Qatar Airways How long after the Interview ?!?!? [Archive]

Thank god you started this thread, as all this "I have not been called" posts in the info thread have really killed it.

Just keep in mind everyone that they are hiring about 60 people a month. So there is HEAPS of backend work to do. I must admit, the process could be streamlined alot but it is what it is.

Expect to wait about 4 - 7 weeks after interview.
Expect to wait about 4 - 7 weeks for the contract/fleet after the good news.
Then your start date could be when ever, most likely about 1.5 - 3 months after your contract is returned.

PLEASE be patient and realise that you are not the oly one that is waiting, and I must add, 7 weeks wait or even 6 months wait is not that long so complaining about it will not help. E.g. People wait 18 months + to get into jets in Oz so take a deep breath and relax.

To call , or not to call!?
I dunno 7 weeks or longer ,just for a result of an interview is actually not the ideal !
Really if someone with influence reads this, change it.

Relax guys. Bad news should arrive within 10 to 20 days after the interview. If you are waiting any longer chances are you made it. If you have a job, continue flying like nothing happened. If you don't - continue looking around.

Oh thank god I've found a thread concerning QA. Can anyone help me out? I applied for the position of cabin crew in November 2011, I passed the first rounds and I even got interviewed by two of them. I received an e-mail not long after that, on December 27th, requesting me to send them 2 pictures of me. I sent the pictures and I haven't heard form them since then. I sent them an e-mail in January asking for an update, they told me they were waiting for my results... 3 months have passed and I still haven't gotten any confirmation e-mail... so should I just give up? or is it normal that it takes this long?

After few dozens of attempts, I managed to have the flight deck team on the phone. Response for me (obviously all NTSOs) : "You're in the background, it might take some time, you just gotta wait and be patient"

I tried to get more infos : 1 month, a year ? They couldn't tell...

23rd Apr 2012, 09:10

I received the interview passed email 20 days after interview.

Could some body please explain why they/Qatar needs to get approval for my appointment? And then 6 weeks after the approval, should get a formal offer of empoyment with fleet allocation. Is that just another hoop to jump through?

Cat3BNoDH

23rd Apr 2012, 15:03

I don't know if you're working or have worked on an airline of QR size. This kind of corporations have several independant departments that work each on their purpose. When you applied and got the interview and later sucess email you've been handled by the recruitment department, then they have to ask permition to the HR dept to hire you ( apointment) and they will send you a formal letter of employment offer. If you acept it, your process will be forwarded to the recruitment dept again to handle all the red tape and logistics of your joinning. You will be in their hand untill the first couple of weeks after joinning, when you'll be "delivered" to your fleet dept for ground course, sim and line trainning. So as you can see, several hoops to jump through but at least for the final ones you'll have some assistance...

Nice landings

Hello chaps!

Is there anybody here who is NOT a gulf citizen and suffering from delays in joining the company due to the so-called "Security Clearance"?

This is on the behalf of one of my friends. He got accepted as normal S/O last October and got the contract on December. He initially received a DOJ with March batch, then he received revised one to be with April batch... & now yet another revised one on May and still waiting for a confirmation!:ugh:

So frustrating! The guy says he has no criminal record or any sort of violations that may cause a problem whatsoever! I was wondering if there are others here who going through the same horrible situation!

Cheers guys.

ITO

24th Apr 2012, 09:45

So, does that means that there are normal SO batchs starting or started for the last couple of months since they are rescheduling aviator 777 friends ? Being left in the dark is not easy as we do not know what to do at all...

