I tried to attend the open day that Qatar held in IST but i couldnt go,though a close friend of mine working for THY was there. He is heavily experienced on the 738 and TRE/TRI .They told him that they have enough applications from type rated captains on the Boeing fleet and the chances for 737 guys to be hired within the next year are slim .
On the other hand a couple of expats FO type rated on the 777 and flying for THY were told that the selection process for them will be fast .
its a fact that Qatar is looking for 600 pilots within the next 12 months .
