Open day
 

Hi guys
Applied 6months ago,no response l wonder why because l have 4100TT and most of it on B732.:ugh:
Is there any benefit at all attending open day in terms of expediting the application process.

Gdukkoq,
I know some people waiting for their contracts for long time.
Just wondering if I should phone them.
Take care

Of course you can call, email, fax, mail, send flowers... They will tell you "processing" but unless you talk to the person who got your file on his desk, you will never know if there is a hold due to a missing document. It was my case, and they never told me. Until a friend from QR went there and look at my file. I lost at least 3 months in the process because of that.

Thanks, Gdukkoq

Who is that friend? May he can look for mine too? :*

If I waited that long before asking him, is because I don't want to bother him. Sorry mate but either you are lucky and all steps are 4 weeks apart, or you wait unless you know someone to Check your file directly. Waiting can take very very long.

Back to grinding my teeth! :}

February
 

Well we are all waiting I guess ! In a week it will be 2 months for me...its frustrating like hell to do not know what's going on, and this is only a starter, an apetizer. Any one received any good news yesterday or even today ?

.....
 

Executive only typerated pilots!
Well first you need to pass , then be happy getting a reply of result. Then u may lucky to get the other stuff. I would say approx 8-10 months.
Interview very very fair!
Good luck

Executive only typerated pilots.....

This is not true, they sending pilot to Canada to do type rating on CL605, and they are x-falcon 100/2000 pilots.

good luck

Well this is was we were told january! Maybe changed

What to expect in the interview
 

I am going on my 1st interview with QA on Sunday for a flight attendant position an i am completely lost. Anything i am suppose to know? anything i can study? any suggestions? what are they looking for? what kinda questions do they ask in this initial interview?
i need this job. Please i need some advice on what to do? how to ace this interview

They look for substantial business/corporate aircraft experience, that's more important than the type rated, that's what I was told.

....
 

Im anyway more interested in the mainline. But its again like everywherein bizav no captain no worth !

unprettyangel

Try cabin crew wannabe forum. You should get more answers there.

Hiring process
 

For those of you waiting a response from QR about your inteview or hiring process, be aware that Qatar has been, and still is, in Madrid screening pretty much all the Spanair pilots who have recetly applied s few weeks ago. They are conducting the entire selection process here, written+interview+sim. They are getting as many A320 CPTs and FOs as they can.

Just be patient. Your time will come soon.

In that case, i give up. There might be a huge demand for pilots overthere but it is still limited.

Good luck to everyone.

Inner,
Looks like I was right a few weeks ago when I talked about special treatment for Spanair pilots. It happened the same a few years back when AirMadrid ceased ops.

Just hope this doesn't delay my contract.
Take care

Good thing to have more Spanish pilots coming, they are always fun to fly with.

A lot of those Spanair pilots will go to Vueling.

Captain.Weird.
That is for sure. They are being interviewed. Some already started.

Hi,

I´m spanish pilot, I´ve recieved an email from HR Recruiter asking for my last logbook 3 pages. I have 1.000 plus jet hours, A320 type rating BUT no experience on type. Maybe they will call me for the interview here in Madrid. I´m from Madrid and recieved the email at 08:05 this morning.

thanks

To samca
 

If you have 1000 jet you'll be called for sure...
Good Luck!

Spanair had 24 x a320 series(?). Thats about 300 rated pilots they can pick from (ballpark figure) :bored:

I guess they have there hands full with those rated Spanish guys at the moment.....

:(

How sure are you of that rumour?
Why would Qatar still invite non rated people like myself for interviews. I have not been to Doha yet. The training department is very busy I know, but it still cost Qatar money to fly people over and book them in hotels.

Regarding the references. Would Qatar contact my employer or do I have to ask my boss for one. It will not be good for our relationship if they know I am going for a interview somewhere else.

Mary999

I don't believe it

iQatar

I dont think they ask for a ref until they offer you a job ?

Mary999

Check your sources. I know several non type rated pilots going for interviews as we speak!

..
 

Everybody get crazy, panic?
Its always like that , but ob first occassion that spanair comes back they will leave back to espana!
Job Nomads , like most of US guys.
Ok, ready for my beating..round one..bing!
Just my 50 cents!

By the way now 6 weeks or so no answer,i call it now , not nice anymore?!

Guys, a quick question, are there people who transferred from the cabin to the cockpit? So the people who had their flight licences, hired as a cabin and later made it into the cockpit?

Plus, is the 330/340 a mixed fleet? So if a pilot is allowed to fly the A330 and A340, will he/she fly the A330 and A340 at the same time or is it, just one?

There's no mixed fleet flying in QR.

In any case there are not many 340s, less than 4 I think, and it only flies to LHR and CDG, and in a 330 you'll probably be heading there anyway, so need to worry about missing out on routes.

7 weeks now aft Interview in Doha for FO.

Any news Guys ,I know youre out there checking this Page 3 times a Day ....:}

Mate,

Did the interview on the 15 of Jan, still waiting...:ugh:
Good luck to everyone....

To all,

I have been reading all the posts. I have to admit that all opinions cover the whole spectrum of being very happy to wanting to leave yestreday. I am scheduled for an interview in April however I have to admit that I am very hesitant to proceed. However, at the same time, I know that base on the expansion forecast at QR, now is the time to apply.

I have over 8000 hrs TT of which approximately 5000 hrs as PIC on aircraft > 80T. I understand that the fleet assignment is mostly random however considering my background, would they consider me for something bigger then A320?

Regards,

Bandit07

If you are 320 rated you will be offer that airplane unless you have widebody experience which might help you to get on the B777 or A330, otherwise...... nevertheless you can ask for A330 or B777 and will see what happen, even B787.

All the best.

Sephore,

I am not type rated on A320. My rating is on A310.

Bandit07

Bandit....they have A300 too,cargo side.they could offer u that too.

Bandit,

Tell them you will take the 787 or NOTHING!!!!! :}:=:cool: Joking... Seriously, with your A310 time and likely international experience, you could get a place on the 787 depending on your timing as they are adding 5-6 this year. But I assume many of those slots will be taken - I would guess you would be offered the A330 or 777 given your widebody experience if you are indeed hired. Both would be great too! :D:cool:

Good luck in your process!

He might even get the A300
