Qatar Airways!

QR is hiring Airbus Drivers and looking for TRE's.!

Be careful if you decide to go. They are unable to get pilots or TRI/TRE's to join them. They are having difficulty in getting volunteers to promote. Why in an airline that is doubling its fleet in the next few years?
Ask why the ones already there resigned from the office. The Baker gave one TRI 24 hrs to get out of the country because he upset a Qatari pilot whilst trying to teach him about their new performance. The Qatari was continually moaning and disrupting the class and when the instructor tried to silence him, (so he could get on with the training) he left the classroom and went to see the baker. There was no enquiry or interview only a fax from the tower saying "be out of the country within 24 hours". The Q pilot denied he had spoken to Baker when he was confronted.
Their are some very good Qataris but also, some, you really have to watch out for.
The expats are a good bunch of lads but try to keep their head down in case it is shot off. The lifestyle is good and the roster isn't bad. Apart from Peshewar & Katmandhu the flying is relatively easy on the A320 fleet. Money is around £5000 per month but a good house furnished will cost upwards of £1200 per month. Tel and internet are quite expensive, but petrol ischeap. 15p per litre.
I am not saying do not go just be careful if you do. I would advise anybody not to get too committed financially because leaving the country within 1 week is quite normal if you get on the wrong side of the wrong guy. (That applies to both within and without the aviation industry.)
Also try to get a yearly multiple exit visa or they will not let you out when you decide you want to go. To obtain a single exit visa you will have to go around the different departments and collect 3-4 signatures.
Anybody wanting info I would be glad to help and will give an impartial view. Just e mail me.
All the best to those who will try.:cool:

I have heard that a pilot was sacked for not wearing his hat while kicking the tires!!!I think that they may still have a while to go before they catch up with the world, but they do have lots of dosh.
