Thank you very much. I am in fact aware of the previous posts concerning the MCC but wanted to see if specifically any normal SO had the situation and what was the output.
Well, will see what will happen then...

And tomorrow it will be week 13 of wait for fleet allocation and contract. Since all the other FTSO who did their interview at the same time and after already received allocation 320, is it safe to think that the reason behind this long wait is probably a different fleet allocation (not talking about 787 ok!!!)

Qatar pilot open days
Hello,
I plan to attend to the pilot opend days in Rome next week.
I have questions regarding the pilot open days for qatar airways:
How does it work?
do you have to be invited by the company?
Who are the qatar airways stakeholders?
What are the topics discussed during these days?
The fact to be at this open days, does it give more chance to be called for a pilot selection?
Thanks for your help

I called them, they told me it was still processing. They know I am on hold, but I have to wait. Don't know why the others received their contracts and fleet already. Maybe it's the fleet allocation...

I am current on 737NG and applied to QR at the end of Nov, but no answer till today.
Is it a normal period for interview invitation or just wasting my time and I should step forward?

Don't worry. I applied the beginning of december. Also so far nothing for me. But i guess they are very busy so i would not be surprised if it takes another month more.
Does anybody know if u want to update your application, you have to again submit it, or is saving just good enough?

Axum and Inner
It does take about a month and a half to two months before they will get back to you once you meet all the requirements... that the normal timeline.
Right now they are soo backlonged and from what I hear, there are guys in Qatar right now for the past 2 months that are just starting there training. I think it will be an average of 2 months before they get back to you and don't forget all the holidays that came in between when you applied and now...
so just be patient and you will get an answer!
good luck

A320 layovers are in Berlin, Stuttgart, Vienna, Rome, Venice, Milan, Budapest, Sofia, Zurich, Moscow, Entebbe, Nairobi, Dar Es Salaam, Seychelles, Maldives, Colombo, Trivandrum, Cochin, Calicut, Hyderabad, Calcutta and Katmandu. Probably forgot some.
Most layovers are around 24h, some can be 18h (Colombo) and the occasional 30-48h (Berlin, Milan, Rome).
Hotels range from very nice like Budapest, Hyderabad and Calcutta to bad like Calicut. Actually, to call the Taj in Calicut "bad" would be an insult to bad hotels.

Yes, Istanbul, Athens and Ankara are turn-arounds. Sofia is combined with Bucharest so the duty is DOH-OTP-SOF, 24h layover and next day SOF-OTP-DOH.
Rumour is we're starting layovers in Kigali (Rwanda) and Tbilisi, if we haven't already. I also heard something about Mombasa and Zanzibar. Not sure if these will be layovers or combinations.

Normal SO Training
Hi everybody,
Just wondering what training steps are involved once hired as a normal SO?
Is there basic training? Period of just observation flights? or more like straight into Type Rating then into RHS? I understand line training is 90 sectors for normal SO?
Also if anybody has an idea of the timelines involved in the above?
Thanks
