Hi Kenoco
I was one of the longest serving British serving crew members at QR once upon a time but lucky for me too the jump last year and have landed a good one.
Yep I personally think that a lot of the new aussie crew wont last much longer than 6 months, although they do have a CSD out in QR who is a New Zealander and has been their quite a few years.
Life in Qatar is very much what you make it, had a fantastic time, going out to the desert, sunbathing, shopping, boating etc As for the social life well what can I say Hic Hic, but watch yourselfes aussie crews if your reading this, dont get drunk if your training as they do spot checks even on training over the limit and off you trot back to aussie no questions.
As for the flying, well yeh did enjoy it , but now mostly days off down route, flying with min crew nearly always and well they cant keep their crew.
Look up QR in Middle East forum and even here, I did enjoy myself after all 3 1/2 years what can I say to you all , but hey I am no fan of the little man AAB (sorry poor excuse to call him a man) and his systamatic ways of no other words but harassing the crew and making life difficult.
Any questions feel free to email or private message me / would love to hear how you aussie crew get on. Very best of luck cause you'll need it.
