... from the people I know, a lot of the issues seem to be centred around claiming stuff back. Also it seems it’s hard now to get stuff done outside of Qatar.
For me the change in provider hasn’t made too much of a difference, with Allianz I only really used it for a handful of Dermatology appointments and prescriptions (in Qatar) and a couple of pairs of glasses.
I spoke to the guy in the QROC the other day... and it’s basically the same process, no pre-authorisation, just go straight to the hospital (Al Ahli is my
preferred) and it’s covered, subject to a 20% participation fee for the consultation (it was 10 with Allianz).
I’m from the UK, so for anything serious, unless physically unable, i’d much rather drag myself back to the UK and get treatment on the NHS with British trained or based doctors (as was the case with Allianz). Obviously for people from other countries that have a private healthcare system, they may rely on their company healthcare scheme a bit more.

Hi, quick help....
I applied for QR some years back, got "regret" and ever since then my application page is stuck. Even if I update my dynamic details on the application page which I have done a couple of times, I am never able to submit it and the status page keeps on showing "regret". How do I reapply with latest details (please don't suggest to make a new email id....any other solution please)?

I do know that they take SO from their own training though, as I will start my course with one of them.

Hello! I have some questions about Qatar. Well, I am flying B737NG at the moment as a FO and I have an estimated time for upgrade for a captain position in about a maximum time of two years from now. So now I have the minimums for applying for Qatar. I would like to fly the triple seven, the questions I have are about after completing the pilot screening if they call me to fly the 777 or 787, can I choose any of them? What about the time for upgrating for a captain position there and the requirements? What is the salary base and top and how much per hour in USD for FO? Do they have eCrew system or something like that where I can request flights for some destinations? (the company I am right now I can bid some fligths, for example, if I ask JFK, that is gonna be a bunch of JFK`s on my schedule for the next month). Talk about the benefits on the country and for flying back home or leisure flights. Thanks.

No, you’ll be put on any fleet they require you and this could be after you arrive and not the fleet mentioned on your offer letter.
What about the time for upgrating for a captain position there and the requirements?
Cant comment as it’s company policy. For new joiners anything below 5 years is a bonus. I would plan on 5-6 years but it changes as time goes by.

PPJN is pretty accurate
Do they have eCrew system or something like that where I can request flights for some destinations? (the company I am right now I can bid some fligths, for example, if I ask JFK, that is gonna be a bunch of JFK`s on my schedule for the next month).
Yes we do and also a flight swap request application
Talk about the benefits on the country and for flying back home or leisure flights.
Can earn good money, see the world. If you join here, you should plan to live here and accept the country. It’s not difficult. Many have been here for years and have no intention of leaving. Some love it, some hate it and some tolerate it. Those that hate it only last a couple of years and then thankfully leave.
You say you would love to fly the triple ? Really, why ? If flying the triple is more important to you than anything else, I suggest you think long and hard before coming here.
