Did I get it wrong?

Your post suggests that pilots from Belgium are somehow superior to pilots from other countries and that Belgian pilots are doing QR a favour by making themselves available?
My apology if I've gotten it wrong, but

Pullllleeeeeeese!!!!

Might I suggest you tone it down a little bit for there are talented pilots out here from all walks of life, many different cultures with varying degrees of experience and ability which QR could well put to good use.

As a TRI I can assure you there is no one country, culture, race or religion with a monopoly on 'smarts'.

The manner in which this young lad seems to have left QR is certainly not new in the Middle East and it will undoubtedly happen again. The fact that he may be Belgian is of no consequence. The fact that he may be Belgian will undoubtedly make the Qataris 'gun-shy' when it comes to Belgian applicants.
To suggest discrimination on the basis of ones nationality henseforth in the hiring practices at QR isn't outside the realm of possibility, is it?

I suppose by saying so, it just makes YOU feel better.
