What's the point?
As far as I know, QR is mainly recruiting type rated pilots at the moment.
A friend of mine recently went to Doha for the PAT test, he is type rated on the A320 as a FO.
He received the pass mail 2 weeks later, and another 2 weeks later he received an offer of emplyment on the B787!
What's the point of being type rated on one of their aircrafts, being able to go pretty quick through their training, if QR is gonna put you on another type? Is it because they want you to pay for the type rating, spending more time training you?
Why would they do that? What's the difference in recruiting FTSO, SO. They also have to pay for the rating, and the salary is less.
But then again, it's QR we are talking about right? No logic here.
Merry Christmas to all of you!
