Is the 737 really such a short straw? At least there's no bunk factoring.

Knowing how QR operates, of course that would happen. I would not apply to QR expecting to fly a widebody, at least now at the present time.

Hi I have the same question, I was in Doha last weekend and got and email for an online interview, couple you please tel me what is about??

Raph737

Anyone else got an email asking for documentation(that was already uploaded in the application) then couldn’t re-upload it into the system? The application IT system seems really poor and comms very slow, not sure what to think about the time it’s taking. Apparently they are desperate for pilots but can’t process applications timely?!?

That's kind of strange, people usually after the assessment in Doha wait for the positive or negative feedback email.

Are you applied awaiting an interview or have you been hired and in the pool awaiting a course date?
In either case, might a request to update your documents mean progress toward your next step?
You could try emailing to ask them.

Is there any news for Boeing Rated FO? Does they recruit at the moment or everything stopped?

Daniellejdkk

Any Boeing Rated FO being called or heard anything?

Pariott

even airbus are not being called,, i have been waiting in the pool since march

Daniellejdkk

so things are stopped then?

Raph737

Hi mate,
Hope you’re well. I have applied in March for Boeing rated FO. The link in the email to re-upload doesn’t work. The application in itself had a small MB size limit for docs so I obviously reduced size/compressed etc. However it was all tested before submitting. I have emailed them the documents and have emailed again asking if they received it and everything was okay but no response. Not sure if they stopped recruiting, I very much would like to go there but is taking so long, I’m considering other options.
They are losing candidates that way in a very competitive, candidate led market.

Daniellejdkk

I think they stopped all the recruitment, anyone could confirm?

Pariott

as I understood yes they stopped due to internal issues with recruitment and training slots, considering other options

Pariott

just to keep their talent pool full i guess, bcz they are losing lots of candidates due to delayed recruitment

I think they have a sizeable turnover of pilots normally and are expecting a bit of an exodus towards the end of this year early next hence keeping the talent pool full of swimmers. Definitely a few resignations from new joiners her didn't like being switched to the 737 max.

Raph737

One can wonder if taking the bite and siting on the MAX could mean faster command as a right seat driver? Does anyone know what is the current average time to command on the stablished fleets? Certainly in this new one, for those with the experience level, could be faster?! Speculative, obviously.

Skyhawk95

What’s the problem with Indian pilot? Strange if one person has some hours false? Not all are in the same boat

Camel herder

I wonder will they still get the MAX 10s now they've reinstated the 321 neos

LandCruiserFTW

Houndreds of FO have enough hours and are waiting for their call on all fleets. Forget about upgrade in QR. It takes more than 9 years, if you are lucky enough. Regardless of your fleet. Airbus -> Boeing, Boeing -> Airbus transfers, depends solely on company need. Mix fleet is being slowly prepared for those who are on 777 and 787 to maximize efficiency of roster planning and reduce menpower needs, however it’s gonna take time to train all 777 and 787 pilots.

Yes it looks like they have finally seen the light and start upgrading FO's instead of taking these unqualified DEC's. No need to have a fallback pool, there are indeed hundreds of qualified FO's ready to be upgraded.
