Guys, just want you to know that I really appreciate the help, I consider all informed opinions valid, I know that for family Abu dhabi offers more options than Doha, even though I think Doha will catch up soon. That's what makes it difficult, I am very happy where we are now specially due to the schools. QR makes the travelling easier and the other carrier offers better options if you decide to bring your family. I believe that as companies and work enviroment are the same, the best option would be EK if you bring the family along, but a screening date is anyone's guess...just replied that they would get back to me in a few weeks
