That is true and generally speaking some 15 Qatari cadets jopin the ranks every year. I am pretty sure that they will never have 40 graduates a year unless they want to sign for accidents to happen.
Lets put it this way, if you talk statistically only 1 person in 5000 has the capabilities of becomming a pilot. There are 170000Qatari and allready we have +/- 40 qatari pilots at QR, 20 in the airforce and who knows how many more abroad.....so we have allready passed this benchmark! And sometimes you can see it on the their level allready! (To the good guys......you know you are good so...)
Recently they hired forreign ab initio pilots and that was my point...
