Friend of a friend that's been there just a little over three years on the A320 is going to 777 class this November but still in the right seat though. Another friend of another friend that's been there just under four years also A320 FO is in upgrade class on the A320. Looks like one wanted the PIC turbine while the other preferred widebody type but still as FO. To each their own.

Depends on requirement, possibly 2-3 years, but then expect another bond.

does anyone have a link to a website where you can see which fleet flies to where?
i found one when i was preparing for my interview but i cant find it anymore
it also had the destinations for the subtyp's (at least 320fam)

@flying apple
 

go to The Qatar Source
click on Qr tracker and then route tracker :ok:

Excuse the thread drift chaps, but is anyone else flying out from the UK next Tuesday (4th) for selection?

So an A320 CA would have to go back to being a WB FO before becoming a WB CA?

I won't be attending, but what position did you apply for?

Have QR started the training of A320 FOs into the 787 yet? Obviously the Boeing delays don't help with training schedules... :mad::}

Bond
 

Anyone knows the bond if you join the A32O fleet with previous experience on it pls?

Out of JFK on 24th for what? Career Fair?

Sept 10th
 

Anyone going on 10th Sept??

I heard that they have more than 300 pilots on the pool, how long will it take to clear this, and, are they hiring as much as before??

thank you

ArmApp, at the moment you'll do a CCQ the bond is 24 months at $30k, you'll pay 50% of it back for the first 12 months (equal deductions from salary) and then after the 24 months get all 100% of it back.

Believe first F/O's from A320 started B787 Course last week
May the farce be with you
Daft Wader
:D

Someone has his DOJ the 16th September?

End of August update
 

I recall some guys were promised to get 'the end of August update'.
Anyone got this update already?

cheers!

Thanks for the 787 update Daft Wader. I am sure those A320 pilots are excited about the new technology and more longhaul flying opportunties. :ok:

About end of Aug update
 

Same promise "end of August update" but nothing yet! Anyone else at the same page!?

Cheers

QR Talent pool
 

News for all pilot in the talent pool.. they will start to call again from feb 2013..:ok:

and who/what is your source Inno?

This is definetely not good news for me Inno. I couldnt afford to wait that long without a job,I have to start looking for one. But how you know that information anyway? did they send you email?

Don't worry guys, they're just overbooked! guys who arrived a few month ago for the 320 won't start their training before november! just be patient!
the good news is that they still need pilots!

End of Aug update
 

Good day all,

Got the same update as Lecm's. Applied for NTSO, passed the selection and been in the pool for approx a month.

Happy waiting to all :)
Cheers.

about the guys who already are there and won't start their training till november

are they getting paid?
and is it possible to do observation flight while you are there?

yes and yes ;)

made redundant Aug 2011, applied Oct 2011
selection 7 Feb 2012
good news march 2012
offer 9 april 2012
holy miles email in June
30th July : email stating that I am placed on talent pool
no news until now.
Still jobless with a 3 kids family.
no valid type rating now

I understand that preference is given to airline experiences rather than mil jets or business aviation.
life is tough.

fingers crossed for 2013. Otherwise I don't know how my family will eat next year ...

please read the previous pages (end of June)

Similar situation, similar dates, only absolutely no news whatsoever since the signing of the offer in may (besides confirmtion of the acceptance). No replies to e-mails either :oh:.

A bit disappointed, at least a little "we know you´re still there, give us two or three more months pls" would make a huge differnce in perception.

Meanwhile refusing less tempting offers, hopefully not regretting it later on. Anyway... Anyone knows if an expired IR is a problem upon joining?

Probably a very stupid thing to ask. But I really want to join Qatar. Problem is in just about to start my pilot training. Think I'll only finish by 2014 (hour building included) any idea of I stand a chance to get into Qatar as a second officer / first to build my way up? Thanks.

Hi lads!
Does any body know how Many days before an interview HHRR notifies You of your flight to Doha ?

I applied a few months ago and arranged the interview for 2nd officer fast track on sept 17th ( 10 days to go) and still without any News of the flight to DOH

Any recommendations ?

Recommendation(for whatever related to Qatar Airways from now..) :
Patience is the key!

They will send you flight+hotel details approx 3-4 days before interview.



All the very best!

Finally got the email of update,im still in the talent pool until end of November when I get a new update. Also that email seemed a bit cold,almost like 'we dont want u here at this time but u can wait if u want or find another job' . Anyone has any information from inside? How long this recruitment holding will last? And the ones who are holding are we expected to start when they tell us to start? Or they could be flexible with the dates?

Did. u get a update today by email ? I didn't get anything

most of the spanair pilots are failing so dont lose hope

Hey guys. Has interviewing also stopped completely for the time being? Or are interviews still taking place?

What is the reason for the slow-down in hiring? There are still loads of A/C on the way for QR.

Best of luck to those waiting on news.

They are still taking place. Slow rate!!

*SOs who are inducted are been kept on hold (line training). Currently chances are given to Capts and FOs.
*lots of pilots who have passed the assessment, have been placed in talent pool.

So the people who are in the company they need to move first and then the talent pool will start clearing. Once the talent pool starts to clear then the recruitment will be again at its peak. Most of the delay is on 320.

As said loads of times--- ***PATIENCE IS THE KEY IN QR***

Thanks for the reply FL123.

Are they taking pilots off the A320 and upgrading them to other aircraft as more airframes pile up? Wonder what A/C the talent pool will head for.

Is there a website or link anywhere as to the delivery schedule of QR??

Cheers !:ok:

yes, most pilots from 320 to 787.
regarding talent pool - it depends on the no of hours and rating for 777. But, low hours get onto 320 or sometimes 330.

You mean the delivery schedule of 787? I dont know if there is any though.

HI everybody, I applied with QR in January 2012 and received a mail from HR in July, I should send them a Paper which states my ATPL subject results.
I uploaded this form into my online application account with QR and since then never heard anything back from HR. For your info: all ATPL Subject have a 80% or higher and passed the first time.

Does anybody know what happens now and how long an invite will take?

Thanks for your post and replies!!!

Hi guys,

One question please: when you update your online application form, do you receive a confirmation email from QR or not? I had a confirmation email when I first applied and after a couple of months I updated the application but did not receive any email to confirm. Is that normal?

cheers.

..
 

as mentioned before it takes time

myself was also asked for this results ,sent them--> took them 4 months to give me then my result of the Interview.
Anyway still have strong believe all will be ok and soon or later they will call us back .

cheers
Up
