​​​​​​Its gonna be very difficult to find people who worked at both. I left EK recently, but still have friends at QR and EK.
Salary at QR is better I believe
Lifestyle is better at EK, Dubai has more to offer. My friends rosters in QR were also way more brutal even though EK isn't easy either.
My friends at QR all wished to be in EK, none of the EK guys I know wants to work at QR so that sums it up.

Visa for Parents age 60+

Would like to know how easy/difficult it is to obtain visa for parents above 60 yrs of age. As Qatar don’t include parents as your Immediate family, which is really weird. But what are the chances of securing their long term stay if I sponsor them myself.
TIA

Hello everyone. This forum has been really so helpful . Could anyone enlighten on when do we know what fleet we might be put on. As the position says Airbus type rated FO , its kind of not very clear which fleet they want to hire for.

Is there anybody who can generously give me a glimpse about how the A320 schedule looks like in Qatar?
1. If I actively bid for Europe do I get many layovers in Europe? possibly 4~or more times a month?
2. How long are the stays in the layover station? Is it up to 24hours stay or possibly longer than that in many cases?
3. How many quick turns and layovers can I expect in normal month?
4. In this post some guy said A320 guys fly about 65 hours a month . Is it still true?

I’ve been away from Qatar for 3 years so not really current but there was a poaching agreement for a long time- it went away during the blockade- not sure if it came back?

I was in Qatar up to 3 years ago and involved with recruiting- believe the policy then was ok for tattoos as long as covered by uniform

Maybe. Few of my friends who were Boeing rated didn’t receive any reply even after 3 weeks of the interview in Doha and status still unchanged. Whereas Airbus FOs are getting emails within 7-10 days..
