Hi parahawk,
I had the same thing. First i got the confirmation message. Later on, i did an update and submitted again and then i did not get any confirmation. I think it must be the system which is going mad.
So far i c you are not the only one with this problem.

Parahawk,
I don't think you need to worry about that. Expat wives do get jobs here without too much trouble. There is a need for all types of professionals in fast-growing Qatar. The respect issue I find is quite the opposite to what your wife is concerned about. My wife has always been respectfully treated here both by locals and other expats. It seems like women do have a "protected" standing in society, even if they are foreigners (and dressed like foreigners). I definitely don't see the "second class citizen" problem you mention, though I'm sure there are exceptions, so let's hear from others to get a balanced picture.
I must say, in general as foreigners we don't enjoy equal treatment under the law. If your wife has a car accident with a local, she will probably get the blame, regardless of the circumstances. Accept it and let the insurance company handle it. This is a battle you won't win.
Best of luck.

Heey Guys,
Just wondering if the recruitment team has been changed or something not normal with it, im aware of the training backlog and lots of pilots are joining but i havent got my offer letter yet. ?
Interview FTSO was 13th of sept
Good news 19th of october
Offer letter supposed to be 4 weeks after the good news but nothing till now, thoug tried to get to the HR office all is thr same answer `your application is being processed`
Have heard also some got their offers n had their interview months after me!
Also if Black pudding can tell me if shall i wait to the FO Minimums which woukd take another 6 months? What r the draw backs to join as FTSO
cheers

Interesting Read
I was reading on another site called Cabincrew.com about someones personal experience. It is from the perspective of a FA however, I try to find as much as I can before uprooting and making a major change such as this. A lot of this article will not apply to the pilot group but some will. It is by the author albaker and is called Before Applying for Qatar Airways Posted 02/02/2012 at 08:57
May be worth a read and your time?

Hey all,
Firstly a big thank you to the contributors here. I've been lurking in this forum for a while with my application for QR having gone in early Jan. Guess I have a long wait ahead.
Just found this on flight global, could this be the reason for the latest delays?

tax question
I was talking to my accountant and he said to be careful with the tax exemption status for working abroad-he said it was up to $100,000 and if you were in the use for more than 30 days even while on vacation you lose your tax exemption status. Don't you all get 45 days leave? I also was wondering about the wide body trips as they do have over nights in the USA-do those count?
One of the big factors in taking the job is the extra money you get while over seas-who does your finances and what other loop holes are there you can use? Does your housing allowance/per diem get counted as income?
Thanks

Qatar Fleet?
Hi guys
I'm applying for Qatar: I was a FO flying the B737, A320/1 and A310.
Last 12 years as a Captain (flying for a big business aviation company) in the Gulfstream 550 (less than 50 tons....41...!!!). So I'm applying for FO.
Can anyone tell me witch fleet can I expected if joining?
Thanks!
