Think Carefully
Well I guess it had to start sometime. The first terrorist car bomb went off last night in Doha around 2200, killing one Britain and injuring 12. The bomb was placed outside the Doha Players Theatre (a favourite expat haunt and accross the road from the Doha English Speaking School).
In relation to the "interesting" Currency Adjustment Allowance which was introduced by Guld Helis in December, it has now gone down by $4 a day. Funny, just about all currencies have strengthened against the US$ but Gulf has found some way of reducing the allowance. What a surprise! Since this allowance was introduced 7 captains have left so obviously the allowance is working a treat ;-)
Just about every captain in Gulf has be offered or re-offered Line Training positions. Funny, nobody seems to be jumping at the opportunity to earn an extra $10 a day (for touring pilots) and being called a racist and asked to leave the country within a few days!
Think carefully about any move to Gulf Helis.
