What do you mean?
Are they not hiring Boeing rated pilots at the moment?

When you determine your flight time for application, is your line training time added to it?

Nonsense as far as Flight Deck goes... we have let’s say 4000 pilots give or take. 30% would be 1333 per year = over 100 per month. There are pilots of course leaving every month for the usual reasons but nowhere near that number.

Even including the cabin crew who I suspect have a higher attrition % than pilots the number just doesn’t make sense. We have well over 10,000 cabin crew... the airline would cease to operate with that quantity of people leaving.

The numbers are far from accurate, but they are high. If you dig for the reasons you'll find it,but not here...

Good luck everyone
Congrats. Welcome aboard Tonker!

Hey Tonker,
Congrats,
I’m in the holding pool as well since 3 weeks (TR Boeing Fo)

Were you flying 737’s before?
Which fleet did they offer to you?

Are you joining for the left or right hand seat.
And I assume you are a 737 to 787 transition is that correct.
Cheers

Hi there.

On my current Class 1 medical, I have 3 limitations.
OML, SSL and SIC.

The OML is because I’ve had an eye condition which I was grounded for while it lasted. And then I got the SIC which basically means, that I have to get regular checks in my eye, as it might return quite suddenly. After the checks, I must report to my AME and licensing authority.

Would you think, that Qatar would reject my application or would they accept these limitations, as they are just precautionary and just states that I have to undergo regular checks with a specialist?

Ciao Volare,
