Need info
Hi everyone,
I just received my contract and I really don't know what to do.
It says that if I fail for any reason or decide to leave I will have to pay the company the amount of QR7350, they will deduct QR 350 every month for 21 months. At the screening they told us that they will also deduct from salary for accommodation, so I am really worried if the balance amount from the salary will be enough for leaving in Doha. Can anyone who is a cabin crew member give me an advice.
And also I would really like to know what is the life in Doha, what you can do in your free time ( if you have)...any kind of information
Many thanks!!!

It's 100% that Qatar will not take you with this medical history.
I'm sorry.
...
The salary is more than enough for living. Don't worry, djuvki. I'm quite surprised that you applied for this job, did the interview, finished the medicals and NOW you are interested in the salary and the lifestyle in Doha for cabin crew. You had plenty of time to do a thorough research. I hope you had a fantastic vacation, though.

Djuvki: Doha has improved a lot over the years (when I was there we used to call it Dohell) but yet expats are saying that there isn't that much to do in your spare time. But, Doha is not anywhere near Dubai and what they have to offer.
What to do in your spare time depends on your interests. Go to the beach, spend time with friends, go shopping or do some sports. In the middle of the summer when the temperature reaches 50 degrees you really don't want to do anything except being inside trying to cool yourself.
Plan your shopping accordingly in case you are operating two flights with minimum rest between in Doha, or doing a standby block, as you would not be eligible to leave your accommodation for any reason.

Shall I wait or email them?
Hey there everyone,
I have conducted the Cabin Crew interview held in Doha, on the 23rd of July 2011. I have reached the final interview in the same day, there was also around 10 other candidates. Since the 23rd of July 2011, I haven't received any emails nor 4 of the other candidates I got to know there. However one of the candidates received an email after a week, that he wasn't successful. My question is shall I be patient and wait for longer or shall I email them? They said to email them if we don't get a reply within three weeks. Anyone been in this situation? And what was the result positive or negative? And do you guys think it's a good or bad sign that they didn't email me up to now?
I am very curious to know weither I am in or not. I don't want to email them, so I would look unpatient and desperate, but at the same time I am worried it is the wrong thing to do. Also they've mentioned to email them, if we don't get a reply within 3 weeks.
Please let me know your opinion. I would appreciate your help and prompt reply.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Merna

Medical for Qatar Airways
Hi
I have recently received my congratulations letter and just completed all my medicals my doctor has told me all is clear i will be submitting them today!
i am abit nervous on what to expect when i get to Doha for their medical, will i be asked to be in my underwear? i am really nervous about that as i am a very private person and not even a nurse should see me naked.

Hi Merna!
if you have passed the 3 weeks mark, it might be good to send them an e-mail. After all, that's what they have advised. Things might be a bit busier now with the shorter Ramadan hours, i think most work now from 7 AM - 1 PM and considering that the recruitment is not letting up, things might not move as fast as we applicants want to.
Although one thing I've noticed, when people of the same FI get their congrats e-mail they get it togehter. For the rejection e-mail, some say they get it together too. So you're still in the clear, dear.
E-mail and do share with us your journey, I wish you all the best.
@brilliantlyblessed: I've finished the medicals too and that's my concern when we reach Doha. But for now, do the happy dance you're another step nearer to the goal!

hi Merna.
I am in the same situation as you.
I did my FI since on the 17th of July. It wasn't a big crowd of applicants about a 70 of us but less than 100. We did the FI the same day, 5 in the final.
Since then I am still waiting for an answer....
yes they did ask us to e.mail them after the 3 weeks if we dont hear from them... just dont know what to do...

Shall I email them or not yet?
@Ravenlulu thank you very much for your advice.And yes I couldn't agree less about things moving slow in Ramadan, especially in the Middle East, obviously.
At that point you are telling me to email them, I am still a bit confused on doing so. Because I know a friend of mine that knows someone that received their congrats email after 2 months, at the same time another one didn't receive it in 3 weeks so he emailed them, they didn't reply so he called them and he was told he was successful. So I am still not sure on weither to email or not yet. When did you receive your congrats letter? Did you email them? Anyhow congrats and best of luck in your next step!
I still would like to hear from other candidates what's their opinion concerning my situation and all the other fellows stuck at this point. I would appreciate all replies to my post.
Thank you again very much!
@Skyboy, I guess you are an additional candidate that joined list of "I don't know what to do" Here is the same, I am feeling the exact same way, don't know what to do at all! Do not what's best to do, and weither my next step would be wrong or right. I decided me and my fellows whom I reached the final with (not all of them) to email them either Saturday or Sunday. But before that I wanted to get some many advices from the forum on what's best to do. So here I am asking for more advices and help. Skyboy as Ravenlulu said no news for quite a while means good news. Let's pray for the best! Just remember to always be positive, you know yourself after all. Here is the thing, follow the thread and see other peoples opinions and then decide what to do. That's what I have planned with the other 4 candidates I know. I can put you on the list 
to let you know what we will be doing. I will tell you anyways. By the way, did you get any of the final candidates numbers? And if you did, did anyone hear from Qatar Airways yet?
Guys I would appreciate additional advice, I am really in need to know what to do, I am also travelling for a family holiday in a week; so I am a bit confused on what to do, but I want this job badly!
Tell all of those confused, what to do!
Thanks in advance!
Good day!

Hello everyone
I just got an e-mail that says I've been reccomended to the position of CC. I was happy,however now I'm starting to have second thoughts. Is it so strickt that females should remain singles for 3 years after they get the job? What if I want to? And second,is it just work,work,or there'still some chance for pursuing a private life too?
Thx

Tatyana: QR is a very strict airline with many written (and unwritten) regulations which you need to obey. During your first three years of service with the company you are not allowed to get married. Once those three years have passed, you still need to ask the company for permission to get married and they will make an individual decision based on your performance with the company.
Getting a private life is doable but can be difficult sometimes because of the curfew and not being allowed to spend any nights out of your accommodation in Qatar, except whilst on duty of course.
Like many of us previous employees have said, QR literally becomes your life. Some don't mind, some do.

Thank you Emma
They didn't mention anything about this three year obligation. So I'm really starting to hesitate. And could you please tell me about the holidays and day off allowed per year?
Thanks again
