Cheers LJ and CCCC,

Appreciate the update. With many DECs coming into the different fleets, it is good to know that senior FOs will have some other options for Command.

Any idea how much time does it normally take to know the result after the interview?

I think a good rule of thumb is if it takes longer than 2 weeks it will most likely be good news.

Well I'm a single guy in Doha....and its pretty nice to be around. The living standards are expensive so are the house accommodations. The company is not giving accommodation for now, but the money is enough to get an apartment outside.

If you every get board Dubai is next door and there is 10 flights a day.

If you are a single guy, there is girls around.... but you will have to pay to go to alot of clubs on the nights girls may go there.

so if you get caught or even rumored to have "screwed the crew" you may as well pack your bags as you will be sacked no questions asked.

Its certainly no Dubai, but no Saudi Arabia either.

Its a mostly boring place entertainment wise.... generally, but its tolerable mostly.

Hi all,

just wanted to ask if anybody could send me via PM some numbers of the HR department agent which is responsible for the hiring process. I interviewed as FT S/O in April, got good news in June and the FD Talent Pool mail the end of June. Since then nothing new. Even on emails via the fdtalent adress no response.

Greetings and thanks a lot in advance,

ER.

But... Do you have to pay the bond in this case if u are still bonded?
YES !!!
Even if you think your a smarty pants, you wont interpret it the same as "they" will (managment and/or legal system); and it wont come out in your favour

Looking at the thread with QR putting on 3 more routes to the US next year, it is almost inevitable for the pilots that are in the pool to get call.....more routes=more planes, more pilots.

More routes, more planes, 'soon' a new airport ... will be a shortage of pilots for the next decade at least!
