Qatar airways cadet pilot selection

[AirNout]

Just give them a phone call and they will tell you if they have forgotten you or not ;)

[speedsalive]

The lady makes sure that we forget them by delaying the deadline:ugh:


but i m sure its not up to them to decide when to give us the answer.

cheers

[speedsalive]

anyidea y still some havn't got som rreplies yet?

[TZZ]

speedslive dont rely on them. Just focus on what you are doing and goodluck maybe you get golden call from them.

[zonnair]

Indeed.
Don't just focus on Qatar. Of course it would be nice, but this way you'll never get a job.

Never bet on one horse. (Not sure if it is an english phrase too.)

[AirNout]

@ Hikmah; I did the assesment the 8th of March in London and after the interview we talked with one of the captains downstairs while waiting for a taxi, he confirmed that they were also looking for some people for the A300 fleet and I think he was flying the A300 as well.

[captnatasha]

how can i apply in qatar airways for cadet pilot program?

[msian1147]

sorry 4 da l8 reply...i've been a little bit busy...well it is true that they still have 1 more A300 but u guys r more likely to go 4 the A330 or the A320...heard that some pilots r leaving...dont know what their reasons are...maybe due to the soaring cost of living in Doha...im starting to feel the pain in the butt regarding the cost of living...going out with friends to watch movies n hang out at malls would cost me more than 100 riyals...in one night....SICK!even Riyadh n Abu Dhabi r wayy cheaper...

[MMS]

msian1147,

Thanks for the info, can i ask you about rent rates in doha, like how much a studio or one bedroom apartment would cost in doha in a decent area? im not looking at a very posh area......
i am asking because i know that rentals have gone sky high... any info would be great.

thanks

:ok:

[msian1147]

a small apartment could minimally cost u about QR 10,000. if ure comparing to kuwait n bahrain, doha is an expensive city....but the good news is, employees will be provided with Company housing on a shared basis...or maybe an allowance of QAR 12K or more per month in lieu of housing..based on my findings, most pilots would opt for the latter...

ohh another thing, the rent rates keep on rising from time 2 time...it's ridiculous....

[MMS]

msian1147,

your right, the prices are ridiculous, i mean, i thought london was bad!
but thanks for the info.....:ok:

[msian1147]

haha seriously London is wayy better than Doha....no wonder the rate of attrition among pilots in QR is higher than EK n EY...

[MMS]

london has its ups and downs, and so does doha, i have been to doha twice and its a small (very small) place, all the nightlife is underground and hidden (whatever nightlife there is) and it can get a bit mundane, but on the other side, i guess you could describe it as a small and serene city...and its got some nice countries to visit within 2 hours flight time...

[speedsalive]

lets hope we hear somthing by this week guys!!!!

[msian1147]

well i would agree on that MMS...doha is a nice n small city...gud place to raise families...u cn always go to Dubai n Iran...

[MMS]

first day of the week in Doha.....i hope our waiting is up, please PM if anyone gets any news.

[speedsalive]

no news yet man... anybody called them?

[MMS]

we seem like the eager ones....:)

[TZZ]

guys they have already hired second officers.

[speedsalive]

TZZ.. how can you confirm this?? and how come they havnt still sent us the rejection letter?

[TZZ]

a friend who works there told me.

[speedsalive]

can anyone else confirm this??

[MMS]

in my opinion, just because someone has a friend working in the airline doesn't mean that the information which they pass on is the correct one. heard of chinese whispers?

the recruiting of pilots is no joke, it is a task which HR mangagement and pilots deal with. Unless someone has PROPER inside information that second officer recruitment is complete, then they should not say it. If i know someone in the Qatar airways' despatch department or IT depratment, how the hell would they be a reliable source of info as to when a second officer recruitment is complete??

Those who have not heard from qatar airways should not be disappointed yet, i called up the airline and spoke to the HR secretary who checked my name on their remaining list of possible S/O employees today, and was told that i will hear from them very soon......thus, they have not forgotten me, and neither accepted nor rejected me yet, and the same goes for all those who have not heard yet from Qatar.

reliable sources of information are worth posting on here, not amateur unreliable posts!!

[msian1147]

trust me...they're gonna reply...it's mideast...everything's slow...

[speedsalive]

will hear from them very soon mean i guess it may not be today..but definitly within this week i suppose....thats very encouraging news mms.

Keep us all posted

[speedsalive]

anything so far??

[jalways]

No news from them...

I have a question, for how long the cadets of Qatar stays as second officers? Someone told me that the s/o only do communications in cruise...!
Maybe I have a wrong idea of the second officer work.
What's the real difference between be a f/o or a s/o in Qatar?

Thank you for the replies.

DN

[VHHH Closed]

There is not much diffrence between f/o and s/o except salary and an amazing syllabus to be a good f/o.

you all know that you have to fly 124 sectors incl check ride as s/o, a sector is for ex : DOH - AUH or DOH - JFK.

1st fife sectors for exemple you help with the radio in the third seat.then ten other sectors you take controls as f/o right seat at 10000ft in climb and give back controls to f/o at 10000ft in descent. ten other sectors , take controls at 10000ft down to DH, the captain will land with f/o in third seat. then for exepl sim check for currency. back to the a/c, take control in climb and the captain may let you land depending on reports for exemple .

ten other sectors, you take off.

ten other sectors, you taxi and take off , might land??????. depending ???.

ten others , you start the engines , taxi.................. and so on.

Amazing ?!?!?!? isn't it??

4 last sectors , check rides.

figures are ruffly ten ,sometimes 8 , 12 ,16??????

[VHHH Closed]

I havn't been through it but i know it, what do you mean by base training after type rating?

