Try to justify anything you wish , the rules can apply to anyone , anytime and anywhere they wish . If you think they treat the pilots differently , think again . You know that you need an exit permit to leave the country . You can and will be punished for things not associated with the job . Do you know that CC and pilot CRM mixed was stopped for over one year , just because the CEO didn't want the 2 groups to mix ( what the hell is CRM then ). You think this is normal ? Do you know it is up to QR to allow the QCAA to release your license validation . Do you know that for the privilege of obtaining your exit permit your are REQUIRED to pay 100 Euro !! And according to the EVPO HR , this is for your convenience !! So even if you want to take the single exit permit , this option is not available to pilots . What about the Fleet manager who prevents pilots from fleet transfer for a single "average grade " , yet nothing is said when he cocks up his Sim . And unless your religion prohibits it , whose f**kn business is it if you party or drink , as long as you are legal for your duty . If they want only non-drinkers , then they should state this . Why is it that he can control who you socialize with ?? You cannot see that this is abnormal !! He cannot prevent the locals from entertaining the CC , so again if one seeks a relationship ,no problem , as long as you are not a Pilot .Hypocrisy . He is a control megalomaniac .But if you don't appreciate freedom and respect then it can be a good thing . So go for it and hope that you don't make any mistakes .
