Miguel.

I was short listed and told I would have to undergo an assessment.
The assessment is supposed to be conducted in Bahrain and has been postponed due to the problems there recently.

I do believe however that like you said, since I have been shortlisted and told I would be given a chance, my chances are still quiet good.

Hopefully things work out for both of us

@Miguel

That was one of the sites that I used to prepare, although it was free when I was using it. Shame. There is good and pertinent info on that site. I also used this site ( Airline Ratings & Interview Gouge ) to prep, very similar information available.

Hello,

already asked but still waiting for some inputs :

back to the A320, what is the career plan in QA for those assigned to that plane are you stuck on the airbus or regarding your experience you can move on the Boeing specially with B777 & B787 coming, because if it's a matter of time I understand that it might be difficult to fly the A320 instead of A330 or B777 but maybe after few years and seniority you can expect a better position.

Thanks for your inputs

Qatar airways interview

Miguel

I went for a First Officer interview with Qatar and I used latestpilotjobs website for studying for my interview. I have to say it was worth the money.

1- I saw around 50% of the ATPL questions (exact same wording)
2- HR interview was the same as they described
3- Simulator was very detailed as well

I think Qatar changes their ATPL questions from day to day. The reason I'm saying this is one of my friends that attended interview few days after me got different questions from what I got.

Now I have to convince my wife to move to sandpit

Good luck

Yes, Oxford Aviation - they used to be GECAT. They have an A330 sim near Heathrow. The ladies in the admin department are very efficient and helpful and can arrange both an instructor and stand in pilot if required.
This is the office number: +44 (0) 1293 543541

Reading lots of conflicting things.

What is the take home pay after everything for an FO on A320 and A330!? And how does staff travel work. Nominees or just the mrs.

Cheers!

On 330, as an FO you can expect somewhere between 30K and 34K (QAR) flying around 85+ hours a month.

Staff travel is purely for your family i.e wife,kids, your parents and and brothers/sisters you have. Nothing for your wife's side of the family.
