Qatar interview process

Hey folks,

How's the QR interview like? I would appreciate any info from peeps who interviewed recently. Is there any technical interview, sim ride? What's the best way to prepare for it, any books to read?

Thanks a lot

Qatar Interview Questions?

I am preparing for an interview as a direct-entry captain with Qatar. Can anyone tell me what questions they are currently asking in their interviews? Also would appreciate any info on the questions asked on the A310.

Qatar's package and Working conditions

Can anyone having flown for Qatar for more than 2 years tell about the working conditions there? Have heard a lot of conflicting stories from various people.

The new package sure looks attractive... Is the stated package before or after the rumoured 30% hike in salaries?

SubsonicMortal, hi there. My friend you will ongoing hear all kind of stories.
Good once as well as bad once. All very much a personal choice and preferences. If you need someone whispering in your ear "GO" than ask someone of your buddies you know is gonna say it. It's also very personal choice when it comes to money. Euro people (captains) will probably reconsider their positions as soon as Euro/US$ hits 1.5. F/Os will stick it out waiting for their command. That's just an example. The list is endless.
Sorry cant help you.
Cheers.

Most of the increase went into the housing. Housing is very expensive in Doha. The allowance for housing is now Qr12000 and even with that amount you cannot a decent place.

When comparing with other airlines, do not make the mistake of considering the 12000Qr p/m Housing Allowance as an attractive part of your salary.

A civilized compound villa will cost you 15000 average, the alternative company offered accomodation for Captains is acceptable but nothing fancy. Family or not, company FO accomodation is .

The sandy footprints of those before you really are the best guide. Bean counting is now complete, New Package Euphoria is now over, and pilots still resigning or jumping ship....

Shape of the dunes may change from year to year, but the sand under your feet is still just broken glass....

But Dear stain, The allowance is great. Especially if when shared. Live wid yo bro (and 40 others) and life is fine. 12,000 - OK

"Cliq.. Clack.... clickedy clack" What is that?

The sound of hoof on ceramic floor as fresh young goat explores the concrete wonder of his new quarters at the Jeddah Flyover Slum.

rental or mortgage

Does anybody know if it is possible to switch the housing allowance to a housing loan if u want to buy a property in Doha?
I mean if u buy a house do you lose the company allowences (housing/furniture/utility).
tks
