QATAR AIR FORCE Sea King NEW JOBS
I have been updated by a Uk company (Terrcon) that the Qatar Air Force's long awaitied announcement is out and they are now ready to hire some Pilots, Engineers and Rear crew to fill Sea King slots
The "work in the Gulf" thread has some views on Qatar but they are lost in the ADA noise, but haven't seen a good word yet.
I'm actually in UAE this week and thought I may pop up for a visit
Any thoughts on Qatar Air Force?

No I haven't missspelt it!
Unless they have mispelt it intentionally on the job app form it says
"Terrcon (UK) Limited New World Security consultants and Anti-Terrorist specialists"
but that is as close to advertising as I would like to go

All I will say is make your own decision but be careful and research any potential contract and life in Qatar very carefully.
I spent a year working for the Qatar Emiri Air Force and left under my own terms after a simple refusal to honour my contract with regards to pay, terms etc and the fact it took them over 6 months to pay me at all and give me accommodation. The people there are an interesting mix - some great and progressive, some will blatantly lie to you and do something else and some will just try to stitch you up.
If you can handle that, all of the instant experts in the QEAF who insist they are excellent at things they have never done, plus institutional racism, mental attitude towards driving, limited activities in and around Doha and the fact you need a visa to leave the country then go for it. It didn't suit me or another guy I went with and they messed a third guy around over his medical so he left quite early. Out of 4 employed only one is left - he obviously has the patience of a saint or he might be in the Ramada bar all the time!
Enjoy.

Did you know you can't access www.qatarsucks.com from inside the country!!!!! Wonder why?!?!?!?
I have tried a little research to find TERRCON (UK) Ltd and various other speelinks but haven't found anything on the world wide webternet! Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.

Awwww
Now you've made poor little Qatar feel bad. It's not such a bad place. The weather rocks if you like hot (I do). the LuLu store is hands down the best grocery store I've ever been to anywhere. Lunch or Coffee on the Corniche is a pleasure.
I'd go back if Gulf Helis ever changed their management style.

Update
I haven't heard anything beyond rumour control, the "start in October" initial request in July is still the party line, it does make one wonder what happened in the interim, have they fixed everything another way? Is is with someone else from the US or France?
I would have thought the Pruners in Qatar would have mentioned something if this was the case but it's all quiet in that corner.
In the same way we don't define by which Christams we'll all be home by I guess they didn't say which October!

Bit naughty if the directors are trading under the wrong company name.
