hello. I wanted to ask if you can still apply if you have a family member still in training for QA?

Hey there all, I haven't got the renewal of my contract in banana airlines based in burj khalifa land because of too many sick incidents Planning to apply to qatar just to stay a bit more in the middle east to be able to save 10k euros more Does anybody know if QA hires crew with previews ek experience? Cheers xoxo

Lol that is so not true, I flew with tons of ex QR crew.

You might be thinking of the old agreement they had not to hire each others' pilots.

But consider that it's hard to fly anywhere within the Gulf with the embargo on Qatar. You can't just fly to Dubai or Abu Dhabi for a weekend or to go to a concert etc...

To be honest, you shouldn't really work in any of the Middle East airlines... Just ask yourself, why don't they hire their own people? And why do they pay so much attention to Crew's looks? The answer is: because they want mascots and because noone living in any of these countries would work for that little money. It doesn't matter if it's QA or Emirates or Etihad. They don't really consider you equal or worth their attention as a person and human being. QA is the most obvious example, they are looking for SLAVES, not employees, and it's not an overstatement. Other airlines might hide it better, but they have a very similar mentality. If they treat you OK it's only because they make loads of money off your work and because they are scared of a bad opinion in the West which = less money. Don't get blinded.

Okay, I do understand that for some people the job seems like a good money opportunity, but consider it twice if it's really worth it.
