@ turn_in_too
As far as I know, there is no charge for company acommodation. I am not sure if QR gives you the option of this or housing allowance though.
I don't think being an expat will be a problem, there are many expat pilots there. Plus it sounds like everyones common hatred of the company brings them together

to get people to join Qatar Airways, it needs to offer:
1. Pension
2. MORE MONEY
People don't go to Qatar because they like the scenery/relaxed atmosphere/wonderful management....they go there for the cash.
So to get more pilots you need to pay up on 1 and 2!!!
Else more leave is cancelled = worse conditions = more resignations = more leave cancelled = less joiners etc etc etc
Management, go to management school, do the classes, get a grip and try sort out your problems and enable the poor chaps there to live and work for fair pay and fair treatment.
what to do, what to do?????

This company has been using the expression "Expansion" as an excuse for MEDIOCRITY for way to long.
The company culture here is that of a spoiled child pointing fingers and never mature enough to accept its responsibilities and grow from its faults, and like such a child will eventually never make it in the world on its own and doomed to live in a vicious cycle...Of course unless daddy government is paying the bills...
One last note (And not meant to insight any racial grudges) How come there is a "Necessity" for our leave to be screwed in Christmas time and New Years and yet non for Ramadan? Wouldnt it make more sense for the Non-Muslim crews to operate during the holly month and for the Muslim crews to operate during Christmas holidays? That way everyone gets what they want...

To help with the 320 crew shortage we will soon be welcoming contract Capts who will be offered commuting contracts. The deal will give a block of approx 7 days off per month but this will not be available to present employees.
That should cheer everyone up

So everybody will resign,and re-apply for this commuting contract!
Well if commuting contract is possible for contracts pilots..it should be possible for all 320 pilots.!!
And the Shortness of crew as well as the resignation rate will be quicly resolved,believe me!(even if it goes with a cut in the salary).

I do confirm :"paramount" is recruiting A-320 Captains and F/O for Qatar airways...but nothing "officialy" mentions commuting contract.
But if people are looking for a commuting contract,they won't come to qatar, better options exist in Saudi,China( 6weeks on 3 weeks off), for almost the same salary as here!
"Terms and conditions..will be "discussed" during interview!"

Qatar Airways is so cheap they need to use a second rate agency like paramount. Why not Parc or Rishworth, anyway no were does it state that commuting is on offer. Qr is capable of promising just so you will come then change the story once your here. welcome to Doha, the unhappiest place on earth.
