***Two Good Websites with Qatar Information

First, good job Victor 75! Nice to hear there is some movement - and a good international fleet position on the A330.

Victor 75, if you are interested in A330-specific routes at Qatar, you can look at the following website link (click on Jettracker and select aircraft type of interest):

The Qatar Source - Qatar Airways Jet Tracker.

Click on the specific aircraft type and it will give the routes flown for that specific type (again, not sure how accurate or up-to-date). For A330, look at both the A330-200 and the A330-300. Same is true for other types including 777-200LR, 777-300, A320, A321, A319LR, A340-600, etc. This information (if accurate), should give you a good sense of potential layovers for your aircraft type.

The general website is called "The Qatar Source" and you can find similar websites for Emirates, the other large, growing UAE airline and others as well. These websites claim to be independent and impartial - not sure about how accurate they are but they do provide news/PR.

Another good website for salary and hiring information at Qatar and other airlines is the following:

Qatar Airways pilot jobs, payscales and entry requirements.

Looks like it was updated recently - again, not sure about accuracy. You can find other Middle East, European and Asian airlines listed with similar information on that website as well: www.ppjn.com

An interesting tidbit found on ppjn related to Qatar is a bit about rosters (sounds like someone's opinion):

A330: 6-8 Overnights a mth, 2-4 days off between flights. Good overnight pay. A320: You never see more than 2-3 days in a row. A300: Expect 4-8 flights max per month. A330 Roster has the best roster followed closely by B777.
