IT’S one of the world’s fastest growing airlines
with a modern fleet, but Qatar airlines has been
rocked by reports revealing its shockingly archaic
set of rules for female flight attendants.
Gulf carriers Etihad and Emirates were also blasted
by the International Transport Workers Federation
(ITF) for its “flagrant abuses of aviation workers”
— but they named Qatar Airways as the worst.
The ITF exposed unbelievable rules in the
contracts for female flight attendants at Qatar
Airways including:
• Female flight attendants can only be hired if they
are single
• They must remain single for five years after
starting work
• If they want to get married they have to ask the
airline’s permission
• Pregnancy is a breach of contract and can lead to
firing
Nearly eighteen months since their initial report,
the ITF says that the airline has made no progress
in its treatment of women and has urged
companies, including the Barcelona Football Club
who have a lucrative sponsorship deal with Qatar
Airways, to reconsider their relationship with the
airline.
However, in a statement to the Washington Post
yesterday, Qatar Airways says the contract claims
are not true.
“Qatar Airways flight attendants do not have to be,
or remain single,” Rossen Dimitrov, Qatar Airways
Senior Vice President Customer Experience, said.
“Many of our cabin crew are in fact married.”
The airline said its cabin crew do have to notify the
airline of pregnancies, as mandated by Qatar’s civil
aviation authority, “for health and safety reasons.”
If employees cannot fly because of pregnancy,
they are “assisted with finding suitable ground
positions.”
Its chief executive, Akbar al-Baker, has previously
defended its policies telling Reuters that the terms
of employment are clearly stated.
“If you come to seek employment with Qatar
Airways we give you a document that these are
the rules and regulations, if you as a mature
individual accept those conditions, then you
shouldn’t complain.”
The revelation of the contract stipulations has
outraged many on social media who have labelled
the rules “sexist”, “insane” and “outdated.”

Its their business, they can run it as they wish and it's clearly stated “If you come to seek employment with Qatar
Airways we give you a document that these are the rules and regulations, if you as a mature individual accept those conditions, then you shouldn’t complain.”

Even if one of the rules is for the female crews to stay single throughout, those that will apply will still apply.

abi.

Even before applying most of these conditions are made known and after getting the letter there's a copy you have to sign if the terms and conditions set for the job is accepted.

But i believe some of their female crews are just in for a while to gather some cash and quit when its time...

na by force?
