Had 7 years Dubai 1 year Doha, its what you make of it. Positive people look to the positive, moaners do what they usually do and moan. Sure there are things that could be better, but there are worse places. Huge investment, growing infrastructure, entertainment and services but its not London, Paris or Dubai.
As always go back and ask what are you trying to acheive? Career progression, financial progression, a change or whatever. And if you don't like it you can leave. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.....

We are hiring and the hiring process can be found somewhere around here.
B777 is the only fleet currently taking on DEC. On all other fleets DEC hiring has been stopped due to too many captains plus a lot of FOs ready to be upgraded internally.
We need more FOs to be joining urgently and we have seen the numbers of newly hired FOs rising dramatically over the last months!
All comments regarding medical are correct. You better take out some personal cover as well in case you have a family to take care of. Whatever QR offers you is not enough!

"Hi,

cheers"
I get it right? Are you considering leave an A320 left seat job in the USA to head to DOHA?
What you've been smoking/drinking mate?

How to follow rules in QR?
at SNAM
Quote ... simple, just follow the rule if you like it or, if not, go away!
You're right, thats the attitude of surviving everywhere! But this does not apply to QR at all.
First: most of the rules are "established" by AAB and are not written down. You mentioned the deduction if you sleep in F class during Osaka flight. The only thing what is written in the manual is the reservation of the BC seat. Nobody is talkig about where not to sit!
Second: If you get punished by that, don't think that will happen on the correct way...no warning letter, no remark, no adherence to the Qatari Labour Law at all...you will realise it,when you want to check out from QR after resignation.They take your passport (to cancel RP) and only after that you have to clear the finance and will realise that 2/3 of a monthly salary is missing! Ha, if you don't agree, you stuck coz your passport is in their hand.
If you claiming to follow rules and matters of educated behaviour so address it to QR !! Here the rules are not to apply, only one rule is here: AAB, the egomaniac god
Anyway, everybody who is brave enough to join should keep in mind - soon or later they got you, somehow, somewhere - no matter what you do (or not do), the storybook in QR is full with bs!
Good luck

Absolutely right clipperchef. No rules in that zoo. The rostering permanently bends the rules the way they want. AAB does whatever suits him. People are intimidated, offended and scared to do anything. No respect for privacy or humanity whatsoever. The Indian mafia is everywhere blocking any incentives trying to infiltrate the zoo. Once occupied they poison everything and frozen ice age sets in. Young Qataries are flighting to get back and trying to take over the shop. Interesting times shall we see ahead. Sure you want to join? If I was f/o with 2-3 k hours not a chance, for what?

Licence
at Donalde
You fly with a Qatari Licence, you'll can keep that when you leave again. The question is whever it is accepted where you go or not. So better to keep your homelicence in parallel

Just to make it clear QR still hires DEC on all fleets despite the pseudo BAN advertised on the web. Bullsh%t my friend all under the table as many other things here or does anyone out there dare to oppose?

So many new applicants????
Where do you get your information from mate?
They are struggling to meet the demand.
And if we see some new guys filtering through, none of them actually is high calibre material!
Some reasons people are joining QR these days:
1) They will give you a typerating on a modern airliner for virtually nothing in return. A320/330/340 en 777 are the most sought after TRs around...
2) They come to make a quick buck...many of the guys joining now are coming from parts of the world where the salaries are significantly lower and where the local currencies usually are pegged to the USD. They come here, save money and usually run after 3 years...
3) To get a licence which is worth a little bit more than the standard ICAO licence
4) To get experience on heavy airplanes....
5) To run away from a politically or other dangerous situation back home...
In short, most people come and survive here a few years, use the compnay for personal benefits and than run away!
NOBODY is here out of a career decision....
Remember the golden Sandpit adaggio...
Dont come here for a career....you will leave in exactly the same position as the one you joined with...(and this is true in 99% of the cases)
SNAM....open your eyes!

Snam your eyes should very much concentrate on reading the books my friend not on pprune particularly being short of CU.
Wise judgment? Get your command first then try to make some wise judgments online only afterwards maybe weigh to move somewhere.
Just a friendly advise my friend.
Don't take it personally take it on the rocks!!!
