in my opinion, just because someone has a friend working in the airline doesn't mean that the information which they pass on is the correct one. heard of chinese whispers?
the recruiting of pilots is no joke, it is a task which HR mangagement and pilots deal with. Unless someone has PROPER inside information that second officer recruitment is complete, then they should not say it. If i know someone in the Qatar airways' despatch department or IT depratment, how the hell would they be a reliable source of info as to when a second officer recruitment is complete??
Those who have not heard from qatar airways should not be disappointed yet, i called up the airline and spoke to the HR secretary who checked my name on their remaining list of possible S/O employees today, and was told that i will hear from them very soon......thus, they have not forgotten me, and neither accepted nor rejected me yet, and the same goes for all those who have not heard yet from Qatar.
reliable sources of information are worth posting on here, not amateur unreliable posts!!
