Qatar Airways don't seem to understand that their actions have given them far more bad publicity than the original video did. If they'd just apologised for the poor flight experience this would have all been forgotten by now.

I’m a commercial pilot, I talk to Qatar Airline employees often. Pilots are dead tied - dangerous. Cabin crew are in a hell like job . They complain about late pay and benefits. I sum this up as a dangerous airline when crews are not rested and not treated properly. One nasty airline- NEVER FLY WITH THEM !!! We call them “the Qatar labour camp”. Dangerous airline IMHO. I’ve seen some approaches below minimums and wondering on the ILS / dangerous.

Dear Josh, I am completely shocked about that. I have never heard something about this. But for myself: I was fliying since 2002 Qatar Airways and made about 16 trips with them up to 2016 in Economy and Business Class. I was always very happy with them. But then, my wife and I decided not flying anymore with them because of all negative reportings about the FIFA World Cup 2022. Also I was not agreed with AB to dispute on court with Airbus. I did not want to fly also with an airline which release so many untruth and brings so much turbulence into aviation. A country which thinks that they stand over everything with human rights etc. Your video showed me how they act with their crew and kicked them out of the company. That is not acceptable, but maybe a chance for them to switch to an airline which accepts human rights and does not put them under pressure like they hav done it right now. For all my personal friends I will show this story and then they can decide by their own if they fly them again. The main problem is that they don't accept our way of live, but on the other side we have to agree with their kind of living. Anyway thanks very much for your release (including your right of the freedom of speach in a free country where you live) and I guess you can live with the fact that your video is no longer visible for the 3 mio. Qataris...

Josh wasn’t the first one to have this experience with Qatar. Josh probably was the first one to have the integrity and the clout to not only resist being bullied, but take steps to enlighten others. We all remember stories of over 1000 workers who got worked to death for FIFA World Cup. Most people didn’t care. @josh, Thank you for caring and resisting corruption.

Josh More power to you. Dont get bullied by these corporates

We have an expression in the USA - “Turning a misdemeanor into a felony”. Qatar did precisely this. They could have apologized, cleaned up their act, ignored the video…done a bunch of things… but they decided to go nuclear. And what has it gotten them?

This is what happens when petty autocrats get power. They don’t look at criticism as an opportunity for reflection and improvement, but as an attack on their hubris and respond accordingly. I’ve always said, the biggest predictor of someone’s (be it a person, company or country) eventual downfall is their level of hubris.

I and my family used to travel at least twice a year from the UK to India on Qatar Airways but have stopped since early 2021 when their level of services declined. I have been a loyal customer since 1998 and have been an ardent fan of the airline. This experience portrayed in this video by Josh further enhances my feelings for this airline. Won't be flying with them ever again.

[AsgarAliBanka]

My latest journey using Qatar turned into a real disaster, and I can affirm that their level has taken a nosedive. Appreciate you voicing your concerns.

[Radicalist-Manifesto]

Please take this advice seriously. Avoid putting yourself within the jurisdiction of Qatar in every way possible. Don't go into their territory, or transit over their airports. They are a very vindictive lot, and can cause you ACTUAL harm. The system there is parasitic, and there is no accountability. Stay safe.

[stefank.]

If an Airline can not take constructive criticism to improve, there must be something really wrong behind the scenes. Thanks Josh for your work. Greetings/Grüße from Vienna.

[sherin]

Please continue with what you are doing, don’t let this stop you being an airline critic, it’s the only way to raise awareness to passengers and inform the CEO’s the state of their airlines. Thank you for standing your ground and not taking any “bribes.”

I had the most miserable experience with Qatar Airways at LHR T4. After much chaos we were declared “No shows” and we could not rebook our seats

*I used to work at QR Airways as a Staff Member, But i left for Obvious Reasons*
*The Management is horrific, and they treat you like sh** . *They didn't give us Adequate food, we work long hours continuously and if any of the staff employees had a sickness/headache/stomach ache, they'd threaten to fire us if we don't continue working with the ailment ( and in several cases they actually did fire people. I would see them crying and it would break my heart* ).

*Moreover, the Qatari Arabs are extremely Racist towards South Asians, it's Sickening. Plz Highlight this and help us* 🙏

Hi Josh, I worked my self for Qatar airways for more than 12 years at a managerial level so I know a lot about what is going on “behind the scene”. What you have reported about dismissing people, is just an example of how Qatar Airways appreciates (or actually doesn’t appreciate) the work of its employees. What they have achieved all these years is built on the hard work of expats. But for them expats are just a workforce without dignity. I do not want to get into cultural issues, but honestly, the way they treat people is manifested in their culture. Whenever they are confronted with a situation that they cannot resolve the way they want, they just dismiss people. I am happy that at the end of the day Akbar Al Baker got a taste of his own bitter medicine.

I flew with Qatar four times in 2022 (2 economy, 1 business and 1 first class)and I had negative experience in 3 out of the four flights. You’re right about the crew being exhausted, unhappy and probably underpaid that I heard them nagging about special meals on a long haul flight. My first class experience was worse than one of my economy class experiences, the flight attendant in my first class trip gave me a wrong immigration card before landing in Cairo and assured me that it was the right one when I doubted it was for me after reading the title which caused me significant delay after it was refused by the immigration officer who gave me another form and asked me to fill it and get in the line again! On my business class flight, The Q suite cabin was not clean with some food debris and hair from a previous passenger and they served me dairy containing bread for my vegan meal!

[Azizscouser]

I got 2 friends that used to work in Qatar Airways. One as a flight attendant and the other in a customer support department. Both say that it’s absolutely terrible place to work and never ever recommend anyone to apply to work there.

To Qatar Airways: Honestly Josh's bad review would not prohibit me from flying with you guys - after all, it's just two flights and may not be representative of all of your flights. There are also times that I disagree with flight reviewers and have had better experiences than what they commented. However, paying for the video to be removed, banning reviewer for unfavourable review and dismissing the crew would make me decide against flying with Qatar Airways as I don't want my air fares to be supporting such disgraceful acts.

[phipsi]

I am honestly disgusted by how the airline deals with criticism and the consequences of having an honest review of their experience!
Doesn't Qatar Airways realize that they have just made this entire problem worse?? They could have just apologized and it would have been okay.
Thank you Josh for covering this story and for continuing to do your job!

Yes last year in May travel to Australia, I was charged £85 for extra luggage(assuming you can check two within the weight allowed on check in) But no, only one suitcase was allowed. Then on board to the flight, you saw a lot of flight attendants heading towards the plane, and as the flight progressed, not much snacks being served or refreshments being offered. Yes, and the toilets was dirty. First and the last, never ever again.

Congratulations, for being honest, you are one of the few who doesn't sell themselves, and that's why you're the only one I follow on the subject.
