Qatar

Hi guys

I am applying for Qatar: I flew the b737, a320/1 and a310 as a f/0. Last 12 years I've been flying as PIC in aircrafts mtow 48 ton (g550 and Global).
Am I going to expect an f/0 position, or A320 pic?

Can anyone who is working there tell me what to expect if joining the company?


Thanks guys!

you will get the answer in Middle East forums.

You need 5000 hours total and have to be a Captain at the time of your application I guess

I've heard from a few fast jet jockeys, who are putting applications in, that the time to captaincy is swift... Obviously a different situation to yours, but I guess their expansion plans would leave them screaming for captains? (and I'm guessing you'd be in a comparatively better situation at the application stage)

With that experience, are you sure either would be a wise decision?

G550 Captains are a sought-after commodity, and will continue to be so. Contract positions are very lucrative. I'm sure you know all this, but it is an interesting consideration.

Ps, I think you will be in the running for th PIC position, from the tales of others.
