I'm one of the relatively happy F/Os in QR.
About 3 years ago I was flying an old little jet, based at the backside of Europe, without my family and without any perspective for career progression.
Now I'm flying one of the most advanced heavy jets on the planet, my loved ones are here with me, and they feel comfortable in Doha. I do not fly too much; I'm getting more money than any of my friends, working elsewhere. I drive a good car and we live at a very good place.
I go to work, do my stuff, and come back home, live my life. Nobody bothers me for anything.
Respect the others, respect YOURSELF and you won't have any problems. Be nice to the CCs and you can get anything you want.
And, actually, do you really like laban and dates so much?
Then buy yourself some from MegaMart!
Some people just do not know what's important and what's not!
Good flying to all!
