Qatar Interviews
 
Anyone out there do the LAE interview for QR?
I did mine over the phone from paradise and would like to compare notes.
Unfortunately didn't get the presentation or see the package in writing, so am somewhat skeptical of what I heard.
If you could reply or PM me that would be great.:hmm:

Hi itwilldoatrip

Slavery is a better word over there. Even you can’t get out of the country even you have 4 off days, if you want to work professionally just forget Qatar. Good luck

Bolty McBolt 20th Jul 2006 06:44

Is it true you hand your passport over if you work for QATAR?
This has alot to do with not being able to get out of the place on a 4 day break.
I also hear some phsyco whom never sleeps runs the place/airline and if you get on the wrong side of him your are in a world of **** with no recourse.

I beleive working for the QATAR royal flight is the pic of the jobs there and that sux too.

Good Luck

They're offering up to $35000 AUD a month + accomodation + schooling etc to the right people.

qatar
 
$35000 aud a month thats 13000 pounds a month I will go anywhere for that money!!is that contract or permie?:ok:

Turbo 5B 21st Jul 2006 01:48

Not 100% sure , but there is a minimum time after training I believe.
When the offers start coming through we'll have a better idea.

Bolty McBolt 21st Jul 2006 02:57

Turbo

If they are offering that sort of cash count me in?

How did you find out about said deal? Web site , a mate in the know?

Are you sure the money is 35k AUD not 35k in Rials which is closer to 12,800 AUD per month

Give us the goss ??

Turbo 5B 21st Jul 2006 03:32

They had walk in interviews at the carreer transition centre in Botany Sydney on wednesday.
Whe asked how much they were offering they said a "very attractive package".
They mentioned one of the other airlines of the region, and said what they are offering we are offering double.
Refer attached flyer.

No way. That must be a typo. That works out at £168,000 per annum with the accomodation and school for the kids in addition to that!!??

For that money most people would put up with anything. But I just don't believe it!

Turbo 5B 22nd Jul 2006 11:51

wasn't in print... it was a verbal from the reps doing the interviews.

chucky the engineer 22nd Jul 2006 12:44

Although I haven't seen it in writing I am led to believe that it is 35000 riyals per mth not 35000 AUD a mth. I do have in writing what another airline in the gulf is offering and 35000 riyals is double this!

U r very correct,slavery plus unproffesstional management at its peak,violation of basic human rights,pls note I dont know who gave them a easa 145 approval At 45 degree s celcius no vehicles for engineers and techs,arodrome deceplene nothin like that,human factors not heard of since the management is not human and no capacity to think more then the ceo,s Ideaosycrosys,every wrong thing is known as a policy.so u r made to go wrong if u r not strong do not ever sign a bond they give u any training without bonds yes go for it since the training is trying to be on the opposite but finds it difficult mach the normal training standards in any other organistion
housing in qatar is exuberant u r allowance is enough for u to find a small room with a closet
policy is every body no nothing beyond his day to day dutys Example GMT wouldnt be able to tell u about u r apporval payments He,s only good at talking to u softly as u come with little bit of manners soon it will be gone when u stick to normal practice of engineering .pls note the TPM is a doc which forms part of obtaining u r easa 145 which is not in compliance with safety standard of equipment and human factors.what u c in the book is totally violated once u walk to the ramp
salary is just over 5000 dollars with housing which is not enough u to meet the rising cost of living
Politics of all factions at its best c to beleive all in all not the best place to work even if u dont have job bye pls mail me if u need more info

Thanks Guys
 
Good info guys - thanks.
Chula - are you with QR? they tried to get me to Syd for interview, but I was working, so they organised a phone int.
Deal I heard was 11K US + accom & schooling allow + 3 wks to super.
Still waiting to see in writing as apparently a couple of years back they renegged on deal offer.
I heard about the passport thing -not to comfortable with that.
As for Human factors/Health & Safety and working environment, sounds the same as in the Pacific - you do what you have to with the resourses available in 95% humidity.
Training is offered on commencement and the idea of gaining an EASA Lic can only be a bonus for future employment.
Lack of communication and recognition is not something which is isolated to QR - be honest.
If the package is dinkum, it would be hard to refuse.

Bolty McBolt 23rd Jul 2006 06:03

I checked my conversion rates
QATAR use "rials" for currency.
Saudi uses "Riyals"



Sunday, July 23, 2006

35,000 Qatari Rial = 12,885.6 Australian Dollar

12,885.6 AUD = 9664.20 US Dollars

Median price = 0.36240 / 0.36816 (bid/ask)
Estimated price based on daily US dollar rates.

Chula. Thanks for the info. I have heard your story repeated by other engineers whom have ended up in Qatar.The worst part of the deal was, as you approach the end of your contract and you have amassed some sort of bonus payment that is in your contract, the management do their level best to upset you enough to get you to quit thus vioding the payment of your bonus etc etc
The Amiry royal flight looks the pick of the jobs if you can land a travelling spanner. At least you get off the island regularly.

Pacific Marlin. Qatar's job web site only requies ICAO type 2 licence with no mention of EASA. Can you tell us more?

QATAR want over 100 odd LAEs, they will have to offer good coin to get them :ok:

MAS have a huge add in Friday's "Australian" newspaper looking for lots of LAE/LAMEs
Does anybody have details on what they are offering.

numbskull 23rd Jul 2006 08:57

MAS are offering $37 $US per hour.Minimum 162 hrs p/month. No other allowances added on top of this rate.

That was what I was offered. I couldn't be bothered uprooting family etc for this amount so I knocked it back.

SeldomFixit 23rd Jul 2006 11:12

This lot have unlilaterally turned complete workforces over several times and the most attractive offer I can imagine is one that doesn't even vaguely mention Qatar :eek:

sonhouse 23rd Jul 2006 12:37

Tubo are you suggesting a false premise of 35k Aus a month.
It appears you are faltering on the value, there is no better way of disenfranchising people than to offer them false hope.
Are you Tubo full of manure or on a true thread?
Imagine if they find out you are full of ****e will that ruin your credibility?

Turbo 5B 23rd Jul 2006 12:45

Sonhouse you poor sour f@ck wit. As I have said the amount was mentioned by the representatives doing the walkin interviews at Botany last week.
I have nothing to gain by upping the figures.
Quite frankly, couldn't give a flying f@ck what you think anyway.
And my credibility will remain intact for a lot longer than yours I'd imagine.
I think it's high time you slink back into the backwaters and retire from public life.
ps Are you accusing me of lying?

sonhouse 23rd Jul 2006 12:59

Ps Am I accusing you of lying?
No but I am suggesting you are embelishing the truth.
It appears to me that you Tubo can only find a way to make an impression by short and terse sensational diatribe and that is what I am addressing.
Big ticket pay packages that will not transpire for applicants but you suggest people will enjoy.
If all these big packet salaries are for the offering how come you are still working in low paid OZ?
