haha not at all...but i will...still studying mate...but i got a few relatives working 4 Qatar Airways...my uncle, who's a pilot, told me they're taking more pilots these days as their fleets are expanding n the increased numbers of pilots resigned due to bad living condition....currently, i would say they're putting new SOs directly for the A330...depending on ur performance during the interview...i dont think they're gonna send u guys for the A300 cuz they're phasing 'em out by Mid- or end of 2008....

A300
msian1147, A300 passenger fleet is already phased out except 1 aircraft which is still doing some flights untill the end of the year. There are 3 A300 cargo version that belongs to company and those ones will stay and no plan to phase out. I m telling you this because I fly for qr, and I heard 10 SOs are joining the A300 fleet from next month. I guess the concerned people have already received the letters but I believe no one will say anything on pprune...
good luck to everyone...

Indeed.
Don't just focus on Qatar. Of course it would be nice, but this way you'll never get a job.
Never bet on one horse. (Not sure if it is an english phrase too.)

@ Hikmah; I did the assesment the 8th of March in London and after the interview we talked with one of the captains downstairs while waiting for a taxi, he confirmed that they were also looking for some people for the A300 fleet and I think he was flying the A300 as well.

sorry 4 da l8 reply...i've been a little bit busy...well it is true that they still have 1 more A300 but u guys r more likely to go 4 the A330 or the A320...heard that some pilots r leaving...dont know what their reasons are...maybe due to the soaring cost of living in Doha...im starting to feel the pain in the butt regarding the cost of living...going out with friends to watch movies n hang out at malls would cost me more than 100 riyals...in one night....SICK!even Riyadh n Abu Dhabi r wayy cheaper...

msian1147,
Thanks for the info, can i ask you about rent rates in doha, like how much a studio or one bedroom apartment would cost in doha in a decent area? im not looking at a very posh area......
i am asking because i know that rentals have gone sky high... any info would be great.
thanks

a small apartment could minimally cost u about QR 10,000. if ure comparing to kuwait n bahrain, doha is an expensive city....but the good news is, employees will be provided with Company housing on a shared basis...or maybe an allowance of QAR 12K or more per month in lieu of housing..based on my findings, most pilots would opt for the latter...
ohh another thing, the rent rates keep on rising from time 2 time...it's ridiculous....
