It was a very easy going interview.
It lasted about 45 min to an hour.
I went in as an FO.
First you fill in an application while you wait for your turn and while they have a look at your logbooks.
Once in the room, you are met with 2 pilots and an HR person.
General talk about the company, plans, etc..
Then they each ask you questions.
Some tech questions. Very brief answers, no details.
(Mine were about Equipt Cooling/RVSM/LVP/Stabilized Approach)
Some general questions.
(Why Gulf Air ? How do you think you are going to adapt to the Middle East living ?, Tell us about yourself from your first flight til today. etc...)
No sim/No written quizz. Very short and sweet..
Overall a very straightforward and non confrontational interview.

They will probably hire you if you show up. They are very short and in need of crews.
You shouldn't have any problems. They have hired some Dic--Heads but they are gone !!!
If you want a job you got it.....

Welcome to Gulf Air/Traveller....

737-700pilot : Be patient! It will take between 2 weeks to 2 months. A friend of mine had to wait 1 month before he received a e-mail for the interview! They have more than 2000 applications! including yours

The sniper system is very complex.......but it works if you meet the requierements if not

Why do you state "non-rated" interview?

Is there a different interview process if you are rated? Just curious that's all.

Experience Level

Hey Picobello...thanks for all the info. Do you work for GF. I was reading some of the responses from people that that got interviews with GF. Alot of them have heavy turbo-prop time. Are they looking for guys with relatively low experience or guys with high time. Their web page shows pretty low experience required. Is that a base line or are they concentrating on guy's with high time first. Because I have about 7000hours and typed previous on A340/A320......Cheers any info would be great. I hope we all get interviewed........best of luck to all.

Can't remember exactly of a few other guys, but I know one or two guys from my interview group who got hired with Beech 1900 hours, so I guess you can never be too far off.

Good luck and see ya in the desert soon.

I just don't get it.
I answered yes to all the questions about hours on A/C with over 12500 kgs and I still got an answer that I'm not qualified.
What the heck are they looking for, pilots with no experience with jet/heavy A/C?

Gulf Air hours when joining

Would any of the A320 FO's who started with GF in the last year give an idea about the hours needed to be succesfull as not type rated pilot with GF.

So, with what kind of hours do you get an invite from GF.

Thanks JB