-waiting game since then

26th Apr 2012, 17:14

Many chaps have been accepted as NTSO,s since last September and October but they didn't join yet! So relax and be more patient guys! NTSO,s are at the bottom of the bottom of the priority list... You know that already, don't you?:ouch:

Italiancadet

28th Apr 2012, 13:50

Fellow aviators,

I also attended the interview for the NTSO in January.
Everything was perfectly arranged and since that day I am even more eager to join this company.
We were told to receive the results within 4 to 6 weeks, however, I did not hear back from Qatar Airways so far.
It has been almost 4 months now, and the amount of patience that one needs to have is huge.
After having done a bit of research I found out that all communication regarding interview results / contracts towards NTSO’s came to a complete,
sudden stop around half of February (except the communication towards unsuccessful candidates from what I’ve heard)
I realize we are not a priority, and that our training will be more expensive and will also take longer than that of FTSO’s / FO’s.
Clearly, training facilities are running at full capacity and the intake of NTSO’s will therefore be very slow.
Having said this I do understand why NTSO’s don’t get their contract and date of joining, patience is really needed here.
What I really don’t understand is why some of us still didn’t get their interview results after 5 months of waiting (I recall some NTSO’s waiting from December without any news, feedback, not anything!).
If no news in the first 2 weeks is good news, than why not send us a simple email stating that we passed and that now we have to wait for an unspecified amount of time, but that their
intention is to hire us when there will be training slots available.
The fact that this is not happening is nerve-racking and makes me feel left in the dark.

The only logical explanation that still gives me good hope of receiving a positive answer is that they don’t want to give us the yes / no yet because than they will have a sort of obligation
to send us a contract and date of joining within a reasonable time frame (which is simply not possible due to training capacity not being available) .

I really hope everyone will receive their answer soon.
It’s an amazing chance and a very good company, I really think it’s the best available for fresh graduates.

Goodluck to all of you!

P.S.: When I did my interview we were with 12 fresh graduates. NTSO interviews are still taking place, a friend of mine (FTSO) was in a mixed group with FTSO’s, FO’s and also one NTSO very recently.

The feeling beeing selected is awesome and worth all the pain and pints ...cheers

Cat3BNoDH

29th Apr 2012, 18:05

it's interesting how now you passed from we to U when refering about the patience needed during all the recruitment process. I don't want to diminish your hapiness for receiving the "good news" email, of course now its time for celebrate. But believe me, now its when your patience levels have to kick in... Now its time for the big decisions like- when should i give notice to my current job, am I going alone or with the family when joining, how much money do i need to start with, when should I start looking for acommodation, etc... But you still have to wait for the offer of employment letter, which may take a while and when it comes you have about 1 week to give an answer even if you have some doubts to be cleared and you try to call or email them several times a day without sucess. Believe me that's desperate...
So what I mean is that you should celebrate all day long if you think you should but prepare yourself because the waiting can be a long one, and you'll certainly need that extra patience for the next coming months.

Congrats and good luck

upwhereIbelong

29th Apr 2012, 22:15

All discussed and thought over.
The fact is that my good news email never was sent ,so I was told 1-2 weeks for offer.
Not desperate but very eager for another huge step and happy to be considered.
Waiting was tough and doubts were erased by hope,now I'm just very satisfied and hope my expectations will come true.

I'm single so no big decision here,but I really want this job and hope from now on everything just works as smooth as selection day.

I'm happpppppyyyyyyyy,but I don't forget people here so I will try (once I'm in) to be a talk to person for "dreamers" like me

For the record, you applied for FO position, so it may take some time, but I think it will take less than for the rest of us (talking for NTSO in this thread). I'm not saying it will come tomorrow, it's just a guess once again.

UAE FD

3rd May 2012, 07:59

Does anyone know who is the manager for QR NAV and ATM, I applied for this position months ago no good news yet. I heard they are still looking people for that position. I assume manager is the one who decides which one he wants to hire or am i wrong?

UAE FD

Tritzo

3rd May 2012, 08:09

No, your application is being accepted or rejected by the decision of the recruitment department. Most people there have the power to invite you to the interview, based on your qualification.
Within the interview/assessment, which consists of three stages (skill test, interview and sim check) you have to pass every stage to get to the next one. After the Sim check, you will get an email "within 4-6 weeks" where stated wether a pass or fail of the assessment.

