I'm also standing by for my "offer of employment". Could you guys point out what sort of info is included in this? I.e.
-course start date?
-accommodation details?
-entry visas for self+family?
-relocation tickets/ air cargo?
Just curious since it's taken a bit of time to get it.

Very difficult I would say, 1 week every 2 months for annual vacation and another 4 days per month as guaranteed consecutive off days. Other than that, there are no guarantees.

Can anyone help. I have an interview with Qatar for DEC 787. I'm led to believe that I could expect 6 days off in a row p/m. I understand that this is subject to rostering requirements, but is it usually achievable or just a recruitment carrot?
Also, any kind soul prepared to say how the 787 rosters are. Any help would be really appreciated.

Well that doesn't fill me with any more hope unfortunately. Screened could mean Jason Bourne is filled in to do my interview or something !!!!!
It's a fairly quiet roster on the 787 from the brief conversations I've had with folk there. Relatively quiet I should have said.

It's not so much that I need a quiet roster, in fact i've never had one, but I would like to get home more than once every 3 months. If the possibility of 6 days off per month is a real one, then I'm happy.
Whats your experience/ background?

What were his various time limit windows at ?
What was his satisfaction ranking for the last three months ?
Did he have training scheduled in the next 90 days ?
Did he have leave in the previous 30 or next 30 days ?
A lot more than simply what you bid goes into roster building.
There are no "Special Captains"
There are only Captains who think they are special.

Depends on the aircraft type.
Another company in the region is going to start offering commuting contracts, 4w on 2w off or something like that and QR will have to follow in the near future.
Other than that, it is a non commuting gig, don't let anyone make you believe anything else or you might end up being unhappy.

I agree....depending on fleet the schedule can be quite nice and you may get home often.
That being said it is not a commuting contract so if you come expecting that you will become very frustrated
