If it helps, a mate of mine started last year and I saw him at Christmas. Likes (not loves) the flying, the routes, the kit, the fact he's out of Europe, the money and the sun, even the summer was bearable. He doesn't like trying to get home to see his kids, some of the FO's, the boredom. He is neutral on the company, the country and the region, but he's a relaxed sort of guy, I suspect that Qatar suits someone like that. Apparently they don't take prisoners if you co*k up!