As far as I am informed :
Thereafter it is up to the Fleet Department and their ability/availability of training capacities and priorities to train you. NTSO are bottom list priority. So as soon as there will be enough supervision captains and free simulator capacities etc available, they will plan for the next batch of people who have passed the assessment. Unfortunately/Fortunately it is not all about a good handshake and who you know. Of course, things like that will always help you along your way. But if you are no local (in that case qatari), even as UAE citizen, you will undergo the same procedures as any other foreigner.

UAE FD

3rd May 2012, 08:27

I think that is the procedure for Pilots not for Navigation and ATM officer which is a ground based position. But thanks for the insight.

casablanca

4th May 2012, 06:03

Both myself and a friend interviewed after March..(April to be exact) and we just heard positive news. There does seem to be a priority system on what they are doing quickest....his said he should have a contract within 2 weeks for FO position and mine said 6 weeks for a contract as Captain. Im sure depending on aircraft, experience and position there is a huge disparity depending on oerational requirements. If you havent had bad news I would expect the good news to be coming though.....

Hi All,
I talked yesterday to a friend of mine who started 2 months ago in Doha. And this what he said...
QR recently hired about 140 type rated guys/girls from Spanair. They took all the sim slots in Gatwick/Stockholm/Toulouse/Doha/Bahrein.
He just spent the last 2 months doing not much, except studying on his own, sort other stuff out... Apparently there is a lot of administration to be done when arriving. He for instance starts in 2 weeks time his A320 type rating in Bahrein.
Those 140 pilots were put on top of the stack already hired.
So whoever got the good news... As soon as they are finished with the training... we are next. When? I don't know. But we will get there...
As said a lot of times by now... be patience.
Cheers,
cccc

Nearly 3 months ago, I received an email, stating that I passed the assessment as captain on WB, and that I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks to receive my fleet allocation and the job offer, that I had to sign within 2 weeks.....Since then, time passed, no contact with them, still waiting....but not for long, cause something extra came on.....:ok:
I wonder, how they are operating, when they do not respect their fellow pilots..:ugh:

Your situation is very odd, because me and my group interviewed for DEC about 3 months ago and we all already received the email stating that we passed the selection (that took 3 weeks), the job offer and fleet allocation ( took 4 weeks for the last guy who received it ) and one has already is DOJ ( beginning of July on the 777 ).
If I were you I'll give them a call and check the spam box on my email because too much time has passed, my friend!

Good luck

Aviation Refugee....

I am in the same position but I have a contract signed returned and acknowledged but the start date I am starting to believe will never arrive.

It has taken ages this whole process, some people seem to much more fortunate in waiting far less time.

CAT3B

Those timelines are a lot shorter than the ones I know about from colleagues with a couple of exceptions. All the 3 weeks for good news 6 weeks for contract, 2-3 weeks for start date can be multiplied by 2 from my experience so far..

Sorry to hear that!!
Maybe we`ve been lucky, and we're the exception.
Or thats maybe some of us are TR and will have a shorter CCQ, and other were available to start any given day...

Good luck to you all

16th May 2012, 17:12

it is definitely got nothing to do with being available immediately. I and numerous others have been available since November.

Always the case when one is unemployed, easier to get a job when you are in one despite having thousands of hours.

We are all waiting apart from a couple of lucky ones, all interviewed Jan and Feb.

Good job I have a sense of humour because my patience ran out in April!!

Hello guys, is there anybody in here who got the interview the last April 24th?

Since that time I have got no news.

Reading this forum, I've seen few guys (maybe more than a few) have been waiting more than 2 or 3 months for the good news.
For me at the moment it's "only" 1 month and 1 day.

Wish you all the best.

I was just told (by a contact in the HR department) that TRTOs for the training of NTSOs are really overbooked. That they had to slow down the recruitment process (what we can see on their website - delating the FTSO job proposal). Nothing new but I just wanted to share...

