BIGBAD;
-Most of your days off (7..8../month) will be in Doha.
-Sometime you might have 1..2 days off down the route..
-Yes you can bid for some particular trip/flight/layover..some of them are more popular than others so..more difficult to have it...(especially on 320!)
-Latest rumor is that you can only bid/have 3 days off in a row!Good news for people who want to get out of Doha and go home !
(simply because ONE "mistake" has been done..so the CEO has decided that EVERYBODY should pay for it: standard procedure in Q.R.!
).
-Leave..well keep your fingers crossed in order to have what you bid for..
especially as a new joiner,shouldn't be a problem if you are a senior crew.
