Getting Hired at Qatar
What's the trick to getting hired at Qatar Airways? I had an interview last year that seemed to go pretty well. Did the sim check the next day. It wasn't a terrible performance, but was not my best either.
A few weeks later I was told that I was not selected. So, a few months later I tried to re-apply. And, have continued to try for the past year.
I've sent countless resumes and applications. Furthermore, I understand that QR is in need of experienced pilots. With over 12000 hours and close to 9000 command hours, I think I meet the definition of experienced.
So, someone, please tell me what is the trick to getting their attention?
Thanks in advance.

ECAM This....
There are no tricks, I feel you f**cked up your SIM ride as per the SIM Instructor, so based on his report they will never call you again.
More over Qatar Air is getting few chaps from SIA through teir advisor. If you know MdV ex SIA guy than its fine may be you have some chance otherwise forget it baby,,,,,,,,better luck some where else......after all Doha is not the last place on earth to work.

I didn't think the sim ride was THAT bad. Given that I had been enroute to Dubai for 20 hours, and was in a time zone with 11 hours difference from my home, it could have been much worse.
I'd been flying (Left Seat) the A320 for the past several years and had instructed on the machine. And, as mentioned, the Ride was not terrible.
Is it QR policy to "Write Off" any candidates who have previously been interviewed and sim tested?
If so, I'll stop trying. Otherwise, I truly like the company, the country and the people and would enjoy being there.

I never said you have been written off by Qataris............
What I said was what I heard from people working there is that they don't call you for an Interview 2nd time and if you have not heard so far then you may not hear at all from them
Anyway good lucky friend

Easy way to Join QR
Good luck mate.... sad that non pilots have a better say when it comes to recruitment of pilots. Oh Yes.. Parvez and MSF decides even on pilots.... wonder if they know how a/c fly?

i think not
well he certainly isnt going crazy recruiting Indains.
of the 20 odd Indain A320 rated Captians who applied over the last one year,exactly one was selected,and he too left "under a cloud" within a month.
like ECAM this says, some of them had pretty decent check rides on the sim in Dubai.
Most of them do remember to wear thier Uniform Caps when they leave home(and occassionally have their shoes polished too)
And considering that these guys practically live and fly in the Middle East (including Doha),that seems a bit odd.
things at QR sure seem to be getting "curiouser and curiouser"

If i was you; i would try Capt. Siddiqi directly! a very nice man or Capt.Nassim, ask to speak with Azra and then find your way to these two gentlemen.
they are both very understanding. I honestly don't think Parvez has a saying for pilot recruitment
cheers mate!

I've received an email from Qatar Airways in response to my application saying that I've been shortlisted.
Does anyone know if that is the standard response or if it's the reality? How long should I expect to wait until they will contact me?
Thanks for any info. Dirtbiker.
