These was a rumour that Qatar Airways (QR) had taken a handful of non Airbus type rated guys and they are/were in France doing the A320 course. There is no mention of this on the QR website and maybe they do not want to advertise the fact since it is still far easier for them to employ someone who is rated! If you look on the Middle East forum here on PPRuNe you will see that staff turnover can be quite high in some cases within QR and the idea of bonding pilots seems a wise move hence offering a type rating course to non rated guys. Give them a ring and find out!

Have you thught of Emarat Air Link. If you have a lot of PC-9 time then that might cut some ice with them. Just a thought?

Feel free to drop us an e-mail and tell us how you get on with the Middle East job hunting!

All the best!
