question

Hello Ace,
Did a check on the post you mentioned. But you left out the part where Mango talks about the present A330 CP. Lets not be selective on what we tend to read.
Cheers Ace.

UPDATE on rent prices
rent prices aren't even close to start dropping. The local newspapers claim the main problem to be the wish of the landlord to rent the property at once to one company. Meaning NO individual contracts but one tenant preferably a company. QR wake up and either provide a decent accommodation or rise the housing. Any rumors on a new package?

Spirit..i´m afraid (but i hope i´m wrong), that you were lured during the Q.A. interview (as a lot of us).....
As you have already probably noticed now, management here is full of lies and liars!
Cheers.

Go to the thread "QR JOB OFFER" 3rd page, there is a reference to a newspaper article regarding the cost of live in doha today..
The figure mentioned (29000 QR) is more or less equal to a F/O salary in Q.A. today on A300 or A320....
Cheers.

And i forgot, when you see ths cost of live here you may think you are here in a place like "côte D'Azur..." or in switzerland....but you are "just" in Doha, a city in the middle of the desert, with nothing except hotels and shopping centers...

quite easy, don't sweat it

you arrive one day before the interview

around 8AM you get a briefing about QR and Doha

Followed by a technical quizz (around 10 questions multiple choice [general: performance, aerodyn, airlaw - or type specific if type-rated] , 2 essays [what makes a good pilot, describe procedure in case of GPWS, aborted T/O, etc...)

You're then called for an interview appointment. (3 or 4 tech questions, really short (again basic perfo - like climb gradients, ASDA, TODA, etc...) 1 or 2 personal questions - why QR, etc...) (around 15 minutes)


If succesful, you get an appointment for the sim (A300 or A330 depending of where you do the interview)

Sim: Visual circuit in Doha full stop
T/O again with Engine failure after V1
Single Engine ILS

That's it

forgot about the psychological test...

around twenty x four propositions.

Out of each four: one is what represents you the most, one is what represents you the least.

But I guess it's not something you could prepare for...

hi pilota...thats exactly what I mean! :-) got a positiv reply and never heard from them again. no answers to emails, no answers by phone (i you did get someone on the phone you were treated like a nuisance)...they seem to forget that people travelled quite far and spent lots of money to come to their interview...so you can understand that qr isnt really a company that i think very well of :-)
