In addition to AKG and HV there is a new set of accomodation in the West Bay area. If there are so many joining soon, I would imagine that the list of people waiting to get out of company accomodation will be emptied in less than a year.
If you end up in HV you are quite near the airport and there is a shuttle bus which will run you to the tech building (where you report) for 10QAR per journey and on return to Doha it's a karwa or bandit cab depending on which of the 2 drivers grabs your bag first
Price around 25-30QAR.
Personally as an F/O with family I think the housing policy isn't one of the airlines best and is probably one of the top reasons for people leaving. Pay is one element of the package but at the moment the lifestyle elements seem to be having the worst effect on people.
Not sure pilots are going to be moved to Barwa City. Let's consider the facts if all staff were moved there.....
Lots of (mainly female) cabin crew on site......
lots of (mostly male) flight deck on site......
It's not going to happen.....
