Risk!!
Hey guys,
I recently email CTC, asking them about the exam/test that student needs to do after completion of their training in order to gain employment with Qatar.This is what they replied:
To be offered a position on the Qatar Wings program, you will be required to pass our selection process. Once you have completed your training with us at CTC, you will start your type rating with Qatar. Part of the type rating will require in house exams that are set by Qatar and not by us.
If there is anything else I can help you with, please don’t hesitate to get in contact.
After that if asked them what will happen to the student if they don't pass that test and how it is justified for them to ask a student to spend 105k pound on training keep everything hanging on that test?
It's been three weeks already and no reply at all!!!.
That really got me thinking whether is the best course to do or not.
Also, with AAB's dictatorship, nothing is guaranteed. If he wakes up next morning and says we will stop the cadet program and that will be the end and that how Qatar Airways is run.

It is EXTREMELY unlikely that you will fail the type rating after passing selection, 6 months of ground school and all the accompanied sim and flying hours. Make absolutely no mistake, selection itself has got to be the most demanding/intense test I have ever done, and plenty of others will say the same.
"If he wakes up next morning and says we will stop the cadet program"
4) Unless AAB loses the plot and decides he wants to start ruining everything he did in the last 15 years he isn't just going to call quits on the scheme. You have to remember that Qatar have also invested a lot of time, money and effort into the programme.

2)Did anyone confirm to you the time interval to upgrade from SO to FO?
some say 6 months some say might extend up to 18 months.There's nothing officially written about it I guess.
3)Can you please clarify what kind of money did QR invest into the scheme where the cadet is required to pay the grand total amount of £105,000?

momo95,
I have previously read the thread and the points that I have mentioned were not answered fully and objectively;however, it more likely was everyone's personal opinion. In fact, I don't know why you felt offended and perceived my questions as "sarcastically written", they were just normal questions heading towards the "truth" that some people don't want to see.
Let me simplify the questions that I've written for you.
1)"Do you mean that if a cadet passes the selection, he will most likely end up as a SO with QR with no risks being discarded at all?"
As imran_x66 stated above there is unfortunately nothing guaranteed, anyone could be discarded after spending the £105,000 I guess. In addition to being discarded by the airline, don't forget that the license is an MPL, no other airline will accept and approve that license other than the one who you trained with until you upgrade to 1500 hours.
2) "Did anyone confirm to you the time interval to upgrade from SO to FO?
some say 6 months some say might extend up to 18 months.There's nothing officially written about it I guess."
Again, everyone said something about it but there is NOTHING officially written that confirms the exact time interval. If you have any formal information about it, I would love to know.

Momo, from you previous posts, I have seen that you have unconditional support for QR for reasons better known to you.
I raised a few questions that I thought was necessary to be answered. My doubt grew when I didn't receive an answer from CTC when I asked them what will happen to the Cadet when they fail their TR exam. The simply ignored my email, though they replied to all my previous ones.
Nothing is guaranteed in middle east. They can change their mind anytime without being held accountable to anyone.
I read on several PPRuNe forums about what happened to the CTC graduates Qatar hired before they launched the Qatar MPL. Many of them did not even get to fly for months and were made to do clerical duties just for the sake of contract they had.

Hi Doratheexplorer,
I am interested in the scheme-
Can I ask a few basic questions,
What could I expect at the Qatar scheme aptitude, group, interview, any different to normal wings selection? Obviously interview will be.
Any top tips? What's phase 4?

The requirement for non-native English speakers is the IELTS level 6. I´ve got a diploma from the British Council from 2011, with an advanced level c1.2, which is equivalent to the IELTS 6.
I tried to call them today but it was too late so will to try again tomorrow, does anyone know if they will accept my certificate or the Ielts is a must?
