being a crew is just like any other hospitality oriented job. there are the ups and the downs. what i enjoy most is having to work half of the month and being off the rest of the month. you can swap your roster with friends and collegues suit yourself. ive heard horror stories of how military QR is. i work in the UAE but most of my offs are spent in doha. its great. you fly all over the world, stay in the best hotels, enjoy numerous discounts, meet diff kinds of people...just try get in and enjoy the benefits. your family wont see you 24/7 and you may have to spend xmas on air etc... but all said and done,, you can do flourishing businesses back home cos your flights are only 10 percent charged,,,invest, invest invest and work half a month for an average of 12 plus plus thousand riyals,free accomodation and transport,insurance, medical cover....at the end of the day..close your ears to all those negative comments abt trolley dollys and do your thing.... its a great job!
