better than everyone else. But Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said the reporter who wrote the article was "throwing stones for no reason at all". And never an airline I would fly with because of their country’s inequality and treatment of people. The reduction of jobs – also at Qatar Airways – should not come as a surprise. You might be travelling all around and seing many pretty FA make up and stuff so yoi think they are doing kind of modeling.. So are you claiming that those who worked below 15 years are expandable, where do you draw a line on this? I am not saying it is nice; but it is not. Certainly it was far less critical than other comments I have seen on this site and was completely relevant to the posting. Getting fired is a little different from being laid off. This site is for entertainment purposes only. Nonetheless QR is laying off a lot of employees to the point where if we are back to pre covid-19 levels by late 2022 (when Qatar will host the World Cup) I can see QR recruiting a lot of new employees spring/summer 2022. I just read your comment about FA skills so I want to clarift something since am one of them. I agree with Qatar airways model that seniority doesnt mean anything, you still have to work hard. Get the inside scoop on jobs, salaries, top office locations, and CEO insights. Memories are short. Karma will be a bitch to those people. For now, i would just wait and see if this comes true – but based on what is known about Qatar working conditions – I wouldn´t be too surprised if they lay off the old flight attendants to cut costs (higer salary). # the ones that cannot be utilised because they are not in Doha Following a now-viral letter from a former pilot, the Qatari national carrier is now, once again, accused of ageist policies against its cabin crew.
