Not Likely !!

If that figure is correct,who in their right mind would leave a stable country,possibly stable employment to put up with all the rubbish that all airline managers throw at you as a LAE.At todays conversion rate,that is only 3000 pommy pounds,5700 greenback,4500 Euros or 7500 Aussie pesos per month.

I guess that the Qatar management aren't serious in looking for qualified labour to help build their airline,because for that sort of dough,I could stay in my home country and probably work as a salesperson or labourer for that kind of cash.And not work shift work,or take the responsibility for signing maintenance releases.Yes,working on aircraft is an interesting profession,but not in one of the most volatile regions in the world at the moment,and not for that cash.Also,the licence coverage they are after is in such short supply,so the guys they may eventually get there will either be offered much more to join or will be on the run and need any cash possible.

Also most guys from western countries would have wives and partners who work either full or part time.I can't see this really attracting people even if it is tax-free.

Goodluck to those guys who do apply.
