Second officers QR 6000.
Black Pudding, I would say your statement is uneducated in saying you cannot find anywhere anywhere fit to live for QR 6000. A place on the "prestigious" pearl will set you back 8000. Places near the airport and Najma, Bin Mahmud area can be had for much less. I'm assuming in your case you will not be joining if you are to receive QR 6000 accomodation allowance?
If I remember rightly, Second Officers term time can last upto about 8 months from start of training. After which you will be elegible for QR10000.
