Hi,

Is it necessary to have an ICAO English proficiency assessment Certificate or does it suffice with just the FAA license where it says English proficient.

thanks in advance

Did you check your status online on applicant portal?

During the interview we had to fill out a form and one of the question that surprised me was "do you currently have a Bond with your current airline", could someone have any ideas on that point? Is this likely to complicate recruitment or would Qatar intend to refund if successful?

Hi,
it shows “Extended” and the offer is there. But I didn’t receive any emails or phone call. And yes, I checked the spam folder. This is strange

Yeah, the official acceptance of the offer is via the portal, not replying to an offer email. They maybe forgot to email, but accept on the portal and the wheels will be in motion. I accepted by replying to the offer email, and two weeks later they called me thinking I wasn't interested, because I hadn't accepted on the portal too!

Thank you for the info.
I accepted it and now it shows “Contract Approval Initiated”. Let’s see what happens next

Quick question for those in the know

Hi all and happy new year to everyone,
I have a question if someone could take the time to answer if you know.
I've applied to Qatar and on my portal it just says
Job status: Active (Accepting Job Submissions)
Application Status Completed - (the date I completed my application)

So I figure this means I'm in the system and just waiting? Is that correct? I'm applying for DEC 787 or 777...
Thanks in advance...

You will take an Aviation English proficiency test in Qatar during ground school. The FAA “English Proficient” endorsement means nothing
🤙🏻

I have done both and if you had no issues in the UAE, then you won’t in Qatar. It’s the same initial medical if not slightly more lenient in Qatar

The first thing you need to do is dispel any notion that you are held in any kind of regard by the airline. After that, remove any expectation of special treatment because you're a captain coming to do them a favour. This will save you a lot of disappointment during your time there and calibrate your expectations to something nearer a realistic level.

That being said, the economy class shown on your ticket is your onload class and the ticket will likely be upgradeable to business on a space available basis.

I had my reply exactly 7 working days after cut off date of test (did tests few days before cut of date). I heard some had to wait for 3 weeks. I guess it depends on where you fit in as regards to fleet/function and urgency.
