Yes, they told me that training is quite good in qr.
In any case, he called them to have a feedback and actually he did not fail (as he said the sim was very very good) but he could not join because of a "no poaching agreement" active between the gulf companies and some african companies and he is not the only one.....
Too bad that someone who has plans to change his life for any personal reason is restricted to do so.....
Also, it would be a better option for Qatar NOT to accept application from pilots coming from those "restricted"companies instead of doing so wasting everybody's time and maybe replying with a nice mail explaining this.
For a moment he suspected that the retired captain running the sim was in fact ready for a complete and serious retirement since he might very fine to see if someone is a good pilot/captain but he has that old philosophy concerning CRM. Sometimes is better to have a line captain,still flying in that airline, current on the same airplane with a clear idea of the actual way of managing a flight ( with the proper skills of course).
