@B737NG. Giving up 737 command at this point is bad for your career. But, it also depends on where you will get command, what you want out of your life and how old you are. 777/787 offers you better lifestyle and better layovers. It's a personal decision I would say.
I gave up 737 command after training for 777 right seat and I don't regret.

I don't mean to be negative but what I gather from this threat it shows me you have a horrible attitude Soaking Pilot.
I would make sure that going over there really is what you want and that you aren't going there just to chase metal and money because you seem like the kind of person who would get pissed off and be negative as soon as something negative happens.
Learn from your current position as much as possible and don't take it for granted. Lots of people out there would love the seat you're in.
Just my 2 cents.

Whatever seems like its out of reach anyways because of this record so whats the point except to just slog on and annoyingly waking up the next day

on mine... 2 A320 DECs, one with 30 years commercial experience, another with 11k (no idea on PIC totals). Know someone starting soon on minimum hours, 6k Jet (PIC 2-3k or whatever it is).

Surely your options would be to:
a) hire an examiner and privately renew your IR at your own cost (if your aviation authority allowed you to do so - I know of a lot of aviation authorities who do).
b) ask QR to postpone your start date until after Feb 2017.
It's a conversation you need to have with Qatar I think... I know of a couple of people who were in similar positions and either asked or were told to start at a later time.

Got the positive email 3 days ago. At the moment I'm in the holding pool. Applied for the Boeing fleet but I understood that QR could send you to any fleet (bar 380 and 350) depending on their requirements...

I've been to the assessment on late september. Got the approval e-mail one week later and went to the talent pool.
Any clue about how long people are waiting to get a DOJ?
I'm 737 FO, 1.500 TT, 1.200 on type.
