Hi guys!! first post, i fly as cap the ERJ 145 with 8500 hrs on different planes 4000 jet and 4500 turboprop only 1500 pic and have recently been invited to go for the QR interview, and the sim assessment (at Doha) in April. What can i expect from the interview and sim ride?, any info would be appreciated.
Something else..... I read here QR is pretty strict on crew politics, but do you get to enjoy the job, how is the general atmosphere with the fligth decks and cabin crew how are the pay and benefits. Do you get tickets, jump seat, Zed, insurance can you make a living and still save some money (married no kids). The truth is that i want to move to the middle east so i can save some money and retire after let's say 10, 15 years.
In witch plane in case i pass would i be put on?
Is it true that you can't date cabin crew? and if you do you get fired?.
I went to Dubai for the EK interview last month and did ok, is very nice too, but since i don't really know if i would be successful until 6 more weeks i might give a try at QR.
I read in
www.pilot career center.com that QR is receiving as many as 140 planes plus interesting options in not so long term , so maybe it may be worth a wile to make a career move in QR get a rapid up grade and fly a nice airplane to nice places, or maybe not..........
