Hey there.
For sim practice in the UK try Virtual Aviation.
They're very helpful and they use Oxford at LGW amongst others I think.
For the tech test a calculator should do you. Depending what paper you get you may not need any. Most of us don't remember how to use a CRP 5 !!!

I don't know what the take home is on 320, I guess its less as their flight hours vs block hours are very different (you don't get paid per block only flying hour) plus there aren't as many layovers, although that has increased recently. The pay structure here is unfair on all fleets with the 777 being the highest paid to the 320 the lowest.
Staff travel starts after 3 months from DOJ, I think.

Compared to the duty performed yes...definitely the money is less on A-320!(meal allowance as well!)
How do you feel when you a have a 12 hours duty time and you known you gone be paid only for ..7 hours..or a 9...10 hours duty and being paid only for 5 hours or less??
Lovely isn't?
This company should pay the crew from sign in to sign out! But they won't do that off course,knowning that on top of that with such an unadequate airport,the only think we might get in the near future is more and more delays, mean more and more "free Duty" performed by the crew.

Are the rates of pay, posted on Pilotsjobnetwork up to date? 26500 QAR's for a Year 1 Captain, 18000 QAR's housing allowance & 120 QAR's Block Pay?
Is it 'commutable' from Europe?
Thanks in advance

Qatar F/O seat - Questions for recent hires - THKS in advance :)
Hi guys,
I have a few questions regarding F/O seat in Qatar fleet.
1 - Is it mandatory to send copies of last two sim checks upon application? I'm missing these for obvious reasons and they aren't in English...
2 - How long would it take since their approval until the end of training? How much do you earn in that period?
2 - If sucessfull, is it possible to choose fleet, or will it be assigned to you at their discretion?
3 - How's your life in the sand pit? How much freedom do you really have? Do you get to play watersports or golf? Other distractions?
4 - Are western women harassed on the beach/other public places (even spouses)? Are they allowed to?
Please kindly take the liberty to add something you may find relevant even if not asked.
Please send PM if preferred.
Thank you all

Just to add. My average monthly over the whole year as an FO A330 is closer to 26000 seem to be doing 60ish hours. A fair poercentage of your total is allowance and productivity based.

Hi guys, I posted before but no one answered my question yet.. If you have a choice to go to flydubai, qatar or etihad, which one do you choose? I read this thread and found there used to be a lot of complains but now there is not much. Is everyone quite happy there now?!

It depends what you are looking for ?
In Etihad and Qatar Airways you will have the opportunity to fly long haul...
In Flydubai there are only B737 so no long haul BUT you will be home every day , no jet lag .
Also Flydubai is a low cost company while the 2 other ones are flag carrier so the way you will be treated will not be the same ( salary , medical insurance , loss of license , school allowances etc are better than in Flydubai...
So it is really up to you to see what is more important for you ?

Thanks, guys... I just don't have good feeling of flydubai after I was told to pay for the interview and they don't even give me a ticket to go to the interview neither . Qatar on the other hand, they give me a confirm ticket.... I have to think hard...!
