Where does it say that recruitment in El Salvador is for SO's? The Qatar Airways recruitment effort in El Salvador appears to be nothing more or less than an effort to poach pilots from Grupo TACA. Don't get me wrong, nothing morally or ethically wrong with that. Job applicants have to compete fiercely to seem attractive to prospective employers, and employers should work hard to be an attractive career option for professionals. TACA has not taken very good care of it's flock, unfortunately, but besides just more cash, I wonder how much better an employer Qatar Airways is than Grupo TACA.
In any case, interesting times!
