CAT1 I am sure much of your post will resonate with many here. The plight of migrant workers has been highlighted by a number of Human Rights organisations but as stated in your post they have no recourse whilst in the country. They do not have freedom or liberty in any sense of the word.
In cases where pilots are sacked the pay entitlement is withheld and as the contracts are under Qatari they cannot be enforced in law. Mr Al Baker is a very unsympathetic and runs the airline as with an iron fist and very little consideration.
I would say the lifestyle in Qatar is pretty much as described in the post. I have had a message from the Don't Fly Qatar Airways website and they have asked in if there are any pilots and staff who have been treated unfairly and wish to go on the record. If so please pm me and I will get u in touch.
