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.

Bennett was employed by the Qatar Airways company Discover Qatar to promote the image of Qatar following the nation's selection as the host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. After leaving the job and showing interest in a rival Saudi company, Bennett was arrested and said that he was tortured. He was found hanged in his hotel room on 25 December 2019.

Josh, I think you missed mentioning, that the whole point of flight reviews is to help airlines improve their product. How else would an airline know that the product they offer is one of the "best in the world" if everyone only present the good to the company? Perhaps Qatar Airways want to wait until the ratings and public perception of the airline diverged so much, that ridership plummets. Even then, the airline would struggle to figure out what went wrong because they would have destroyed the critical, honest feedback that they need to improve.

[@artgreen6915]

Haha. As the other (so far) reply says perhaps this should be the point of reviews. Sadly not all companies see reviews that way though. At the worst end of the spectrum you'll be aware of the controversy around Amazon and other product and service reviews sometimes suspected of being fake, paid for or induced. Many companies see reviews as a game to be played and the more that behave that way, the higher the pressure on the moral fibre of others because it becomes harder to compete. I agree with you on what reviews SHOULD be about. Trust in reviews is now wafer thin because people suspect incentives are not fully disclosed in many cases.

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!

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.

Qatar is the airline that held women hostage and even took them off their flights to force them to have intimate examinations because an infant had been found in a rubbish bin at the airport. I'm willing to bet it was no traveler who did this but a desperate local girl who had to hide an unwanted pregnancy for fear of the severe punishment if she was caught. But they made all these women on planes and in the airport submit to these humiliating examinations. I'd never fly with them or want to visit their country.

I'm a semi retired ethnographer (researcher/people watcher). One piece of advice I have repeated to many different customer facing clients is this: The best way to create a loyal customer, is to show them how brilliantly you fix something that has messed up. In other words, great service in itself doesn't generate loyal customers. The reason being that great service is often the norm. And we expect it whether with an airline or a convenience store. However, the most loyal customers I have ever spoken to, the ones who rave about a brand, are those for whom something massively messed up, and the provider of the service/product fixed it instantly and brilliantly. When you fix a problem in a way that surprises and delights, you gain loyalty and... trust.

On the return, they brought the flight time forward by an hour, then had a delayed takeoff making us 45 minutes late into Doha, leaving only 30 minutes to make the connection to the BA flight. On arrival in the UK, my luggage, along with about 40 others', was missing.

I gave them a suggestion like anything left in business class, anything, we are on a flight to Melbourne from Doha and we need to eat They offered us pretzels and coke, UNREAL!!! They then said being that you are in the last row on our next service (breakfast) you will be served first, I then said can you please warm up our breakfast and we will eat that now We were refused, not much we could do as we did not want to make a scene, Oh! btw we did not accept the pretzels we had nothing When we got home I wrote an email to their customer service about the incident and waited over 3 months for a response, they just send us a generic response which would of been a cut & paste message, we are flying again next year and we both refuse to travel Qatar with the experience all stated above During your video, what stuck in my mind was, you are not Sam Chui and do not get bribed, BRAVO, that is one reason I do not subscribe to him, Also I sent an #unband Josh Cahill to Qatar in instagram, and I have also shared your video to most of my drivers here at work over (120) of them who travel regularly Josh keep up the good work, and do not let these giants bring you down

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!

However, if it is repetitive and they have already been called out by management, then I agree that they deserved to be fired. Your personal issues should never affect the service provided to paying customers. If it does, stay home or just call in sick.

[@Levytska]

@Claudfoz Well they clearly got fired because of one sector and the review did not highlight any gross misconduct, just a comment on their level of motivation. Knowing their roster patterns they could do 20+ flights per month and not in passenger seats but moving in a cabin constantly serving customers without even a proper meal break sometimes. And by the way, fatigue is not a personal issue. It's a body's response to chronic stress and absense of proper rest caused by work overload. I'm not looking for excuses, I just wish that people who don't do crazy shifts and physical work at their jobs would understand that cabin crew are doing their best to deliver great service utilizing available resources but at the end of the day we are not immortal and we also get tired, hungry, sleepy etc like any other human being regardless of occupation

[@Claudfoz]

@@Levytska Before I became a business owner, I had to work 24-48 hour shifts managing data centres while taking care of my son. I was also studying at that time. So stop with the excuses. Knowing how many flight attendants are especially when one is in economy, they complain about doing the basics of their jobs a lot. As for Qatar, it is a country that is known for slavery. You can’t impose our own culture to theirs. You can simply get out. Why haven’t they left the job when they are in terrible conditions? Because they haven’t gotten a better opportunity from other airlines.. They are there by choice. If you choose to stay, do your job right and that includes cleaning the toilet in the plane.

[@Levytska]

@Claudfoz they're there by choice correct. And for many it's a choice to support their families and try to make their life better. Not everybody was blessed to be born in a prosperous family. You never know what's behind a smile. It could be 5 kids, sick parent or a huge loan. And if a crew is a single bread winner for their family doing hard work they're not in a position to loose their job in such a savage way. Again, not for gross misconduct but for being a human. No excuses though, I know that everybody has different levels of compassion towards other humans and not everybody will understand. Just supporting my colleagues here. I know how hard they work. I wish that all your flights in the future will have super positive and energized crew. And immaculate toilets of course 😁

If you are in their hands, than you loose all rights or possibilities depending on circumstances. Be aware to make yourself vulnerable.

