Hikmah, thanx for sharing wht u know. But wht i feel is that it cant be accuarate.
My way of seeing a hiring process is that if they have to select 10 candidates, they would rather just call 20 for the interview and select 10 of them. WHy would they even bother going to LOndon for interviews and then asking so mnay others to spend so much and come all the way to DOha if they just wanna take 10 out of the 70 odd people. I mean its not like they have so much time anyway, theyre very busy at QR and so it doesnt make sense if they spend so much of their time interviewing all of us.. and then just take 10.
Either take 10, but then interview only 20. Or if ur interviewing 70 then take atleast around 50. Put them in a pool and just keep pulling them out of the pool as the need arises. Fine there may be a waiting period of 12months or more like 18 months..but atleast ur assured of a job with QR in the holding pool.
It doesnt make sense at all to just hire 10 rite now and then to hire more guys again in a yr or so and go over the process of interviews all over again with a fresh batch of guys.
I mean with the amount of orders theyve placed for aircrafts wht Mr. Arthur was telling us...and the fact that theyre doubling their fleet in the next 3-5 yrs, shows that they will need manyyy pilots including second officers..and they will have to put out another add in a year's time if they dont hire close to 50 of us and put us in a pool.
Anyway, not long to wait now.. this is just my thinking dont know if u guys agree. And the men who matter most.. as in the ppl at QR might think differently. SO lets just wait and see and hope for the best.
Good Luck all!

I suppose both the fresh pilot school leavers and the guys working doesnt make much difference in terms of both groups being in touch with their skills although the working pilots have the added experience and have been using their skills. Id pick the workers but i dont think there were that many from the people i talked to at the interview.

I wonder nationality theyre gonna give more priority to...the thing is.. we're not sure what exactly they were looking for on our resumes..
So we wont be able to feel comfortable either way till we hear from QR directly..
