    Qatar Airways was my employer for almost 8 1/2 years and I witnessed SO many fates, especially of cabin crew members. I was ground staff somewhere in Europe, it was okay for me. But when I left the company and resigned, the last thing I was told was, "Don't think you can ever come back!" As if I would ever consider that... My conclusion: QR gives me ONE good reason to work for them (to be proud to work for THE best airline in the entire world! Yeah right...), and I have at least FIFTY arguments against it.

      In Qatar airlines cabin crew are forced to live in company apartments which are riddled with CCTV, security guards and a swipe card so that the company can enforce a curfew to prevent them spending the night elsewhere. They’re forbidden from leaving their apartment for 12 hours before every flight.
      They need permission to get married or leave the country. And they can be fired on the spot for any reason-even the tiniest infraction such as wearing the uniform while shopping. They can get fired for being pregnant and have to ask permission from the Airline to get married. And more, lots more.

    I haven't seen your video on them, but I can already agree. I've flown with them in the summer of 2022 to cape town, and it was definitely less service-oriented than before. I've also flown with them before to KL years before. It's sad to see the decline of so many airlines (Turkish airlines for example). I'm flying emirates this year (after 8 years) again and I really hope they are still as great as they were back then.

    I flew Qatar in September (Singapore-Doha-Athens) and was in Doha for a day. I agreed with everything in Josh's Qatar video. Badly maintained plane interiors, terrible handling of keeping customers on a bus for 30 minutes in 40 degree heat with no aircon, no inflight entertainment on a 3-hour supposedly premium international flight. They might think banning Josh is just being spiteful to one person, but they're seriously wrong. Millions of potential passengers will now boycott them because of this one action. It shows how they respond to criticism, and it shows disrespect to anyone thinking about using them. I can't see myself ever using them again. Qatar might as well ban me too, I have no desire to ever go back to the country.
    Doha was a wasteland of a place from what I saw and is a metaphor for the country and Qatar Airways as a whole. I saw abandoned construction projects and already decaying Fifa World Cup signs with no effort to take them down only 9 months after it ended, and even saw a half-finished hotel near Souq Waqif with the foyer left wide open with nothing inside. I almost never saw any humans other than in cars and in museums, except when I tried to walk towards a metro station across an empty parking lot and was stopped by a security guard. A shopping mall with over 100 stores I went to was mostly empty in the early afternoon. The most ridiculous experience was an abandoned statue of a FIFA World Cup mascot along the harbour. Fencing had been put up around it but was pulled down, there were no security guards and no care factor for the fencing being completely useless, I spent 10 minutes there taking photos and never saw anyone.

But i’m shocked. How can such a top tier airline ban someone who just wanted to help them improve their airline? That beyond ridiculous. On my way back from this trip, i will be going via DOH again on qatar airways, and we will see how that ends. Thank you for sharing this. It’s starting to seem that qatar airways wants to lose passengers. Mention that you’ve been banned every video, and they will see how much money they lose because of one guy who wanted to help the airline out.

    Difference with UAE is that they take Feedback quite seriously. Pretty much every service is either a Happiness center or a rating on your Happiness using the service.

    Qatar airways definitely made a super marketing move... Makes them look so petty and accentuates their "paying" their way to get what they want... embarrassing for them. Bullying airbus and now Josh...

    Emirates is always a home feeling. You don’t get that feeling in any other airline no matter how good their product is!! That home feeling makes your trip more relaxed and happier than other airlines.
