Please don't take my post with any offence or criticism as I have read your post for several years and respect that you post no bull!!!! response etc etc.
Would I rather work for Qatar or Emirates. Reading all the post on here I'll stay where I am. When I leave, I'll leave the area. Would I rather live in Doha or Dubai, not sure but with regards to being sent to jail if I show any sympathy to the political situation in the region, I'll stay in Doha. And it's not an absolute dump. It's Doha and not Dubai. We are a few years behind Dubai but to be honest, I prefer it as it is. We have bars and a Rugby Club and we don't have too many parties on a beach. I've been to Dubai several times and to be honest, I am not 100% sure I would be happy living there. Some people don't want all the bull!!!! that is Dubai. I am happy where I am at the moment and I would rather be happy in work and ok with where I live rather than miserable in work and happy with my location. I spend a lot of time in work and being happy in work is the factor to where I decide to be employed. Location helps and Doha is not a bad place to be.
I like many others are very happy here and have no intentions of leaving, or at least until we have to.
Regarding the original post. There are lots of stories where our CEO has paid and funded help for employees needing help or medical care. This is not made up stories. It does happen. I can believe the original post and I am not surprised at all.
Regarding all you guys over in Emirates. If your not happy, maybe consider applying here in Doha as I think the mutual agreement no longer exists. I know of some of our FOs going over to you and I hear of some of your guys coming over to,us.
One last point, we are all ex pats. We are here to earn money. When it's over, it's over.
