Is there anyone in Doha that has gotten the medical check by the QA doctor? How closely do they look for tattoos and scars?..
Also do they tend to accept blondes or no? I got the impression at the FI that maybe I am too blonde and too pale!

arabellamiller & tamsat & Francois & coffee or tea
@arabellamiller: yes, you will have an examination after arrival with Qatar Airways Medical Center as well. They'll repeat almost all the medical examinations you have before you come here. If you have any tattoos, or scars, it's not a problem, until it can be covered. Covered means it's on your back for example. You're gonna wear knee lenght skirts and short sleeves blouses, so if they cover it, it's OK, if not obviously not OK.
If you're very blond, not a problem, I just saw 2 very-very-very blond girls a few days ago, they're doing their ab-initio training. So don't worry. QR hires people from all over the world.
@tamsat: no, I dont think that a tattoo on your wrist is OK. But please confirm it with someone, who can give you an official confirmation. Its better ask first, cause if later you'll get sent home, because they cant accept it, it'll be really bad, right? I would advise you to clearify ASAP. Maybe your contact can help you if you send her a photo with yout tattoo covered and uncovered.
@Francois: I did mine in a medical center where they had an aviation doctor as well. But it's not necessary at all. You can simply go to a general hospital and do all your examinations there.
@coffee or tea: GOOD LUCK for tomorrow! Please update us later, OK?

Hypothyroid
I had received my congrats email last monday, sent them my medicals on tuesday, and on thursday i received the regret email saying i did not obtain medical clearance... easy as that! no explanation why...
I have 4.4 degree scoliosis (I know they accept it until 15 degrees)
The only thing which makes me think is the reason why I did not obtain medical clearance is that I have hypothyroid, although it's been completely cured, it just means I need to take a pill everyday in the morning... that's it...
My question is... is there anyone in my situation (with hypothyroid) who did get the medical clearance?
I really need to know why they rejected me so easily, please help!

You will have a new blood test (actually 2 blood tests), X-ray, ECG, general examination, urine test, eye test, psychologist evaluation...etc. I think almost everything again.

Hepatisis Test
Hey guys !
I'm ruminating about something ! =)
About the Hepatisis test , ( there are 3 if I recall well ) , I'm not vaccinated against Hepatisis ( in France it's not mandatory).
Then what will happen with the test's results ?
Is there a minimum level to have ( i won't have it for sure I guess ) ?
Is it disqualifying ??
Thanks .

Hepatitis
Hi Francois, if you are positive to at least one hepatitis it is disqualifying. You will be tested on HepA, HepB and HepC, but do not worry, if you are not vaccinated against it, it does not mean that you have it....and vaccine against HepC still does not exist!

Flying Adobo & rfortupino
@ Flying Adobo: Life in Doha? So far so good. I like it here. I think there're still lots of things to see. I'm still on training, but hopefully not for a very long time any more.
I know exactly what you were talking about with this waiting, and refreshing your mail page every minute. I did the same. I checked my mailbox every day at least 100 times...and I was lucky, I got my congratulatios mail only after 10 days, but it seemed to be forever.
Don't worry, everything is gonna be OK, and you'll find yourself here doing your training very soon.
@rfortupino: I can confirm, they are working a lot and they are very-very busy at the recruitment department.
