 Beautybyshikha - Well try Lankan  airways instead and you can have some regular breaks by the sea in Jaffna. The place looks peaceful now atleast in the papers

I just moved to qatar and looking for job from usa..Can anyone recommend me ..i dont mind working for qatar airways:)

util you're inside.  No risk no glory. If for now you have reservations (thanks to some advises on board), the QA is not for you!

I think it's a good chance you should take , don't forget you will be free to leave when u want .

Have a nice day

helpful, that was my point....

Qatar Rail...

i was actually goin through ur argument with flyinace.

well i would like to know r u an employee of qatar airways??? and what department r u in? u must be so happy with the airline that ur talking so much on behalf of it.

well as an employee of QR i must tell everyone that even if u do well or bad its upto them to fire u. never expect anythin out of working hard in QR bcoz through experience i know that u can only fall in to more trouble by doing so.

just do ur normal work and stay out of involvement as much as u can.

for a beginer i must say QR is a good place for u to gain experience in many ways, so why not take the challenge.

all the best!!!

betaint, Its True there are People who are Working for more then 8 years, but it's true as well, there are People WHo Got Fired for doing nothing, they were Working for QA for more then 8 Years...

Chocolate , how you doing ?? Listen don't worry ,you don't have to cover your head + it's very open country and most important it's very safe , I know ppl work for QA more than 8 years .

If you have any more questions I will be happy to answer you , you can send me to my mail if you wish [email protected]

Have a nice day .

Soniya, QA also follows Qatari Labour Law same as any other qatari company. Here in any company the work culture is different then ur home country. and few people are nt able accept that fact n get frustrated easily... thats doesnt mean company policies are not upto the mark.

Also there are people on this thread who has got lot of negative points for QA but they still wants job in QA....

@nowreasonforsmile: villas are not from one end to other end of Qatar, they are nearby and at walkable distance. I can say that becz i have to walk around all the villas almost everyday. and earlier all the departments used to be in QR tower but becz of the increase in employees its not possible to keep all the departments in one single building. 

@chocolate : as i told u earlier, rules are strict and it has to be becz of the reputation of the company. Decision is all urs...

BNB, i agreed with flying ace....

One of my friend was working with QA few years back...He really got frustrated with the job because of hire and fire policy....He had seen many leaving the job of QA for this reason only...

Anyways, i am not concerned with it...hope the policy of QA has been changed and improved now....

You don't need an nOC if your passport has not been stamped by under your present company

qatar air ways is nice company  you have to try at lest working here no problem at all trust on Allah and come doha every thing will be ok

hopefully they do not also promote a culture of  filling the ranks with a grouping of brothers,  brothers in law, relatives and friends like some of the companies tend to do out here which goes to spoil and corrupt the work atmosphere and also leads to unneccessary clashes by other workers against this mafia groupings of relatives

I recieved a call from qatar airways a while ago to have a pre medical exam. But I hope my company here in doha will release me.. I'm on the 3 months probationary period stage in my current company now.. So any time I can terminate my contract with in my probation period, but do you guys think they will give me NOC after the termination of my contract? I am local hire..

And they are strict too...

1- Be ready for long working hours.2- Be ready to roam from one villa to another villa to collect ur uniforms,exit permit than accounts and than ye than vo than this than that...becoz they dont have a big supercool office for all things....U have to do a lot of leg work which is more than tiring..So be ready for unbelievable hardest leg work.(DONT TRUST ME NOW BUT ONCE U JOIN U WILL REMEMBER ME CRYING) and that leg work by wearing high heels.3- Be ready for the strickest environment full of backbiters by which u can get fired any moment any time.They have one of the most firing and hiring atmosphere.4- U are not entitled for any free thing at all.And they mean it.(ONCE U JOIN U WILL REMEMBER ME FOR IT TOO)5- And they have BIG MAMAs to keep an eye on u all the time.U take one drink out with some buy and u will be handed over your dear firing letter within 24 hours.6- And dont worry your own roommates are big supporters of higher authorities to keep them inform about u.7-They are***** airlines and they have their own norms to make it clear to all employees that HOW TO BEHAVE....8- Again be ready for long working hours,hiring firing air,no freebees and no jokes or nightouts...They know well how to handle the cats.....And damn they are damn good in it....

thank you all for your answers and I hope there will be other comments on this topic :)

Yes beautynbrain, QA is the winner of Skytrax, I'm aware of that. Living and working abroad is a big challenge for myself and I have so many questions on my mind. That's why I asked for help. Thanks a lot for your comments. I always thougt Dubai is better than Qatar, maybe it's because of the advertisements, Idont know... 

bnb, no comments on the Airline of the Year Award..... But the Thank you message from the CO on the Company mail was a Nice one.... :P

I_Love_chcolate, Every Organization has Goods and Bads in it, but my advice don't go on this Forum, Make your Own Desicion and Don't Get Confused....  

You can PM me if you have got any specific questions, and I'll try to get them answered.FlyingAce - I don't work for QA, but my company too fires people for doing nothing ;) As a matter of fact it is mentioned in the contract.  

i guess this is never ending topic between me and flying ace.

but Ms. Chocolate, hope u r aware that QA has won the award for best airlines and you might be aware of the achievements. also everywhere in the world, cabin crews has to follow certain rules as they are the face of the airline. If you are scared abt the rules of Qatar then let me tell you that Qatar is nt as free as Dubai but its safe as compare to dubai.

FlyingAce, do you have so many friends who works for QA?Is it a bad company or is it just you who doesn't like it?

Flying Ace, employees of QA does their job and gets paid for it...if work not done they should nt be in QA.. also there are people in each n every company who leaves the company even after they got promoted as per their wish without serving notice period just becz they are getting better offer in other company. so if u r working upto the standard then no company will ask you to leave.

bnb, Ya Employess who were here working for 7 years or more, Who did everything for QA, and in the End what happened, They didn't even got the Certificates of Courses they did in QA.....  Leave the Gratuity

Is she happy with her job?If it is possible could you please ask her that, do I have to pay something  in case of resignation? 

flying ace... i m sure u may have people who got fired for doing nothing... QA will nt tolerate people who does nothing

azamat, actually the Curfew time is 12 am, but you can get a Extension by applying for it and once HR approves it, then only they can have a Extended Time Out.... 

The employers of QA talked about the dressing rules in Qatar, for example the length of our skirts or shorts. Or the Ramadan rules... It's forbidden to eat and drink outside during the fast time. Although Turkey is a Muslim country, we don't have such rules.  So now I have prejudgments on living there....

bnb, I have ample of Incidents in my Book, in Which Employees got Fired for doing nothing.... ;)

qatar airways is not strict with their employees but QA follows "excellence in what we do"

Qatar has strict islamic rules, compared to say UAE. But nothing over the top like Saudi. My friend works for QA. She has a 3:30 am curfew (which is fine 'cause all hotel clubs and late night places close by 3 am give or take). Also, you can't have a guest in your accomodation past 10pm.If your walking around on the street / outside malls, be prepared to receive all kinds of unwated attention from guys in white land cruisers. But shouldn't be a problem as cabin crew are trained on how to handle unwanted attention, lol.

Well, Qatar itself does not have Strict Rules, Why not do a Search on QL, regrading this matter, there have been threads previously Regarding Cabin Crew working for QA.
