Salary for F/O

Basic 22500 QAR
Flight pay 104 Qar/Block Hour
Housing 13000 Qar

Expect average 100 block hours /month. Months without leave are +-130h/month. With leave 30-90h depending on how much leave. Fatigue is unimaginable, some collegues have gotten heart problems due exhaustion.

You can fly easily more than 100 per month as Qatar Airways only has a limit on factorised hours (900/year), there is no limit on hours spend in the plane with more than 2 crew members. Some guys have flown nearly 2500 hours in the last 2 years excluding taxi, deadheading and simulator duties.
Expect to be put in company accommodation and fight your way out.
Roster is fixed at max 8 days off in Doha.
For those waiting for the recruitment, the HR team is a good indicator of how the airline works, don't look for logic or honesty.
Boeing fleet significantly short of F/O, captains are now flying as F/O regularly.
The airline started recruiting almost one year ago redundant employees, in that same time frame almost an equal amount of pilots have left the airline. One would be very careful joining an airline where pilots leave their job without a new job during the biggest aviation crisis!
