Qatari515,
I am pretty sure that they will never have 40 graduates a year unless they want to sign for accidents to happen.
I said 40 crew and
engineers and the ratio is about 5 engineers to 3 pilots so that makes it 15 pilots a year and 25 engineers.
About the 5000 to 1 figure was there actual research done for this? All candidates undergo evaluations to see that they are capable of the job. As I said before there will never be a point where QR will be Qatari only it's impossible.
Recently they hired forreign ab initio pilots and that was my point...
Thanks for making that clear.