Despite many requests from QA to vastly increase flights to/from Australia, Australian government resisted (some have said it was undue influence by Qantas to keep flights tight). However, I am sure the strip search fiasco was a major factor in overlooking QA in favor of greatly increased Turkish airline slots to/from Australia next year. F.... QA don't use them especially if you are female.

Thank you so much for sharing the real story behind this airline. I’m so appreciative of your honesty and integrity! Keep up the good work!

[@zephyrkhambatta]

Thanks for sharing that brother, you have my support. If you’re ever in Singapore, say hi.

[@anitarao4171]

Really proud of you for making this video. As an ex QR employee, I can say that the company owes an apology to a lot of crew, who were terminated for silly things. The way the crew were treated under Mr. Baker was horrible. I am thankful now that I am out of that company who would treat us like slaves. I am happy that he has been dethroned and the new CEO looks promising.

I've been lucky enough to meet you. You struck me as a person with integrity.

Hi Josh, another interesting anecdote from QR. A while ago one Brazilian captain sued QR for unpaid hours and other work related issues. QR’s solution to the problem? They banned ALL Brazilians from joining the airline; a Brazilian can apply for a pilot position, but won’t be called. I am not sure if the ban has been lifted, but the ban has been in effect for a couple of years now.

[@gizConAsh]

Brazil should ban Qatar airways from flying into it's territory. Do that and see how quickly they change their tune

[@apveening]

@@gizConAsh Better, make it a requirement that all Qatar airways planes flying into and out of Brazil have (at least partial) flight and cabin crew.

[@flashylite]

How pathetic of QR. Cutting your nose to spite your face.

[@robertrosser9975]

Wow! Very interesting.

[@Ra99y]

@@apveeningthe people this would hurt the most are Brazilians…

[@bonsaijimmy]

Thanks for your honesty& BRAVO! I was considering flying from Amsterdam to Phuket in December but after discovering how brutal the Airline is in firing the crew members who allow you permission to review your flight, I changed my mind. SHAME to Qatar Airways

[@brendanroberts4866]

all airlines are similar - BA fire and rehire etc etc - suggest you dont fly again . Crew do not get large bonues - this guy is taking crap

[@NarendraSingh-gx3py]

@JoshCahill, I support your bold decision to stand firm. My family has personally experienced harassment by Qatar staff at Doha Airport by not letting board the flight. These crooks are simply buying their bad rating and claiming to be best in industry. People should take bold stand and boycott their flights.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

the thing is thy are at times the cheapest priced flight to fly on, so economy fliers will still fly on them when going on holiday to EU countries, when thy are cheaper,

[@souravmohite4443]

Racism towards south Asians is real in middle eastern countries(specially in Qatar). I have faced it many times.. I was once travelling there, I have tatto of "Om" (symbol of Hindus) on my wrist.. one passenger on the flight kicked me and not even apologized(I thought it mistakenly happened). but, he whispered to his friend calling me P.a.j.e.e.t and DUNG worshi..er & they both laughed.. But, I controlled myself at that time. & never went in those countries till this day. I have self respect about my culture and religion as well.. I know all peoples are not like that but it was Bad experience...!!

[@darrylstewart6931]

Brave move Josh. It speaks to your commitment to honest reviews and your overall ethics. I am impressed.

[@joykind4258]

What's crazy is that Qatar missed a wonderful opportunity. As the community recognizes your reviews as honest and genuine, all Qatar had to do was to improve their service. You already had a trip scheduled, and if they were able to turn it around where you were blown away once again, you would have been their biggest ally with a truthful and favorable assessment and that would have been so much better than simply deleting a negative review.

[@JK_Chapman]

sounds like a slimy airline that i'll avoid - thank you for the honest and transparent review!

[@juanantoniojosepacheco5848]

Hi Josh! My name is Juan. Just watched your video amazed for as an aviation columnist and academic I have been through with Viva Aerobus (Mexico) on some of the same difficulties you´ve been through with QR! Be assure that I 100% support your efforts on protecting freedom of speech from both abusive private or goverment entities.

[@someone1932]

This is insane. Big props for being the bigger person in the picture and sharing the truth, unlike a giant corporation

[@Reddawn1718]

This is another example of the lack of humanity of the powers that be at Qatar. I will never forget the story of passengers trying to get back to Australia when the pandemic hit and all female passengers were ordered off the aircraft at Doha which was ready to head back to Sydney. These poor women was subjected to invasive checks in the back of an ambulance on the tarmac as a baby had been found abandoned in the terminal. They were escorted by armed men and were made to comply. I am glad I never flew Qatar in all my travel days and your experience Josh is the icing on the cake.

[@WilliamMurphy-uv9pm]

Globalists always assume the world is the same no matter where you are. They are surprised at the extreme variations in how things work outside their own culture. The word "cllueless" comes to mind. The guy in this video is an extreme activist. Likely always looking for trouble or creating it himself.

[@peacefulpleb]

I flew them once as a business class passenger - it was the worst flying experience ever. My main seat cushion collapsed and the attendants just ignored me and I had to fly from Doha to LHR on a broken seat. I have flown on a few Middle Eastern airlines Qatar Airways was the worst. I now self-select i.e. not Qatar.

[@amstergal]

Your approach is reasonable and compassionate. Thank you, Josh.

[@Grenadier96]

Really proud of you for standing by your ethics here Josh. I know for a fact that your many followers, fans and subscribers are behind you all the way. So, keep doing what you are doing. More importantly, keep doing it the way you are doing it. The dreadful 'playground bully' manner that Qatar have completely mishandled this shows you are doing it correctly. All it does is hand you all the credibility. Keep the blue side up mate.
