Ok, things aren't great at the moment - but let's not exaggerate!
12-14 people haven't left.... Approximately 7 have, 4 of them recruited by serco. 2 of those only planned to be here for 1 year and the other 2 never validated. Out of the other 3 recruited by QCAA 2 had been here at least 3 years. It's also worth noting these have all left from radar... Nobody has the left the Tower
Ths standby on roster has been cancelled.
The leaving the country 3 times also incorrect. I don't think anybody would be here if that's the case... It's true you have to take your leave (45days) in 3 blocks but with casual days, shift swaps, special leave and the option to take unpaid leave if you require you can easily leave several times a year.
I would agree that the school fees do not cover the cost required and that this needs to be improved and the housing allowance is way below what you would require to live somewhere half decent. But "most" people are satisfied with the accommodation provided by the company.
Package
35000/40000 QAR (depending on what you negotiate - unfair)
Plus 5000 QAR bonus paid dependent on days leave taken in a month.
45 days leave
School fees for up to 3 kids schooled in Qatar up to 25000 QAR/child
Furnished accommodation
One flight home a year
Negotiations are apparently ongoing for an improvement in package to increase staff levels and stop existing people leaving - but these have been ongoing for about 6 months.
It is true that two radar controllers are about to leave but not 3-5. People are threatening if things don't improve management know this and hopefully will take action.
8 news starters to arrive in OCT tower radar ratio unknown.
The rest of what you say is correct, it is not as structured as the UK and Qatar can be a challenge to live in... But who doesn't like a challenge?
