Hi Guys,
A question for Qatar Airways pilots: What does the second officer position in Qatar entail and how long does it take to reach F/O? Quiet an important question for me, if anyone can help i'd appreciate a lot!

Type rating, extended ground courses, something like 120 sectors line training (forget the exact number). Used to take about a year to a year and a half to complete but I heard from an SO some time back that they were being sent home for a while because of a shortage of training captains. Not sure how long for or whether this is still the case.
I expect someone here can come along and fill in the blanks or correct me.

Visual Exam 1st class medical
Anyone flying in QR knows if there's a restriction on corrected vision. After looking thru the Qatar regulations in regards de visual exam for 1st class medical certificate, it states:
Applicants shall be considered fit with respect to refractive errors if they meet the following requirements:
(1) Refractive error
(i) At the initial examination the refractive error shall not exceed ±3 dioptres (see paragraph 2 (a) Appendix 13 to Subpart B).
APPENDIX 13 TO SUBPARTS B AND C VISUAL REQUIREMENTS
(See QCAR - MED 215, 220, 335 and 340)
1. Refraction of the eye and functional performance shall be the index for assessment.
2.
(a) Class 1. If the refractive error is within the range ±5 dioptres the designated body or institution may consider Class 1 certification if:
(1) no significant pathology can be demonstrated;
(2) optimal correction has been considered.
Wanted to know if there is any pilot who has a refractive error greater than -5 when they joined QR. I want to know if exceptions are made, don't want to quit job and have my medical certificate denied because if this requirement. Thanks for your help.

correct me if i'm wrong but Qatar seems to be the quickest way to get to the left seat? (compared to EK and the another one in Abu Dhabi)
Does this also counts if you would enter in De 787 or 777 fleet?
Good luck to everyone!

Actually I thought upgrade was only 2-3 years at "other airline".
Qatar has fast track command of two years after final line check if qualified....meaning you have total time and on the widebody either 2000 hours on fleet or heavy jet experience in excess of 2000(I think)
Most likely if you join on widebody/ Boeing you will upgrade on Boeing.
I know many pilots who have qualifications to be 320 capt and would gladly bid that but ere told they must wait and upgrade on Boeing....so many without previous widebody experience will have to wait another year or two to get 2000 on heavy ac
Assuming the new airport opens, Qatar will most likely continue to grow faster than most other airlines
