thanks again, thats sounds much better and far more reasonable.
Seeing as you guys seem to have quite a handle on this please excuse me for asking another question.
Somewhere it mentioned that staying in the company accommodation was at a cost which was then deducted from your monthly salary? Is that correct, ie is it the $8000 per month as advertised for an FO then minus living expenses, and the bond?
Final question, there does seem to be a lot of negative comments about being an expat for Qatar, any experience of this, or is it ok as long as you go in knowing what to expect?
