Mr Ho
Got to agree with Rocco. We should let the Ho down begin again. Give him one more chance on the understanding he self-moderates. I think some people saw a lot of truth in his tortured English.

Ho was the irritating village fool, very true. But clearly his character was complete fiction. Heartfelt offense of fiction is the apex of idiocy.

Eager pilots yakking away on this forum about how terrible it is and how wonderful it would be if only management did this or that are like an old womens sewing circle
Goat Airways employs the 1159 Management Policy. The Catamite King knows exactly what is necessary, but will wait till the 11th hour and 59th minute to act. Instead of chattering like old women, kick the Goat in the nuts without mercy. History has proved that for some reason the clock then runs much faster?

Don't worry, if you are holding a UK passport you are in, just a matter of time, things are too slow here, but the reward is: you will jump all the 320 captains already flyin in QA for years and fly Wide Body type DEC, even if you are a 320 rated pilot!
Worth waiting

767 rating and 5000hrs.....MY GOD!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have found the next Chief Pilot 777!
Welcome on board mate, hope you are bringing your flack jacket, as you will be jumping over the heads of many of our pilots who have been here for a couple of years but who find themselves stuck on the Tuk-Tuk!
Good for you, bad for them, stupid from the company!

To widebody300er
In general, things are running slow here, but QA needs 777 type rated pilots ASAP some extra qualifications will help...like TRI/TRE ...etc..., next priority is given to Boeing rated pilots...e.g. 767 / 757 / 737 NG.
As sad as it may sound, in all previous cases you will get priority over the senior company pilots who are stuck on 320 for example (even if they had previous experience on 767 or 737) don't ask me why ! The answer is in the mind of our Flight Ops managers.
The final answer for you is be patient you will be selected to fly 777.

Guys,
maybe we should be a bit more considerate in the future.
Who says this person is applying as a DEC?
And we do need all the good FOs we can get our hands on, dont we? In that case he still would jump over the heads of the A320 FOS, but thats not such a big problem as at least the A320 FOs at the moment are moving to the trouble-7!
To all good pilots out there intrested in the right seat...you are MOST welcome!

You are right, I assumed he is a captain, and you are right we need all the good F/Os plus all the good captains we can get.
In the case of 320 F/Os most of them are young and with minimum jet time, previously flying the RJ 200 family...etc, so it is OK for them to gain some experience before moving to the bigger types, and they were never blocked from moving forward once they gained the experience.
My comment was about experienced captains who previously flew DC-10 or 767 but when they applied as non type rated they were selected for the 320 and with the new transfer rules...they will be stuck on the 320 for a while.
Do you remember the TRE who was denied the 777 after 6 years on the 320?? Because he had no previous wide body time!
Yes exactly, he was the only Capt. to move to the 777 -so far- He was transferred only after he decided to leave the company.
My question is ... how many captains we have on the 320 who flew wide body types and still stuck on the 320?
I think it is unfair from QA to privilege the new joiners over the long serving personnel.
In all the major airlines, seniority means benefits, but not here.

Since we are talking about Qatar...
....quick question for You guys don't mean to hijack the thread....but why applicants don't have to take a medical during the interview?? i guess they go thru that after the job offer....what kind of medical regs they follow, are they really tough.....what happens if you're not up to standards???
Just curious.
Thanx and good luck to e-body...
