Applied for Captain and my status is "screened"

Apart from the obvious, what does that mean for Qatar?

Thanks in advance

May I ask, when did you apply and when was your interview? I am trying to plan things a little with my current employer. I would appreciate your information. Congrats by the way.

Thank you for the reply. It seems a long time but for me this is actually an advantage.

Failed interview

Does anybody knows that, if after he fails the interview (after the tech test passed) and re-aplies after 6 months,he gets hired in the rebound? Just wondered.

Hi Everybody,

Since all of you guys have been to the presentation, could you give me a few info :

- What is the updated entry salary for TR A320 FO ?
- What is the internal policy regarding the upgrade or fleet change (A320 to wide body)?

Thanks and good luck to all of you ;-)

Adding to the above post, can someone please elaborate on the current schedule (turnarounds, flight hours per mo, days off per mo.) and the type/location of accommodation for FO?

Thanks in advance!

I tried to message you but you're not allowing PMs for some reason

Congrats on the start date

Hello and congrats on getting a DOJ.

First thing, as the colleague above said, is getting a police clearance certificate in English. If you have more than one citizenship, you'll have to get it from both countries.

Other documents are copies of pilot License, passport, medical certificate, ATPL or frozen ATPL passes, English level, LPC, last logbook pages signed/stamped etc.

They'll send you some forms to fill in order to validate your foreign licença to QCAA and also a medical form. If you have any health issue, you should provide the correspondent medical documents.

And some weeks before your DOJ, you'll have to provide your release letter from current/former employer.

Congrats!

Make sure you have the Qatar specific health checks done in your home country before resigning from your current job. HR at QR probably told you the same and it is best to have them done as a pre check before getting over here rather than finding out in Doha that you cannot get a RP.

The RP is basically a bloodtest and an x-ray of the chest.

You have to do a complete new initial medical class 1 either there or in the UK I think. If you have problems from before, I would spend the time and money to get everything sorted out in advance before heading to Doha. Sorting those things out after joining is not a big issue but it takes time and is a source of great frustration since so much is on stake for us careerwise.

Good luck to everyone and enjoy!
