Information about one former colleague and good acquaintance.
North American pilot who lost his job in a bankruptcy.
Goes to large and well known asian carrier with a very high profile and good reputation for a number of years, leaves just before the carrier kicks out all of the expats.
Works for another large asian carrier, known to be a little rough on their foreign employees and has a constant intake of foreigners because they all seem to leave.
Leaves for Qatar.
Says it's OK, but pollution is a problem.
States that this will be his last gig.
All in all, I get the impression from him that it is an OK job, not a lousy job, but not a great job either.
