Greetings from sunny Doha-by-the-Sea!
This is the home of Gulf Helicopters (once an offshoot of Gulf Air, but now wholly-owned by Qatar Petroleum - the national oil Company of Qatar). We operate 412's (and a couple of 212's) in Offshore Oil'Gas Field Support Ops (and overseas contracts).
We receive ****loads of c.v's from all and sundry - so why not swell the in-tray even more? Basic rates of pay are poor by local standards: IR Captain daily rate at US$262, usually working 8/4 or 6/6 contracts. Negligible chance of permanent 6/1 contracts right now, and most permanent and temporary slots fill quickly for 8/4 & 6/6. Nice bunch of guys - gentle ops except in the summer months which are a bitch! Doha is the 'Sleepy Hollow' of the Gulf - but ideal for those who live in foreign parts (some of us just dream about those!) and want to bring home regular US$ inputs that the tax man need not know about! No income tax in Qatar. A pleasant but quiet environment. Booze available to permanent residents. The country is opening up at a measured pace - but will never be wild like Dubai! Abu Dhabi Aviation down the road pays slightly more - but offers less job-security!
