A330 or B777 Qatar

[MD83FO]

I finished 3 years P2 on A320.

which would you rather fly?

[Fubaliera]

Easier Training, 330 plus possible ccq to 350/280 in future.
Harder Training 777 , but better destinations and possible more money.
Is the A340 an option or only for locals

[Homo Ludens]

How about staying on the 320 for another year ang get your command? Go anywhere else, and this gets further away from you. Just a thought...
Cheers!

6 months ago i would have said yes to that as well but now its a right to left seat upgrade on 330/777 so wahtas the point in staying on the 320.

Nobody can decide for you...!
-It all depends what you like...sitting in a tube for 15 hours: go for 777..or keep flying go for the 320...in between you have the 330.
-Now IF you need money:it´s not a secret: 320 has probably the WORSE salary/duty perfomed ratio!

When the time comes, do we get an option, or is it luck of the draw

A330 is a better machine from a technical stand point and also more choices for future endeavors, unless you plan to stay in Qatar forever.
the B777 maybe enjoyable to fly, but the fact remains it's a antiquated machine with very limited level of technology in comparison to the enhanced A330's that QA operates.

They both have benefits and draw backs. in the end it's just a pay check no matter what you operate.
The B777 has a light schedule compared to the rest of the fleets, but it's still a new addition. It will NOT stay that way. Unless you have your life and family in Doha, what is the use of only working 4 to 5 flights per month if you only have a maximum of 3 days OFF in a row and can't really leave.

If your life is established in Doha, then it's not so bad really.
easy work for the money:E

Without any intent for polemique or anything like that
but could you please elaborate on the above quote

many thanks

[Iver]

I'd take the 777 over the A330 ANY DAY... Now, when the A350s arrive I might have to reconsider...

[Captain Ned Kelly]

Without any intent for polemique or anything like that. It’s very easy to explain. It’s a different technology. Unlike Airbus, Boeing lets the pilot be a pilot. :E


Go in peace! :ok:

[loc22550]

Whats the point if Boeing lets the pilot be a pilot when you only do 3...4.. take off and landing/month...:E

[Captain Ned Kelly]

I guess you didn’t understand me. I said a pilot not a slave. :E



Go in peace! :ok:

[AVIATOR757]

Would you make like to make love to someone with long legs, big jugs and a slim body, then go for B777. Or if you prefer not having anything between the legs then Airbus operation/procedure is an option. In the old days we used to call them the Laura Ashley fleet.I hear Airbus guys wear white gloves and ling@rie underneath the uniform and have feminine last names like kelly or silly.
Just havin fun guys.:E
If it a'int boeing i'm not going.

[menikos]

Hi guys,

well it's absolutely no worth to compare boeing vs airbus but to resume like told me an examiner qualified on both :

"Airbus you operate"

"Boeing you fly"

Both are very nice airplanes after saying that on each his own.

Bye :ok:

[Captain Ned Kelly]

AVIATOR, your problem is to be destitute of knowledge or education. I could say with a lack of schooling and intelligence. “AVIATOR MEN” or "BUTCH AVIATOR" do you know who was NED KELLY? I guess you don’t. Have fun at school! :E


Go in peace!:ok:

[AVIATOR757]

I have more years of formal schooling than you can ever wish for.Of course everyone knows Ned Kelly, and I know that is your girlie dream. Your are not Ned Kelly.:cool:

[Fubaliera]

This Ned Kelly Is A Basket Case
