Flytdeck if you encourage discussions and opinions (as you said )let the people express their opinions,should it be positive or negative...even though we can't do anything.this is I guess the primary purpose of this thread.,isn'it?
Or do you mean everybody should be happy with the 60% increase for Qataris only?

Salamalium2:

This forum ENCOURAGES individuals to express their opinion just as I expressed mine and I would encourage you to express yours.

In answer to your question, I am very happy that the Qatari Monarchy is sharing the abundant good fortune and wealth of their country with their citizens. I am also pleased that some of this good fortune coincides with my professional training and they are willing to supply me fair remuneration for my education, experience, and training.

Indeed in would be in both our financial interests to be a Qatari citizen. The question remains as to whether you would trade your heritage for this benefit?

The thread title itself is misleading. ALL Qataris have gotten a raise. While this is an aviation based site, we look at it from that perspective. But looking at this holistically, this is not an 'insult' or an affront on expat terms and conditions.

Working here in Oman, it's nice to see the local government provide perks and benefits which we can only dream of in our home country. It's ironic because talking to local Omanis, they seem to have a certain bit of envy at the level of support the Qatari and UAE govt. offers to its citizens.

So a little heartburn is understandable but the reactions on this thread almost border on the ridiculous. The relationship we have with our Middle Eastern employers is symbiotic. We both need each other just as much. Like anywhere in the world, the relationship always tilts in favour of the employer, except in the case of collective representation (even with that, the asymmetry tilts only marginally).

Kudos to the govt. and hope for the locals to utilize these advantages judiciously.
