Who said long lasting career in Qatar, I didn't. Get jet time, get a job in Emirates or Qatar, get a rating and time on a large jet, then after a couple of years leave if you wish. Use them as they use you. Get the rating, get the hours and then move on if you can't hack it out in the Middle East.
These airlines currently have stacks of people trying to get back home who can't
Your point is ? Nobody is stopping them leaving ? And why can't they return ?
My point is this, Command on a TP is not going to give you a long lasting career, because if and when the company you're working for tells you you're no longer required, chances of getting another job is a lot slimmer than it would be if you're flying a 195
And you're correct, no one wants to live in the sand pit, but a job is a job. You tell me where there is a better job please, post a link for it.
