When do you start getting paid?
I'm hearing all sorts of times to wait for a contract. Once you have signed a contract how long do you wait to start getting paid? Is it after commencing training and if so how long can you wait to begin training?
Presently unemployed , so trying to calculate how many months I could go without pay.
Thanks

Any Current QR pilot can give some direction to what to study before you get to QR to make the flying transitions easier? E.g. Air-law? etc
I have been flying around Oz.
Thanks

A friend of mine was telling me about a law in the USA that states if you take an over-seas job, when you return to the USA you are not allowed to work for an operator that carries US Mail for something like 4 or 5 years. Can anybody confirm this or have any details about this law? It would be great to make some money over-seas for a few years, but I would hate to come back and not be able to get a job.

I have to go back to my college books but if I recal it gets back to the 1930/40's when the CAA was running things and they used to put out united states postal contracts out for bid. Same thing today, most USPS contracts are done by FedEx or UPS. the majors do carry some but as a third party member so the rule does not apply. It makes no sense but we still operate under the RLA FROM 1936 which gives us no rights to strike.

Hi,
Can a Bahraini FO (a friend of mine) joining QR bring his German live-in girlfriend with him to Doha ?
Would they be violating any Qatari or QR rules ?
I remember checking into a hotel in Doha in the 90s with my wife and they demanded proof of marriage before giving us a room.
Thanks.

In a word yes, you would be breaking the law, either she may be deported or both of you if you are caught, although I know many who have done it and gotten away with it....I don't really know how its policed tbh....