[speedsalive]

if anyones gona call em today, do let us know plzz

cheers

[speedbird310]

hello every one any one been selected?:rolleyes:
plz let me know........:ugh:

[VHHH Closed]

You go to the type rating after an air law and a human perf exam then you come back to Doha, I know that QR has got a Cat D Sim which is approved by QCAA for 7 take offs and landings including engine failure, snow and slush and low visibility approaches and landings........... it s called ZFT i think .!.!.!

So the hardest part is when you come back from type rating, you spend appro a month on ground before going onto line, A/C walk around, Fire and Security , Ditching and ETOPS . . . . . and a lot more

when the 124 sectors are achieved, the flying will then be as F/O on line training for about 60 hrs, means flying will be with a type rating instructor and someone qualified in case of an incapacitation, cause the F/O won't be rated yet at that time, unless QR juges that she can remove the releife pilot at some point in the line training, then you might fly with a TRI only.

when released by a TRE, the hardest part comes, you do your job, follow the rules, nothing more and nothing less. Anybody can be replaced just like that in QR.

I am really sorry for the pilots whom got the rejection letter, wish you all best luck.

[jalways]

still nothing...

[msian1147]

MMS, did u pass?

[roshan]

Not gonna say anything more about it at this moment maybe later... :ok:

[cochise]

[flightperson]

Congratulations for those being selected..welcome to the mess..c you all around the technical building & hope to fly some day together.

[speedsalive]

Hang in ther Macaw, Hikmah might b very true

[zonnair]

Don't worry macaw,

As long you haven't received a rejection yet, there is still a chance. If you are on standby they will let you know.

Hang on tight.

[VHHH Closed]

Anybody got any news from QR?

[LOC_STAR]

Hey guys

i too got accepted by Qatar Airways on the A330, anyone have any idea when they'll tell us when the DOJ is?

cheers

Loc*

[flightperson]

Hi! Guys ,I got in on the A300
I thought they gonna phase-out the A300? why cadet pilots on a300? r we gonna fly cargo?

[speedsalive]

yeappp !!!!!!!!

[jalways]

Got on 320

[flightperson]

Rude shock or a pleasent surprise, i don't know what to call it! Are they not supposed to tell us during the interview that we could be flying Cargo as well?

Also for salary 9900USD - 500 USD = 9400USD. how much more could we get adding up meal allowances? i mean will it ever touch 12k or more?

You guys think I could request for a change of aircraft from A300 to 330 or 320?

I heard they training guys on A300 to later fly boeing 777 ( yoke similarity!)

[MMS]

flightperson:

im in exactly the same position as you, not only that, but im currently flying a boeing heavy a/c as an f/o.........they could have utilised me much better i think.

[flightperson]

MMS,

i think i was expecting too much, you are type rating & already flyin, I am simply a cadet pilot! any ariplane on earth will do for me as long as it flies & I get paid to fly one!:O

[BUSTRASH]

I got a f/o position on the A320 but im currentley on the A320. I was hoping for the A330 but the A320 is cool.
Regards

[jalways]

I personally think that the 320 is best because we'll be able to complete the 120 sectors faster than the cadets of the 330.
If I'm wrong please reply.

DN

[cochise]

You are right! The 320 is the work horse fleet. Lots of sectors in a shorter amount of time. This means that you will complete your 120, move on to an FO position and start working off your bond and 5 years before the other fleets.

[LOC_STAR]

Any idea when the date of joining will be? any guys with any info kindly appreciated
Loci

[BizPilotBrazil]

I send the my resume to Mr. Arthur, he is the QR HR manager i think.
I have about 2000 total flight hours with 600 jet time as a Cessna Citation Bravo (EFIS/FMS) as F/O, ATPL Frozen and ICAO english level 4 (four)
Does anyone could say to me what is the my real chance to join at Qatar?
I realy realy want to join at Qatar Airways.
Because i know that in the company have so many pilots from Brazil and on QR i can to improve the my carear.
Thaks for all!!

[msian1147]

u chaps r getting 9900USD as an SO?wow u gotta b kidding me!!:D

[cochise]

That's the FO salary once online. :ugh:

[hjmemon]

hi guys,
Well I applied for this programme while I was in process of getting my fATPL. I got a response in early Jan that I should get back to them once I have my fATPL in my hand. Thanks to our so call CAA (Pakistan) I just got my fATPL. I know its little (rather quite) late, but do I have any chance of getting in?
Is QR expecting another batch of S/Os soon?

Thanks

[msian1147]

r u guys supposed to complete the 120 sectors, in order to b an FO?

[john321]

I dont know who came up with the requirement for second officer for Qatar Airways.

They ask for ICAO licesne and then they ask for written ATP to be done. This is only Jaa system. In Canada , there is no such thing as Frozen ATP. we work based on CPL. ATP is only for people who are going to become commanders...............

[LOC_STAR]

Just wondering... is anyone in the least interested as to when we start the course?

[msian1147]

course?what course?

no worries mate, they'll always have SO intake...patience is the ingredient..

[speedsalive]

anyone starting on Dec 1st?

[LOC_STAR]

Hey Speed
sent you a message privately then i thought maybe you wouldnt notice it... hows it goin? what aircraft did qatar assign you? and what position f/o or s/o? do you have any new information regarding qr id appreciate anything you could tell me
best regards
Loci

[LOC_STAR]

Thank you speed.. i really appreciated the reply =0) i forgot to ask, when did they send you the start date info? i've been waiting ever since they sent me the acceptance letter and since then nothing..
best regards

[msian1147]

so guys how r u SOs doing?

[nibraska]

People please do not forget that there is an age limit.
I myself called and spoke I think tone of the training captans, and told me that at the date of joining you should be less that 28 years old.
I really do not know how far is that true?!@!!!!

Best of luck

[LOC_STAR]
