hairyA320 try the site: Human Performance Company & Training Design Specialist. Is the official site of the company which has created the test. Good luck. give me some infos about your invitation for interview: when did you apply, which position, your experience.....

hairyA320 26th Mar 2013 12:33

Thanks, will give it a look.

Max Stryker 27th Mar 2013 09:36

Just a quick question that I would appreciate help with. Is Qatar no longer accepting applications for First Officers due to the size of the holding pool? My account seems to have been deleted (wanted to update) , and I can't find any FO openings on the career site. :sad:

Guam360 27th Mar 2013 12:07

sorry for this seems to be an obvious question maybe... maybe not.
Q3 on the application, it asks do you have a current IR? seriously? is this Instrument rating?

yes it does....you flying 360's on Kwajalean?

Guam360 28th Mar 2013 03:32

Iron,
thx, instrument rating it is then...
no, I am Ca on a 747-400.

loved the Shorts though!! first love..

patrickmehta 28th Mar 2013 10:09

Hi all.. Request a bit of info. Does anyone know if QR has any non poaching agreements with other airlines? It means that if you are from X airline and you want to join QR you cant! Its going around... For eg Emirates and Indigo pilots cant join QR.
Is this just a rumour? And even if its true do you guys think if a pilot who has a joining date with QR, leaves such an airline, serves the whole notice period, gets the NOC (No Objection Certificate) and reports to QR to join that QR will still decline them????
A friend of mine is in such a predicament..
Any thoughts on this??

ironbutt57 28th Mar 2013 11:46

Yah flew it myself 3 decades ago, the "Irish Concorde" anyway you slice it, it comes out square.....

Guam360 28th Mar 2013 17:06

that's right Ironbutt,

"Anyone can fly a round airplane". My crosswind landings are better today because of that plane, LOL !!!

so seriously, does IR mean 'Instrument rating" or 'Instructor rating' or what?

actually I have a bigger fish to fry, but just checking every detail, thx !!

80-87 30th Mar 2013 04:40


does IR mean 'Instrument rating
Yes it does mean Instrument Rating and you receive that after completing a License Skill Test (LST). You will have to complete a type rating course/conversion course to get it.

Guam360 31st Mar 2013 00:08

80-87,
thanks, I guess I don't have it.
I will check NO, thank you for clearing that up.

Iver 31st Mar 2013 00:34

Guam - with your 747 background I am surprised Emirates or that other large UAE airline hasn't picked you up. At QR I would look for a DEC position if I were in your shoes. EK would still be my top choice in the region.

Good luck!

casablanca 31st Mar 2013 04:15

I would have to say you need to click yes to qualify....if you are type rated and captain on 747 you have to have it! An FAA ATP doesn't specifically say IR but that is included and a requirement to hold ATP privileges.

Guam360 31st Mar 2013 12:02

thanks casa,
yes I assumed so. yes, we all have it if we are flying airplanes for a living, but having it on the application questionnaire part and then asking about it here, seemed a bit odd. finally Iver mentioned a LST, which I have no idea what it is. so I must not have it, if it is a GCC thing, or I am missing something.

what have 1000's of pilots done in the past, this cannot be so ambiguous.

80-87 31st Mar 2013 14:54

LST...
 
The LST is the "License Skill Test' for the type that you are applying for in Qatar. The LST is essentially your final sim check after you've completed all of your training.

The LST is conducted by a TRE who is acting on behalf of the QCAA.

casablanca 31st Mar 2013 18:27

As mentioned above..LST is the equivalent of a type rating.

80-87 1st Apr 2013 03:56

LST
 

LST is the equivalent of a type rating
WRONG...The LST is the final check-ride leading to the type rating.

Far777 4th Apr 2013 22:54

FMSPEED 5th Apr 2013 13:23

@FMSPEED
I heard that not until 2014 they need to clean the pool and also many people that is sitting in Doha doing nothing with and without TR, getting salary and house and not flying. But this are only rumors...

visa
 
Hi guys I already have my joining date was wandering if anyone tell me when do you normally receive the visa and joining ticket for me and my wife .

Also once I start training can my wife travel out of qatar after getting her initial tourist visa or does she have to wait for the resident permit under my sponsorship

thanks

chrislikesblue 7th Apr 2013 22:35

Hello speedhold nice to hear your good news! I have no idea about the visa requirements and procedures about bringing your wife,but my feeling is that it wont be too complicated. The most complicated thing must be the recruitment procedure. I am trying to understand the logic behind this,what would be the average time frame from initial assessment until someone gets a joining date. When did you do your interview and when you got the DOJ letter?

speedhold 8th Apr 2013 00:23

hi there i interviewed feb 29 2012 pass email two weeks later and then in may 2012 signed and returned the contract . got email in feb for start date in aug 2013 . Its all going very slow I think they are trying clear the backlog.

ryanb5005 8th Apr 2013 02:58

Lecm, are you typed?

freddi16 8th Apr 2013 09:16

Qr
 
Hello any rumors when qr Will resume interview for First Officer?

Cheers

Samolin 8th Apr 2013 11:39

Joining visa
 
Congrats Speedhold... U will get your visa details about 3 or 4 days before travel. When I joined I told my contact at hr that I will need ticket for my wife and son and they processed that right away. If u r coming from a country where they give visa on arrival then it's easy for your family. Otherwise they will need proper visa prior to arrival.
U will have the proper paperwork to come inti Qatar with a work permit but your family will come in as visitors initially and once u receive your residence permit ( 3-4 weeks) you can change there visit visa to a residence visa under your sponsorship.
Hope the info helps.

speedhold 8th Apr 2013 13:56

samolin

thanks for the info . one more question does qatar arrange a ticket from where i live to a qatar network . ie tampa /jfk/doha .or is it only jfk/doha.

cheers

casablanca 8th Apr 2013 14:24

Normally the non Qatar sector must be pre-approved.
In my case I said united is cheapest from Bil-iah.
They will normally have you purchase it and reimburse you.
In my particular case they said don't buy it we have a better fare and sent me eticket from bil-den-iah- doh for whole family.

speedhold 8th Apr 2013 16:44

thanks for the info

DEC A320
 
HI, guys, i submitted my online application as DEC for A320 in late Feb and no response from them until now. Do anyone know how much does it get to receive an email from Qatar HR? :ugh:

Obbie 9th Apr 2013 08:13

Perhaps they have evaluated your english already, and found it to be unacceptable.:E

PAT test?
 
Hi everyone,

I have been invited back to doha to do a PAT assessment. Does anyone have information regarding this test, what exactly it involves?

All i could find on this thread was that it includes psyc test and some one posted a link to a symbioticsltd.com website, that only has a FAST test available. Any links for prep would be nice!

I would appreciate if anyone can shed some light on the test, if it is the same for all positions (i am SO) and how important it really is for new joiners.

Thanks :)
