Nothing decided and communicated yet. Only loose rumours floating around.
For the 777 FOs it is very hard work at the moment if you have the IRP and Cargo training done, they're working on it but it's taking time. Good money though if you don't do much deadheading on paxflights.
It was the other way around not long ago so it's hard to tell what to expect however it's still a good gig for many.

There are no typical rosters, the flying is mixed and you can shape the rosters somewhat depending on how you bid. Life is pretty good on the 787 at the moment for both FO/CPT. Enjoy!

Thanks APU_inop, much appreciated. Without trying to sound too stupid, when you say shape the roster, could you elaborate? I understand preferential bidding etc, having used it in a previous airline, but it was heavily manipulated.

Goes in cycles, right now for the 787 FOs the rosters are great.

At times when there are plenty of pilots in your fleet satisfaction rate is high on the bids conversely lower when there are less pilots.

Great lifestyle, I can only recommend it to everyone because the city is also so nice and your family will love it. If you are single you will love our fantastic cabin crew as well. They might not say hello to you because you are most likely someone who earns too much for doing nothing, while at the same time just trying to sleep with them on layovers and they know from the company that it's better not to hang out with you (I told you already that the company is smart).
Before I forget, the culture and the positive developments in every aspect of how they run the airline really inspired me.
I really think that I will miss the DOH LAX flight without day off or the cargo runs with min rest every second flight because we have an effective fatigue management system which is entirely embedded in the usual just culture.
Please come and take my place when im gone after my notice is done, the seat will still be warm and I haven't farted a lot recently.

My stats for this fiscal year are approximately 1050 block hours on 777, factored (FO). Duty Time over 1600.

Plenty of operators begging for your talent. Feel free to vote with your feet. That'll teach them.

I believe more of a presentation and meeting....think they are now doing some of the basic interview processes at the roadshow to help and narrow down the list.......but those selected will still come to Doha for the remaining parts of the assessment

I would suggest you as an individual can go to as many roadshows/ interviews as you like. If you are worried about EK finding out you went to a Qatar intrerview, I would politely suggest you think about that.
