Can anyone in the Know shed some light on how the recruitment is going at QR?
How many screenings do they hold each month? Are they busy at the moment working on a backlog of hold pool pilots?
Are they a bit snowed under with applicants at the moment, or are they concentrating on a particular fleet?
Any information would be helpful.
Many thanks,
FBW

I copied the following from the pilot earnings thread in the T&Cs section of the forum;
For clarity, please post like this :
1) QR
2) RHS
3) 777
4) 3
5) Worked 230 days (of which 15 days off downroute), leave 42 days, off 94 days
6) All flights are with an overnight apart from line check
7) Block 1100 + 260 hours deadhead
8) NET approx 100.000,- for basic and flight pay
9) per diem depends on destination roughly 550,- to 750 euro a month, 3500,- housing + utilities
10) NET income 145.000,- euro per year

777 sounds a bit brutal to me!

regarding the days off well it can be achieved but not 100% every month it depends on how u Bid.
you can bid for up to 6 days off in a row , sometimes also you can plan to divide the 42 days annual leave on block of 6 days every other month .
Commuting is not easy but it can be done .
regarding company policy for rest you need to respect the 12 hr minimum rest ( they don’t monitor it 100% )before duty and before any URL duty you need to be acclimatized to doh.
hope this answer your questions.

If you don’t abide by the 12hr rule you may get away with it. However, if you don’t and then file a fatigue report following your subsequent Chennai night turnaround, then you’re exposing yourself. The QR system is not out to get you, but it does operate strictly by the book. And not just for pilots but for all employees. For example, the company does not care if you perform a go-around, which is SOP. They will care, and ask you to explain, if they find that somewhere up along the approach path you did not follow SOP, which then led to the go-around. It couldn’t be simpler, just do what the book says.

you get a week Off before Line Training called Training Leave (you can leave the country if you wish)... this is really to enable the company/QCAA to process your licence which you will need to start flying.

Thanks Bananaman
There are slight variations... it will depend on whether you’re doing a CCQ, are Type Rated or need a Full Type Rating, also where you do your training but count on 3months. For the first 4weeks or so you will be doing little or nothing to do with ‘your’ aircraft... it’s Medicals, SEP, Air Law, Company Inductions, Ditching etc.

Thank you. Will plan on having a week.
Thank you for your heads-up.

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

No matter how much you say or how you put it across, no one here is going to listen to you. They will only have to go there and feel what it is like to fly 120 hrs block a month flying through
timezones night in night out. All in a toxic environment. Don't look at the $$ guys, money can't replace peace in life. You don't wana be flying with fear all the time.
