Working for Qatar Airways

Wasip4711 — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:13:26 +0300

Howzit guys and dolls, I am coming over for an interview next week, with QA and wanted to know if there are any Saffies working for management in QA in this blog group??

I am looking at potentially earning between 23 and 25k local currency per month, housing is provided, 3 bedroom apartment, schooling is also catered for, as well as discounted airfares, and One free family trip home per annum.

My questions are as follows:

1) Is this a fair salary for a manager at QA?
2) I have been hearing distrubing stories of how they treat there staff, but it may be confined to cabin crew, but I am not sure?
3) What would the general quality of accommodation quality be at my level?
4) Besides the obvious, are they a reputable employer based on international standards.
5) I have 3 young children, and wife will be working, what is the cost of a fulltime live-in philipino nanny, approx....

Thats about it for now....hope to meet some of you folk for a lekker braai soon...

Regards:

My name is Willie Ras and i live in Bloemfontein, SA. I was made a offer to come and work in Doha as a Transport planner for Mowasalat. The offer isnt clear yet but i was told it would be around R50000.00 or 24641.00 QAR Basic salary, then accomodation and travel allowance will be added. I know everyone ask this but i want to find out from other south africans what you think. What is the minimum amount QAR that will be able to sustain a family of 3 as my wife won't be working. How much must be budgeted for the following:

Accomodation
Vehicle Allowance (Any 4x4)
Groceries
Broadband Internet
Satellite TV (If available)

Please feel free to reply with additional items you know of that i missed.

As i read on your forums, there are quite a lot of South Africans working in Doha. Do you all socialise? etc.

Kind Regards

Willie Ras

ps. I am trying to do my homework as best as possible as this is a big step for someone like me who have never left SA before.
