Qatar Airways Emplyees (Not Flight Crew)

Hello all,
I'm asking this question to the Qatar Airways Emplyees or the ones who knows a Qatar Airways Employee.
Do you have the QR accomodation or are you renting by your own?? If you're renting by your own is this was your choice or QR choice??
Well here's why I'm asking:
I just signed a (nice) contract with QR offered a very nice base salary + allowances etc.
The only thing I'm worried about is this clause saying that QR can either CHOOSE to give me a flat OR to give me 3500Qr compensation.
Obviously I want the QR flat they're offring since I can't get any descent flat with 3500. But I'm wondering if they can give me 3500 which I won't like at all.
What do you guys think about this?
Cheers

Good luck and cheers!!!

the available flats for ground staffs are going very fast, QTR first priorities are the flight crews and the flight attendants, so your chances of getting one are very slim

Hawk, my feeling is that they don't have anymore flats!

Anyone here to confirm?

Cheers

as far as i know with your job grade they'll provide a 3 bedroom flat. if they still have some available flats. if not then you'll end up having the 3500QR.

Dear Sir,

Depending on what position you have been accepted, they do give housing allowance but as you have mentioned 3500Qr you obviously have a normal position.

If i were you i would take their housing facilities as they are offering good standards, cause anyway 3500 will get you nothing in Doha unless you share it with someone.

All the best

they give housing allowance to ground staff, but 3500 u will not find other than 1 single room shared kitchen and bathroom. better fight for QR accom.

I never heard that QR provide cash money for rents. They provide furnished accomodation.

3500, is too as housing allowance. Unless may be for low jobs.
