i found pretty much everything easy except the math and the physics. The math i havent touched in 2 years so i was strugling to remember all that fun calc and the physics i found out in the late part of the exam that they provided a formula sheet, they didnt even tell us!!!
Even though i found the math and physics a bit hard, i really dont think they were that challenging as tests.
And funny enough the english test was easy, but i think i messed up the part with the tape conversations because i started to get tired and loss my concentration.

man you think that you did well in english ... what about "loss of concentration" if they see a similar mistake in your writing they'll expell you immediately hehe. just kidding. just a word for all of you guys. i know you did well but this filtration process will only the people who pass all the tests (english, math, physics and the IQ reasoning stuff) just like back when i was doing these tests they said that they wanted to recruit 30 people but only 50 passed this test and got filtered and a long process that still to come now for you. so eventhough you did well in the reasoning and english, but unfortunately the math and physics also counts. sorry to say that. yeah anyways if you want any additional information guys just ask for it ...
wish you luck

Well boys,
its been over a month since the intial exam and still no reply for me from MEA, oh well.......i thought they would have at least let the people who failed know their results. Anyways I just want to wish everyone who passed good luck and i hope you all get through, and please keep us updated on the process of the selection and how everything is going. As for me I'm just going to change my University major to Math + Physics, try again the next round and hope for the best....i'm not giving up, i want this very badly....but for now i'm going to work on my tan.
Good Luck guys
Keep me updated

They said bare requirements, but they had guys with 2000hrsTT with ATPL applying and thus were probably one the ones that got in. Remember when they say minimum 250TT, there are usually guys with 1000hrs applying.

I know of one guy with only 350 hrs TT... I dont really know what the criteria were to pass but as my forespeaker said, there were lots of guys with >1000hrs and even some with airline/jet experience. But the worst thing that can happen to you if you apply is that they say no thanks. so no loss for you mate.
still wondering what they are going to do with the guys/gals in the holding pool. its been 8 months since then and not a word. they did have further interviews in april...so I suppose they will need us at one point in time.
wish you guys all the best of luck!!

Qatar Airways - cadet program - SO
Hi all,
Does anyone know when the next cadet pilot / second officer selection program is for Qatar Airways?
Does this program offer places to pilots with UK CPL/IR with low hours i.e 240hrs but with no UAE national/citizenship??

The last Qatar Airways SO scheme was back in 2005 (read back through this thread), and was advertised in Flight International in Jan or Feb 2005. I have not seen the scheme advertised since. So I have no idea if they are still running a SO scheme.
At my interview group the three main nationalities were Canadian, English and Brazilian; therefore middle Eastern citizenship was not required.
I applied in Feb 2005 and was interviewed in November 2005, at the time I applied I was low houred modular (270 hours), however I did hold an aero engineering degree and I was also under the 29 yr age limit at the time. Obvioulsy I wasn't succesful because I am now a flight instructor.
One batch was interviewed in London and another in Doha, but I hardly heard about anyone that actually started the scheme. The requirements are already stated in this thread, but I will repeat them here for clarity.
It simply said frozen ATPL from recognised school, with preference for those with a tertiary education in a science or engineering, under 29 years of age. Possibility it may have mentioned management subjects as acceptable as well.
