Word on the street is that QR have the 700 they need for this year so i'd expect recruitment to slow.
Lets do the maths.
Let say Qatar Airways have interviewed every week for the first 6 months this year. ( I know its not the end of June yet, but might have been invited pilots until then.) That's 26 weeks times 5 days of interviews. It give a total of 130 assesment days. Lets use an average of 8 candidates per day. Thats a total of 1040 pilots been interviewed. If 75% of them where sucessful, all 8 of us passed on my interview day, then we get 780 plus the 18 CTC cadets and plus 150 Spanair pilots to a grand total of 948. This figure does not include last years candidates.
I would be surprised if any body gets called for a interview in the 2nd half of this year. Unless you are type rated or a Qatari or a CTC tw@t you will be very very lucky to get a invite to Doha this year. Over.
Disclaimer: I have known to be wrong in the past.
