Is there any non type F/O that has been waiting for more than 1 year and 6 months after the good news/pass e-mail ?

Non Zero 22nd May 2013 14:35


is there really a need of the customers from worldwide to fly to qatar? I mean, is there really a marketing investigation done to see if there was really a demand?
that's a very good consideration ... luckily some countries don't know how to use condoms yet!

'' Is there any non type F/O that has been waiting for more than 1 year and 6 months after the good news/pass e-mail ? ''


You mean 1 year and 6 months until receiving a contract? Or until the start date? My guess is that almost all swimmers in the pool wait more than 1 year and 6 months until they finally get their ticket to come to Doha.

Talent pool
 
I've been reading the thread and I was wondering what exactly is a "talent pool". Can anyone shed some light on it. :ugh:

I've been reading the thread and I was wondering what exactly is a "talent pool". Can anyone shed some light on it.

The talent pool is where a successful interviewee is placed after having received the "congratulations you have been accepted for employment with Qatar Airways" e-mail...you are placed into the pool until your fleet allocation is completed and you are offered a contract and class date... how long you swim in the pool depends on your qualifications, and training slots available for your fleet allocation...

Airb 23rd May 2013 12:21

thanks ironbutt57. Appreciate!! :ok:

czech85 23rd May 2013 14:05

hmmm so i was thinking of joining qatar under the mpl scheme for the a320.. some people says that the mpl scheme is no gurantee a job. but what is a conditional contract with qatar means?

after completion of the mpl training upon joining qatar, what salary range would i be expecting during the line training??

SIDS N STARS 29th May 2013 00:48

So if QA is now advertising and interviewing type rated F/Os, does this mean the non-type rated F/Os in the talent pool will have to wait until there are no more type rated applicants?

Non rev 29th May 2013 01:09

So why is Qatar accepting applications from type rated Fo's if they have pool filled with applicants?

SIDS N STARS 29th May 2013 06:44

Maybe it's cheaper and quicker for the airline to look outside of the talent pool and hire/train type rated applicants rather than invest time and money on someone with no time on type.

ADAPT - Astonishing Dumb Aviator Piloting Tasks
 
This is SYMBIDIOTICS tool to acess Pilots !

That was the most crazy tool:mad: i ever saw in my life as an Airline Pilot.:eek:

5 secs to answer questions while you flying a game (LOCK ON) mission, as a A10 ThunderBolt pilot(single Crew?lol). While you listen a English old fart talking to you over the radio. The acft can`t be trimmed and you have to look 90 degrees to the left to acess the questions.Why i cannot use the second guy(trainer) as a tool to answer the question while i am flying the game? I am sorry Capt. "RAF" but that was a waste of time.Maybe this could be good to acess a wanna be Cadet Pilot,but to acess real experienced pilots over this is a JOKE.
5 secs to answer question whispered to you while you are gave ~ waypoint vectors ~. Symbidiotics is amazing way to loose money Fast. :ok:Well Done Qataria for wasting 410 Pounds for each applicant current pilot doing Upgrades / fleet transfer. :ok:

My advice 4 an aplicant. Be an Actor!

QR-Villas
 
I know this has been probably done to death here in this forum and otherwise. But sadly, due to some OS glitch I can't access the search tool. Just upgraded to a new OS.
Oh well.
Can anyone give me information on what kind of accomodation QR gives its new joining wide body DEC's. The ones who join with family that is.
And is there any choice given to the pilot as to location etc. what would be a good location choice.
I believe utilities are looked after to a certain degree.
Sorry for the drift if any. But I'm trying very hard to compare EY, EK and QR.
Seems these days it's quite a close match.
Thank you all in advance.
:ok:

King on a wing,
There was a rumor that the company is gone increase the housing allowance...well i guess it was just a rumor unfortunately...as for the trend ,it looks like the the rental price is going up again...so it means lots if us will have to put our hands deeply in our pocket in order to offer a decent roof to our family.:hmm:
I don't really think there is a close match between EK and QR...:=
You can't compare EK vs QR...(as you can't compare Dubai and Doha:hmm:).

King on a Wing 30th May 2013 14:55

Java,
Many thanks for your candid response. Really appreciate that. Is Pink villas and Ain Khalid the only choices available to captains. Had heard something about some Al Markhiya villas...?
And most importantly Java, is this updated info sir. Just so that I can plan if I have to.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you salamalikum2 for your input.

free capt 30th May 2013 15:53

hi java,
thanks for the infoes and i'would like to have some clarifications

1 can you (as a DEC ) choose to have allowance or house ??
2 can you choose where....??
3 can you ,during years, change option as you need (from allowance to house)???

appreciate if you can answer...:ok:

tks

casablanca 30th May 2013 19:27

You can request to move out of housing and take the allowance....it may take a month or two.
You can request a transfer to other housing....have had many friends transfer from Pink Villas to Holiday Villas...or Holiday Villas to Ain Khalid.
That normally takes a month or two.....there are other places but have heard the wait is 1-2 years?
Once you leave the company housing I don't believe you can return

I have the impression that the goal,of emirates and qatar is just to be the biggest and profitnumbers are not an issue.
I think you miss the point. DOH, as a destination, is not that big for QR. Basically, DOH is really just a transfer point. I can't tell for sure, but I'd guess that at least 90% of the pax are going through DOH, not to DOH. DOH is very nicely placed to be a hub, and that is also the focus of QR.

Plenty of information that has been posted ad-nausem about basically the same questions on this thread. Search the thread will reveal all!

Good luck.

ManFlex56 8th Jun 2013 08:08

Can I know what your experience levels are?
I was thinking o apply as well

SIDS N STARS 10th Jun 2013 11:08

What difference does it make what level of experience other applicants have?

They're only accepting type rated applicants at the moment, so if you meet the requirements outlined in the advertisement, put in an application. I can guarantee, you won't be considered for an interview unless you put an application in.

Has anyone else received an email from recruitment asking for an application update due to being in the talent pool for a rather long time?? Does this mean anything, or is it just a general update?

I wouldn't imagine there would be too many type rated F/O's in the world willing to move to the middle east to do the same job they're currently doing, with less seniority and a longer wait for a command !!

Hopefully the guys in the pool will hear something soon

cccc 10th Jun 2013 14:33

Recruiting type-rated FO's
 
When you look at their website, career site...
QR is hiring type-rated FO's on all their fleet.
Does anybody know what this mean for all the people in the pool who are not type-rated? Will they jump in front of the queue as it happened in the past with Spanair and Tunisair guys/girls? Or will they be placed in the pool and wait till their time comes up AFTER the current pool has been emptied?
Cheers to all us swimmers.
cccc

Also in Spain there are cadet ready for next year...

disagreeable 12th Jun 2013 01:14

Simply put, why would they be setting up a cadet program with apparently sooooooo many awesome people in the talent pool?

They realise that they cant keep pilots, especially when the worlds economy's start to produce confidence.
Cadets can be locked in for long periods, are naive enough/or desperate enough to pay big money to be trained without guarantee of a job. And this helps QR keep the perceived competition high, the perceived illusion of 5 star airline equals five star treatment of staff etc. wrong.

If you have been waiting for more than 18months then chances are your not being considered. The way i see it, is bet on the rest of your life, not on waiting for QR to give you some kind of freedom/career! Wasting your life waiting.

Good luck to ya

Hey disagreeable,
What's your story? Why so down and "disagreeable" on Qatar Airways? I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just curious.
