CC arm doors for departure and X check
Excellent!
I think there is no need to be negative for the guys who just passed. I know what it feels when you get that little nice e-mail in your box saying that finally you were successful, specially when you know that you’ve been chosen among 500 other folks. Eiish..what a luck ! And one has to realize that.
In my humble opinion, I think that QR is an adventure that one has to experience by him/her self, and then make his/her own judgment/opinion. In all cases, I hope that you’ll enjoy the experience, but there will be some of you that definitely will not.
What I noticed recently is that QR is trying to change there recruitment profile: They go now and recruit in NZ, US, AUS, CAN, UK. Well, I don’t know if these guys will get used to DOHA….
Anyway, take the most of it, learn as much as you can. You’ll get to know your self and your limits, how far you can go, how much you can take and keep moving forward, you’ll get to deal with situations like never before. Every single day, will be a different day. It doesn’t mean that everyday will be a pleasant day. And for those who will land there in the next few months, don’t forget: It will be 47°C with high % of humidity !
Enjoy the ride folks, at least for a while.

Hello, i´m comercial pilot and i´m going to attend to the open day of Madrid the 25th of april.
My question is, if i should tell them in my cv and in the interview that i´m a pilot or not, do you think that be a pilot could be positive or negative during the appointment?
thanks so much and sorry about my english.

Training in DOH
Thank you very much ITO for your post! I believe it really encourages us!! Yes, many rumours about QR. But I think we have to go for it and see with our own eyes. Then we can know if we really like it or not. As you said, everyone is different.
Could you please share us your training programm with QR? Was it hard? I was told that my english is not so good. So I scare that I won't pass the training. How many exam did you need to pass during the 7-week training?
Many thanks for your post.

Excellent !
Abigailnoo , don’t worry about the English. You’ll meet so many cabin crews who speak it just “so so”, but as you go with your training and as you’ll mix with others, you’ll be obliged to speak in English, and it will just improve. I don’t think that it will have an impact on your exams. If others did it, you can do it also. The exams are pretty much eaaaaaaasy, nothing to worry about, even though you will :-)
The cabin crew training is divided into 3 parts:
1 – Service training: the on board service routine. How to serve, what to serve…etc All the food you’ll be using is real, and you’ll eat it by the end of the day. All the new joiners like that part.
2 – SEP (safety equipments & procedures): Fire extinguisher and all the safety equipment you eventually might use one day (we don’t hope that). This part include sessions on the mock up (simulated airplane cabin) to practice evacuation and door opening (door trainer)
3- First aid: The medical part.
All the above includes written and practical test. You’ll also go for a fire fighting drill, and you’ll fly also to Dubai by the end of your training and do the ditching training at Emirates CAE centre. This one will be a nice day and you’ll have fun. After all these steps: You’ll get your certificates, assigned to your observation flights, get your 1st flying roster, and the real thing will THEN start, and you better be ready for it !
Last but not the least, the “rumors” about QR are just a simple reality and I can certify that. However, I don’t want to go on the negative side, especially for you guys who are going there for the first time. And anyway we can’t get something without having the hurdle of something else, so It’s a 50-50 situation, but you’ll explore it by your self, and as said before, not all of us are the same, so everyone will take it differently. Some will get along with it, some will hate it and just leave, but pleas be advised that resigning before 2 years in the company, you’ll have to pay the remaining of the service bond ( total service bond = + - 2200 USD )
So, here we go, enjoy your day.
ITO.

"I don't want to go on the negative side"
In my opinion it's best to be honest about the things that are actually going on down in Qatar. Because there are many things and once there is can be really difficult to get out. They are changing their recruitment profile because the airline has received complaints on only having crew from Asia. We'll see how long the Western crew last or before they start making noises.
English shouldn't be an issue for you as you passed the interviews. I came across crew that could barely speak a single word of it. Training will be intense, six days a week, with exams more or less every day (they usually test you orally on the things that you were taught the day before). If you don't pass, the instructor will tell you off (first warning). If you fail again, they'll make you stand in the "naughty corner" (second warning) and on your third failure you'll be called into the office to speak to the wonderful CCM (third warning) where they take a decision whether to put you through training again or send you home (of course you would need to pay your bond).
They'll also teach your grooming throughout the training, which is a very important part at QR, on how to do you hair, make-up and nails. Before each flight you will be screened, by a GO (Grooming Officer), who will make sure that you are up to standards.

ITO & EMMA
Thank you so much for your post..I really appreciate it.
I will try my best. Now I have to settle the medical stuff first.
Do we really need to submit the medical certificates within two days after we receive the "Congrat" mail? I meant, it is a short time as now there are Eastern Holidays..
Thank you.
Chino...thank you for the congratulation. Hope to see u in DOH.
When is you date of join?

Medical
Negstyle89...
Congratulation to you! I am on the same position with you. Could you please tell me, how can you send them already the medical examination form before you consult with the doctors?
I am so confuse and do not know what should I do. 2 days will not be possible to complete the medical, not even to get an appointment with the doctor.

I reckon it would be an advantage, I guess, due to the large experience in aviation. But, anyways, why would a pilot want to be cabin crew?
Myself, I am going for Madrid on the 25th as well

New in pprune
Hi guys,
I'm in pprune and have so many questions.
First of all I'm just like some of you who need to complete the Medicals from Qatar.The 2 days deadline is a bit of a joke.Don't you think?
How are we supposed to complete everything in such a short period.
Again in the uniform-forms they require Applicant's Number and training start date.How do i know my applicants no. and the training start date?
I'm a bit confused and worried about the whole thing.Could someone help me please?
Thanks

The two day deadline has always been in place and in certain countries it's difficult, and more or less impossible, to do this in this time frame. If you cannot complete your medicals within two days you must inform your recruitment officer ASAP.
Applicant Number and Date of Joining should also been forward to you by your recruitment officer. Email them!
