As Qatari515 mentioned already - CEO whatever has obviously no clue or is a local 
... sorry, just a small joke from time to time...
Salaries are much lover as already explained AND whereever you work work in the gulf, believe me, it's always the same ..... interesting thing. Locals normally get a much better life than we expats, because we are expats and more or less scum in their eyes. Just to make this point clear. Anyway, who cares, we all know where they would be without the oil and gas, still riding camels.
So - yes, salaries are ok if you round up transport, housing and what sort ever allowance. It is true, back home(I m talking about good old europe here) we are not getting housing allowance, transport allowance and we pay a hell of amount tax - BUT HEY, thats why we are here. For sure it is not the natural beauty of Doha and the lovely locals that are bringing us down here.
For QR you can assume the following - if you are not local or part of the indian mafia you will never make career in this airline, many will deny it, but it is a sad fact. So, be carefully if planning to leave your european airline and heading down to Doha(or the ME in general), it might be the worst decision of your life. So consider carefully if you want to put a worthless dollar over trade unions, more or less unlimited sick leave, retirement funds..... I did the move and I am not so sure if that was really such a wise decision.....

I'd like to see our brilliant new HR manager addressing all the problems including exchange rate, inflation housing etc. Some incentives might straighten the things a bit, like get us our overtime back, pay the actual block time, restore the seniority. Big issue the fuel savings......yea right, keep on dreaming I say. Motivation is more than negative to do anything for this outfit but maybe introduction of fuel savings bonus will help till then M.83. Drop those silly housing rules and assign accommodation as per seniority.
Anyway QR can't buy our hearts but maybe cooperation.

This stupid "saving "fuel policy implement by Q.A...is probably coming from brilliant people sitting in the office and watching the figures all the day and who are not flying...
If they want to save fuel, first of all they should change the schedule of the flights, in order to avoid all the flight to leave or come back at the same time in Doha ..
(as this airport(and ATC) is not really adapted for such a traffic,expecially when everybody has decided to fly at the same time, Qatar airways, college, fighter, gulf helicopter.....)..This will avoid unecessary delay on arrival and departure,and fighting for our level.. and will probably save millions of riyals/year, as this airport is completly oversaturated during certain period of time, while itīs completly empty during other period...!
Money wise...Where is the Famous increase announced one hundred time by CEO PITA a few weeks ago(28%...)
...Any news CEO....????

The annual menstrual cycle of the Goat explained:
Frustrated management out, fresh smiling faces at desk.
New talk, hearing same thing.
If pay go up, inflation rise too.
Sand too hot walking in summer. sand make bum wet in winter.
Only thing to really change = smart boy's plans....
