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.

I have a slight suspicion that, if you update your application, unless asked by QR to do so, you might go back in line. Can anyone dismiss this?

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

Hi.
Could someone give me a bit of help with the forms that need to be completed to QR Interview ?

Need A Shot Or Patience
 

Just wondering if anybody else is feeling like I am. I applied Nov 17 and have not heard anything. I assume it's becoz of the large amounts of applications. How overworked they are in recruiting,but I must ask if you have quality time isn't there a level of priority that comes into play?? I am honored to have 11,240 hours with types on the B757/767,MD11/DC10 and was a Capt on the B757 with 2000 hours,and over 3000 widebody time,yet I have not heard a response at all. I'm sure I am not the only one here that feels the same.No disrespect to my other fellow bretheren that are trying also yet I just wanna know what is the correct approach to handle getting an interview without beiing a pain..Your comments please...Safe flying to all...

Do you know if your application is still in the system ?

Did you upload a passport photo with your application ?

You should re apply and make sure you upload ALL the docs it asks for including passprt photo

Yes I Sure Did
 

Thanx for asking I uploaded my passport medical license and last 3 pages of my logbook.

Black Pudding: Where do you see that you will have to upload a passport photo?

I went to check my application and when I accessed it, a message said that there was an unanswered question. "Have you ever been employed by QR before".
I am 110% sure that I answered this question, when I first applied and I have checked my application after that, where it did not show up as unanswered.
Have anyone experienced something similar? Maybe that is why I have not heard from them. :rolleyes:

I thought it asked for you to upload docs and one being passport photo, unless it does not now ask for that. Anyone know the answer to this query

Does anyone use Paramount for contracting with Qatar? Are they necessary or even provide any "priority" to their applicants?

SAS-A321,

A friend had a similar problem - apparently he left a tick box unchecked (not sure which one but I can find out) and heard nothing back from QR for months (not even the automated reply that the application was in the system).
A few days ago he went through the application again, paying extra attention to every little detail, and got an immediate reply.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Spiros

@spiros

Are you really sure about this? I also applied before the 5th of february and i often signed in, not saying anything. This week i signed in and all of a sudden i get the remark that i forgot something. To be honest i think everytime they post the job at the website they add a new question.
I had this a few months ago even if i got a confirmation letter.

inner,

You may be right - I didn't face this issue myself (the whole process went very smoothly in my case) but a friend.

He did tell me about the missing tick box a few days ago (I am sure it was after the 5th of Feb).

It is entirely possible that they've made some changes to their system, as you are suggesting...

Regards,

Spiros

just got an email today in which QR says they need my original birth certificate. i only have a copy and a replacement may not arrive before i leave for doha.. i am leaving in 5 days!!

Birth certificate? I am already in the joining process but they didn't ask me!

Congrats on getting the assessment.


Glad you had a good day


I think its really funny you did your sim assessment in the 787 LOL. I can just imagining everyone panicking now thinking "787 oh ****, where am I going to get practice on that"


All you have to do is your best and aviate, navigate and communicate and most important of all, manage.


Just goes to show you never know what to expect proves they are looking for the person firstly and not the pilot.


Best wishes and hope you hear good news.

Hi everyone,
It´s been 6 weeks since the good news and haven´t received anything.
Does anyone know their phone number?
Regards

HI gjln.. you may phone them on +974444-96749 and ask for the flight Deck recruiting section.. Don't lose your patience.. 6 weeks is still reasonable at least you've got the good news :) good luck

Cheers

I put my docs on the floor in a brightly lit room, stood over them with my digital camera, zoomed in and photographed them. I then uploaded the photo's making sure the were in focus. May be better with the flash switched off.

Hi, i still waiting the contract after 10 weeks from the good news. I sent an e-mail 2 weeks ago and they told me that is under process. Do you think that it is better call them or still waiting?
Thanks

@changingbases,, why did you deleted your assessment summary!!? I just wanted to save it... damn
