london has its ups and downs, and so does doha, i have been to doha twice and its a small (very small) place, all the nightlife is underground and hidden (whatever nightlife there is) and it can get a bit mundane, but on the other side, i guess you could describe it as a small and serene city...and its got some nice countries to visit within 2 hours flight time...

in my opinion, just because someone has a friend working in the airline doesn't mean that the information which they pass on is the correct one. heard of chinese whispers?

the recruiting of pilots is no joke, it is a task which HR mangagement and pilots deal with. Unless someone has PROPER inside information that second officer recruitment is complete, then they should not say it. If i know someone in the Qatar airways' despatch department or IT depratment, how the hell would they be a reliable source of info as to when a second officer recruitment is complete??

Those who have not heard from qatar airways should not be disappointed yet, i called up the airline and spoke to the HR secretary who checked my name on their remaining list of possible S/O employees today, and was told that i will hear from them very soon......thus, they have not forgotten me, and neither accepted nor rejected me yet, and the same goes for all those who have not heard yet from Qatar.

reliable sources of information are worth posting on here, not amateur unreliable posts!!

No news from them...

I have a question, for how long the cadets of Qatar stays as second officers? Someone told me that the s/o only do communications in cruise...!
Maybe I have a wrong idea of the second officer work.
What's the real difference between be a f/o or a s/o in Qatar?

Thank you for the replies.

There is not much diffrence between f/o and s/o except salary and an amazing syllabus to be a good f/o.

you all know that you have to fly 124 sectors incl check ride as s/o, a sector is for ex : DOH - AUH or DOH - JFK.

1st fife sectors for exemple you help with the radio in the third seat.then ten other sectors you take controls as f/o right seat at 10000ft in climb and give back controls to f/o at 10000ft in descent. ten other sectors , take controls at 10000ft down to DH, the captain will land with f/o in third seat. then for exepl sim check for currency. back to the a/c, take control in climb and the captain may let you land depending on reports for exemple .

ten other sectors, you take off.

ten other sectors, you taxi and take off , might land??????. depending ???.

ten others , you start the engines , taxi.................. and so on.

Amazing ?!?!?!? isn't it??

4 last sectors , check rides.

figures are ruffly ten ,sometimes 8 , 12 ,16??????
