QR "short-listed"

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone can provide any insight as to what the average time frame (lately) is from having your application "short-listed" until you're invited to an interview at QR? Has anyone ever been short-listed and have yet to be interviewed (ie - after months and months of waiting).

Many thanks for any info!

Qatari and short list? now that's funny...

No real pilot with enough brain would like to work for a company like Qatari. Don't get fooled with new shinny planes and so called 5 stars airline bs.

Now, if you have been rejected by EK, EY that is a diff stroy.

It's a great place to start your aviation life, get the exp. hours, type and bye bye....

They are begging pilots to come so when you mention ""short list"" you almost killed me from ...

Flyjets...Don´t forget that the salary upgrade here is like a desperated emergency procedure in order to try to prevent more people from leaving the company and to cope with the huge inflation here....(don´t even talk about the currency exchange rate problem, where you loose money every month, ..except vs U$(fixed rate))....
Cheers.

Yes u are right, but the salary can only improve in the future (never saw it going back in my life) ...
The airline is fairly recent, not all is working properly of course, but those who have been working for QR since a long time can say something on how it was 7/8 years ago and why they still belive in QR by staying on board ... maybe hard but also rewarding ?
Money is not everything in life ? Shinny airplanes are not everything for a pilot ? so what else...
QR is a fairly new airline,right now they are just floating (remember EK start up) I belive give them time ...
Cheers

Hope it goes okey for those who left for QR...thats been my motto as well BP unless the job disappears there is no point in "dune hopping" in my opinion....

If it's true that they have stopped taking non-rated DECs, they're going on the opposite direction of the market, see KAL, and I'm sure it won't be easy for them to find rated DECs, to live on the hot sand pit and to face the Middle East way of managing an airline.
I was short listed on January 2006. Never got called for the interview. Got another job.
