Gdukkog,
Shouldn't post that to anybody. Especially not you!
Go back a few pages and look at how you were moaning on here.
That guy will do fine in QR, good luck to you here though.
Good Day.

Medical
Lobsterexplosion:
The medical is just a pain, but it is doable. If I might offer a suggestion, do NOT use the doctor at the Al Alhi hospital. Use the other facility (can't remember the name). You will pass using either one, but the equipment at the Al Alhi hospital seems to be a bit flaky and the doctor will send you off to several specialists to have them sign you off. It takes time and is a bit stressful, but have not heard of anyone not passing, and there are some over 55 doing an initial.
You will need cash to pay for the medical examinations. It may cost up to 1,500 QAR depending if you get sent off to some specialists. Submit all bills to the fleet secretary and EVENTUALLY they will be paid.
The medical requires two visits to the hospital/clinic. It is early in the process (first week) so transportation is provided. The second visit is to cover the results and have the doctor sign off the aviation form for your license. A copy of this must go to the fleet secretary when you turn in your receipts.
The eye examination is no worse than anything experienced in other exams.
Once again, when arriving here, have access to a fair bit of cash. If you bring US Dollars, they must be printed since 2007 or they may be rejected (as I found out at the hotel). US Dollars exchange at a fixed rate.
The first 10 days are very, very busy. Water and rest, as much as you can for the more senior chaps. For the younger lads... party on
(though you may find the prices in the bar a bit daunting).

JAR ATPL
Hello,
Does Qatar Airways require the MCC and JAR ATPL exams before being invited to the interview or pilots can do the interview before submitting the required documents?

You do require an MCC and a Frozen ATP in order to get contacted/shortlisted by Qatar Airways.
You must hold at least frozen ATPL to get invited to the assessment. but not necessarily an MCC.
I've met many who have been invited to the assessment before they've done their MCC. However, the MCC is still a main requirement before joining. Also it would be for your own benefit guys if you have the MCC beforehand as it will enrich your knowledge and CRM during both the interview and the sim ride! Some interview questions are really based on your CRM knowledge and experience.
All the best

@ 777 aviator
it was the case when you could get your MCC after induction. You are right on that. But now, thats not the case. You need to have MCC and FATP OR just ATP to be called/shortlisted.

Need on honest answer!
Hi everyone,
I have a short question.
I'm around 50 hours short (flight time) for one of requirements for fast track second officer. Should I wait to apply or is it OK if I still go ahead and apply? (I'm currently not flying anymore)
I would appreciate for an honest answer???

Hello all,
I understand when joining Qatar Airways crew are provided with uniform. I've also read on here that flight bags, shoes and company belts are provided? Is this the case?
If so, are the company flight bags and shoes a compulsory part of the uniform or can we use our own? My beloved flight bag has been with me for yonks
What make are the bags and shoes? (Just interested !)
Good luck to those awaiting good news and thanks for any information.
Cliff.

Bags and Shoes
The flight bag is made by Delsey and is a roller board lockable flight bag. I looked at the Delsey website but could not find this model so suspect it may be custom made. The bag includes a computer sleeve and gadget container. Not bad but definitely not a nostalgia design.
Shoes are Hush Puppies. I have always worn shoes from another manufacturer as I believe in comfort over design. However, after wearing the allotted shoes, find them very comfortable AND security scanner safe. Very conventional with soft souls.
Uniform doesn't look too bad though try EVERYTHING on before taking it away, even the belt and the tie tacks (some don't secure properly).
Not been here long enough to know if they expect the issued flight bag to be used on the line, but have seen some well worn bags that I am SURE the airline wishes were put to rest .
