“We had no choice. We were forced to work on these flights or be fired. Managers would threaten us using abusive language, saying things like, ‘Take this flight or go back to your third-world country’,” said a Qatar Airways flight attendant from a South Asian country...
“Some staff with good looks or who are favorites of the management, especially Europeans, were asked to stage an act for CNN that (suggested) we were very happy flying health-care workers... the (cabin) staff that were forced to work on those flights were given only threats"...
One criterion for deciding [redundancies]... is whether they have served the airline for more than 15 years.
This has reinforced the notion, rightly or wrongly, that ageism is ingrained in Qatar Airways’ hiring and firing policies.
