In all countries Qatar Airways promotes itself as the worlds 5 star airline, the glamour, SAFE and pedigree airline to fly with throughout the world. The amazing thing is that all these countries believe they are allowing a SAFE, competitive, modern and forward thinking airline fly over their towns and cities and land at there international airports.
IF ONLY THIS WERE TRUE.
Instead the public, governments and authorities have been fooled, misled or in the case of 2 of the above bribed.
The public is tricked into flying a 5 star airline that only really caters for the first and business class, which are not the majority. Whereas the authorities either turn a blind eye, are being paid off, or don’t know or care about the running of this airline.
FOR GODS SAKE WAKE UP AND AUDIT THIS AIRLINE INSIDE AND OUT, take no Indian B.S. and see how this company really works.
1) Its anti competitive, it will fly aircraft with no passengers anywhere, because the airline is pumped up with money from the state. In the usa and euro land airlines have to compete, and yet these same areas allow an anti competitive airline take business from there national airlines.
2) Flight Safety, where do you start on this one.
This airline would have you believe internally and externally that it is very safe, talk to any crewmember its and accident waiting to happen. How can an airline be safe when its crews fall asleep regularly whilst flying dangerous rosters.
e.g. a regular roster pattern on one of the fleets is to roster a crew to fly at 8 am and be off duty at 12.30ish pm and then fly again at 1 am 12 hrs later, either to a cat c airport or Indian night turnarounds etc. so you have a good nights sleep before your 8 am flight go home, now when do you feel tired enough to sleep again, how about 10 or 11 pm, ok but now you have to drive and report for your 1 am flight, oh dear sorry you now haveto fly to your dodgy airport or Indian all-nighter,not forgetting the overnight euro land flights, and be awake for the best part of 24-25 hrs. Would you put your family on this aircraft knowing this? This is legal, but is it safe, after all you will get a nice letter from the flight safety dept if you for got to do something minor, but ok the duty is legal. Even ULR crews don’t get treated like this, oh and what was our flight safety mag about, FATIGUE.
3)REST AND DAYS OFF. How would you like your 2 days off in Katmandu or some other great destination on a fleet in AAB Airways, would you feel rested, relaxed, at home in your surroundings. Or would you feel board, miss your family, your own belongings, want to go out and spend your time with friends etc. well 50 percent of your days off per month ( more if cabin crew ) could be spent away from your base, and then when you get back, wow you can now work another 7 days without a day off, and then you may only get 1 day off, then another 6-7 days of work. Feel FATIGUED again?
4) CRM this is good this one, as crm is a thing in AAB Air that is a gender first based thing. We are no longer allowed to have joint flight and cabin crew crm classes, in case we talk to each other, joint briefings, what I hear you say, what are they, well in AAB Air not a thing worth doing, I kid you not, cabin crew regularly do not know who flew them to there destination, until the crew get into the crew bus at the destination. This has to be very SAFE.
5) How SAFE, is it to fly from Doha to manila, day off there, fly back to Doha, to arrive in the morning, then say fly to London 12 hrs later. This is just an example, but could be an mix of the east west flights, and could apply to flight and cabin crew. I shall leave this one for you to think about. FATIGUE, SAFTEY.
6) Minor maybe, but I thought it would be quite good if all the crew could maybe swim if need be. Apparently not here, oh well.
There are many more things that could be added here, im sure, suffice to say, the aviation authorities that believe they are morally better than most in the world, (we know which ones). Should not allow the degraded and morally wrong ones, fly daily, over and into their major cities and airports.
All the above applies twice as bad to the cabin crew, so any emergency could be, well interesting. Our cabin crews are more worried about “ did I get the service right “, than flight safety. No joke, look at most cabin crew briefing boards, look where crm (if mentioned) and safety are listed in importance, food for thought.
I rest my case. :ugh::ugh::ugh:
