Straith foward bro,just dont mess it up.They need pilots because even with the crisis they are still losing pilots.

resignation
You are entering an airline which in middle of world economy downturn in last 2 months had over 12 resignations of F/O and some Capt .
Wander why ? Come and see how they treat you how they make your roster how long it take to change from A320 to A330 or 777 how long you need to become Capt . Even in this days there is options and a good one .

shame
CP A320 dont have time to release his senior pilots as he is busy with other important things .
CP A330 is also busy with bringing friends from India DEC 330 so no time to bother with A320 pilots beeing transfered to A330 .
CP B777 is also busy always with friend from 9 floor
CP Training busy also with own problems .
CP A300 ( sorry we dont have that one any more he got B777 )
CP recruitment busy going around a world brining DEC to 777 and 330why should he care about A320 pilots
All mangement pilots got A330 and A340 to be secure in future but they didnt do much for A320 pilots .
In QR to be SENIOR pilot is less respectful then junior one.
THANK YOU smart guys

Hey all,
A couple of my friends went for the QR interview and I believe that there were a whole lot of pilots from INDIA to take the interviews in Sin.Wonder why that may be.A lot from Jet and Kingfisher!!
. Also quite a few Typerated Capts from SQ who(i assume)were laid off due to downturn.Any idea as to the outcome of this exercise of QR...
Is the team still in Sin.And are they still conducting interviews.Cause,by what I heard they didn't seem to be very serious whilst during the exercise.....more as if they were hiring for the future.
Input welcome.

The recruitment team is there until tomorrow. Many SIA pilots have been there already this week, including myself. After a briefing and tech quiz, an interview with 2 of the recruiters. They are slotting people in for future tentative course dates right up to the end of the year, even as they are slotting you in for the simulator evaluation in Doha. Btw, they are very polite and welcoming.
Some of pilots are type rated on the B777 already, including many of the guys that are Australian based who are getting "laid off" in April, and some other B777 guys Singapore based whose contracts expire this year. On my day there were also B747 and A340-500 guys, some of whom already have been told their contracts won't be renewed.
Lots of the 747 guys have contracts running into next year or the year after, but they aren't gonna sit on the fence and watch the train leave the station. I'd guess most of the guys were 15,000 hr ++ pilots or more with loads of wide-body heavy international flying.
Qatar's gain is Singapore's loss. Just for interest sake, a B777 on a training flight with a second officer as PF had a runway excursion landing on 02L two days ago. They put one of the bogies into the infield, smashing a few runway edge lights and damaging tires. Oh well, that's for another thread I guess.

Interview day:
Airline and country presentation by the Chief pilot for recruitment. This included the entire package, salary, housing etc. A tech quiz of about 30 questions, nothing type specific, but rather of a general flying nature, not too bad. Fill in the formal application form and have a coffee before the interview itself, conducted by an A330 and a B777 Captain. Background? Why would you choose QR? Why would QR choose you? Will you bring the family? When can you do the sim check? How soon can you join? Any questions?
All in, a straight forward day, very relaxed and friendly.
If you join you will live in company housing. A villa for captains and a flat for F/Os.

Pretty pathetic only to mention the restriction. Cope with the fact that airlines have regulations. At least they provide plenty of jobs.
So guys lets just stay reasonable. Remember.... Nobody forces you to write something on these threads, so at least pretent that you have better things to do with your life.

As khnzore asked:
"What is the best way to prepare for this quiz? Can anyone recommend a specific book, or study material?"
Any recommendations for study material or Questons that you may remember would be appreciated
Cheers,

I am trying to apply through QR website but no luck...It doesn't show any openings available when I sign in,or when I do a jobsearch.
Am I doing something wrong or is their website down?
Any replies are appreciated.

Gents,
I did the Singapore interview and then went to Doha for the sim. I was told everything was very good.
Since then....the sound of silence....no reply to my email query.
Has anybody else gone through the motions?
How long before they send out results?
Regardless of an offer or not, it would be nice to know.
Best of luck to all job seekers out there.
