320 fleet:

Roster: 70...80 hours/month(duty 130+ sometime...)
: 8+... days off in Doha/month(sometime 2..3 days off outside station.
: 2..3 stby/month sometine none.
Bidding system available:Make the roster a little bit better, BUT i heard unfortunatly that the MAFIA in charge of roster are still interfering with the system...to be confirmed..
Yes you can be called during days off, BUT off course you don't have to answer..BUT since they have to pay you extra allownance when you are pull out for a flight on days off(if you accept), those thinks barely happens now..
Cancelling a day off in your roster whitout advising/asking you happens as well sometime.

Off course you can always buy a property here...if you are crazy enough...Or if you have cash..!(2 bedroom flat 500.000....600.000 U$ at least....!)
Because Don't forget IF anythink happens to you (termination..), and you can't pay the bank loan..you might end up in jail or being stuck in Qatar till you pay...So think twice..

Fubaliera: with a population of 1.5 million in qatar and a ratio of 1.2M male/0.3M female..i doubt seriously there is enough girls for everybody here..
