the thing is, qatar is cofunded by the government. basically, they can afford it to invite people for assessments and not hiring them although they passed.
youre right, it doesnt make sense sometimes, but thats how it goes. i think the better argument over money would rather be the assessment induced blocked training capacities.
blocked sim slots for all the screenings and binding of manpower (selection captains), who could also be used as type rating instructor or supervision pilot instead. (to clear the backlog)
despise of all that, qatar still interviewed a lot of people this year. and still is.
why? i dont know. not all the things have to be logical (for our sense) in the middle east.
if they want to do something - they will do it.
@RK303
you understand me wrong maybe. i will not pay to fly. i will not sell my soul.
still, as soon as i get paid for what i like doing the most - flying - for me, any flying job is a win win situation.
and definitely better than working nothing at all.
