It seems some people now are getting DOJs as DEC for both 777 and 787 for December and January.

A couple of questions for a new joiner:

Any idea how good/bad the Al Kaabi Complex is? I can't find any pictures/videos...

I heard there are only a couple B777 sims in Doha and for the initial training they send you somewhere else. Any idea where are they located?

Thanks!

Use Google Maps, there are plenty of pics and location of the “complex” there.

It's a brand new complex which opened some months ago. A lot of new joiners are being allocated there.
The complex is not bad (gym, swimmimg pool, sauna, tennis and squash courts) and flats and villas are very good. There's not much around the complex, but you can reach almost anywhere in the city within 15-25min by car.
There's a huge mall under construction just 10min walking distance. It should open by early 2019.

Can anyone at Qatar offer some insight on non-type rated F/O recruitment at the moment?

Saw the advertisement for various recruitment events next month, but they don’t specifically mention they are looking for Bus or Boeing rated people (whereas the Qatar Recruitment website very much does)

Are they likely to consider anyone else?

I have circa 2500TT with 1000 on the emb195.

thanks

Windshear... ratchet down the hostilities, and ratchet up level of professionalism,. You’ll garner respect from your peers by doing your homework before posting, or opining your views about other carriers (upgrade times at airlines).

You know Windshear, you can make your age, which may be your weakness, your ultimate strength..

Does anybody know if Qatar accept an application with 3000 total with 700 on the A320 without 1000 jet hours? The other ones was on the ATR72.

Regarding Upcoming Road Shows....

Has there been any movement in Holding Pool for Airbus FO’s?
Any news or updates? I see Qatar still interviewing for TR Airbus FO’s. And now Road Show dates too.
Surely if Qatar doing Road Shows, those that have been waiting should be getting notifications....?
Any Senior Ranking know most popular in-take months? Following Financial Year End....
Cheers

737 Hours

Hi. Requirements for Boeing FO’s advises 500 hours on the 737NG. Does anyone have any idea as to if Qatar would accept hours on the 737 Classics?
Am really keen to apply to Qatar as soon as I have the 1000 hours Multi Crew, but this will be an issue if hours on the Classics are not acceptable.
Thanks.

Just for info, I went to the meeting yesterday, package seems great but the Airbus/Boeing rating is a hard requirement for F/Os at the moment 🤷
