CAT1 I am sure much of your post will resonate with many here. The plight of migrant workers has been highlighted by a number of Human Rights organisations but as stated in your post they have no recourse whilst in the country. They do not have freedom or liberty in any sense of the word.

In cases where pilots are sacked the pay entitlement is withheld and as the contracts are under Qatari they cannot be enforced in law. Mr Al Baker is a very unsympathetic and runs the airline as with an iron fist and very little consideration.

I would say the lifestyle in Qatar is pretty much as described in the post. I have had a message from the Don't Fly Qatar Airways website and they have asked in if there are any pilots and staff who have been treated unfairly and wish to go on the record. If so please pm me and I will get u in touch.

About PSA
 

Hi Guys...

Anyone knows about the content of new PSA(Pilot Suitability Assessment) that QR are using now..?
I received a mail requesting to complete this test, so, i am waiting for some new inforation about it content.

I will appreciate any information

Like nobody helps me, i had to do it, and this is what i see:
3 blocks of questions, Yes or No.. Almost 180-200 question each block...
Psycho questions like "Do you like party everyday?, do you like to be famous?, do you like to drive fast?, do you like adventure sports?, do you like to work in team?"
All these questions made repeteadly and in a several different ways with same meaning!.
Be careful to do not fall in the trap!.

Roger, you probably did very well because nobody helped you ! The "cheat" mentality in the industry is phenominal. Every one dashing around looking for answers to interviews, sim tests, renewals and psych tests. For the latter, remember, there is often no correct answer. Instead, a personality profile is built up through consistency. Flit about with answers you may "think" are correct and an inaccuarate picture will result. BE YOURSELF.

My last type conversion was with a cheater. He managed to get hold of the sim profiles handed to the instructors. He offerd them to me. I declined, rather bravely, claiming that I preferred to "know" the aircraft rather than give the impression, falsely, that I did. Of course he whizzed through everything with grade "A" 's. I needed several repeats but in exchange, got some seriously good instruction. I never felt comfortable Dead Heading behind him in J !!

Fo or Capt does that matter?
 

So the FO have to do more flights than the Capt on the long haul a/c due to the difference of logbook hours ? Does this mean an extra trip per month? Anyone had more recent experience ie this year?
