I do not work in the aviation so cannot comment on specific issues but you had better believe that in this part of the world management can be every bit as bad as posters in the various threads have indicated. If you think things cannot be that bad.....prepare to be disappointed. Reread QR threads with this in mind.
As to Qatar itself it is more than 15 years since I lived there so I am out of date on specifics. It is still, no doubt, a bit of a backwater. If you are looking for excitement, nightlife etc. Go somewhere else! I must admit that I did enjoy my time there back in the 80's.
The golf course (grass one) is very good I believe, but membership is likely to be expensive. Sand golf is an alternative however......
Hope you get what you are looking for.
