For those of you interested in Private Flying, Qatar Airways have their own version called Executive Crew which you can apply for on their website if they have a job advertised. You do need 5 years experience though.
Qatar forum threads (bear in mind some information here might be outdated):
Some Qatar Cabin Crew Blogs:
http://cabincrewwall.com/qatar/doha/ (only 4 posts about the open days intervies and first impressions of Qatar)
http://devilboy69.multiply.com/journal (last post was October 2009)
Unfortunately those are the only blogs from Qatar crew i could find. I did hear from a friend that they are very strict with people who blog about their airline so its highly possible there are more out there they are just not saying who they work for. If you do come across any please let me know! Better yet, if your a Qatar Airways FA and wish to help others achieve their dream to fly but want to stay anonymous flick me an email!