3rd Jun 2012, 22:29

They hired already almost enough pilots for this year, and they stopped SO and FTSO for now. I'm guessing those waiting will be waiting even more now. The best is not to focus on QR at the moment, they will start hiring massively again soon, but for now it will only hurt you more to wait everyday for news regarding your application or contract fleet etc... If you received a pass email it means you are in the loop, but it doesn't mean you should quit your job as this process will be long. Some guys once hired waited 8 months to start sims in Doha, 777 guys.

I have friends working at the recruitment office, and I have close friends SO and FTSO on standby now as well. But they will open the valve again for sure. There are thousands of applications. Personally I applied in QR during 5 years before getting an invite for interview. So patience, it will come.

G'day Gents (and Ladies),
I'm looking for some encouragement. I received the "Good News" letter nearly nine weeks ago. Since then, I know that at least one reference check was completed and positive (I assume the other was also) as I received a congratulatory email from the previous boss.

The Good News email indicated that it would take "…no more than 6 weeks…" for fleet allocation, etc. It's been nearly 9 weeks. This was for a DEC Command position. I interviewed in April.

So, are things moving normally, or should I be moving onwards to something else?

I am glad they are still interviewing, but it is a little confusing: they act like they are desperate to hire then put everyone in pool for a very long time!

Hello all!

First of all, congrats to whoever got either positive answer or the job offer!

I did my interview late June for cadet SO (low hours, approx 200) and up until now, haven't heard anything back (hoping for the positive reply though) and it's been almost 6 weeks from the date of interview :)

Just out of curiosity, do we have anyone here, did his interview as a cadet SO after June and also got their answer as well?

a quick post will be appreciated!
cheers

Hello guys,
Despite the problems occured about the 787 and its grounding for few months that for sure will delay all the plans of Qatar Airways, does anybody know anything about the hiring process of First Officer FT and Second Officer FT?
(I mean for all the pilots whom got already the good news and passed already the selection in the past few months).
I personally am receiving every (more or less) 3 months an update by email regarding the situation but honestly is nothing written clearly and it would be nice having further and more accurate info.
Just to make a review and to compare our info I will post my situation:

February2012 ==> got the invitation for the selection for S/O FT in Doha
24April2012==> made the selection in Doha
June2012==> Good news via email about the positive result of selection

Then every 2 or 3 months some updates regarding delays and delays and delays.

Wish you all the best and good luck & hope to hear from some of you soon.

King on a Wing

5th Mar 2013, 06:19

I am copying my post from another forum for some more visibility.

"Hey y'all.
Just a thought here. Any answers would be welcome. Are QR still in the process of recruiting DEC 330/777 skippers.
Wonder if the 787 isues have had any effect on the screening/recruitment drive.
Any thoughts welcome.
Cheers.

Thanks in advance!"

Simba1978

6th Mar 2013, 09:00

Dear King on a wing,
Sure it had a strong impact.
The delay of the 787 influences directly the recruiting process due to the fact many routes QR wanted to start will have a delay , all the pilots that had to transit from Airbus class to the 777 or 787 will remain on the 320 and 321 for the time being.
So, for sure, something will move with the beginning of summer season if (hopefully) Boeing will be sufficently clever to convince NTSB and FAA about the corrective strategy about the well known problem of the lithium battery mounted in the 787.
I'm not the right person to give an estimation when the problem will be solved, but I'm sure, Boeing invested so much money in this project that they will find quickly a solution. I bet, at the beginning a temporary solution and for the future most probably a new design of the Lithium batteries with more ceramic gap among the cells and different containers
By the way, I hope to see u all in Doha one day.

migair54

10th Mar 2013, 18:07

The impact is obvious on the network, some flights downgraded, like LHR, SIN, KUL, HKG, ORD and they can´t start new destinations already announced, Chengdu (CTU), all because the B787 issue, by this they time I think almost 10 should be in the fleet, so that´s a lot of pilots.

And all the schedule flight for the B787 until May are cancelled in almost all the airlines, so the soonest the machine will resume flying will be in May, by then the 5 planes will fly again and i´m not sure but maybe 3 or 4 more will be ready for delivery...
