Well we should hear soon... Hope to see all of you in Doha!!!:ok:
|
yes there is a serious back log of people in the works.. QA has been in a constant state of hire for at least 6 or 7 years now as I recall.
Some of the recent problems are due to the termination or re-designation of the former staff members that used to look after this department ( not very well either). but also keep in mind, not only do the reservations and coordinations have to be done for your interview, but you must also have a visa to enter this country, and that also causes a paper shuffle delay.. among may other things. not to mention that accommodations in hotel can be very difficult during times of large sporting events, conventions and the like.. there are only so many hotels in the desert village you know.

Qatar facts, questions
Hi guys, thank you for all the support and help here, I am being hired by Qatar Airways, and personally it is the best that professionally can happen to me right now.:ok:
Same questions that will help me and otters: Can you buy a decent car with the 1500QR allowance or you need to put money on top? How is it, they give you the cash or goes to the payments?Will be a good idea to send your own car there and save the money?It is possible? How long is training? They continue to hire DEC, so why upgrade time is 5 years?or is less? I got the 320, how long before you can change the fleet? How much you make the first year,(FO 320) excluding housing and car allowance? 42 days vacation, can you take it all together?Will they give you the days for real or just pay you and tell you "we are understaffed and need you" Should I take everything that I can with me or the houses they give you are really furnished? How many days between you joining date, I guess arriving Doha, and training beginning? Free transportation for one week. How you get transportation after that when you are broke like I am, no savings, zero, nada.? Thank youuuuuuuu |
You must have been pretty desperate for a job, since you obviously didn't ask any questions before signing on the dotted line:bored: Good luck at the goat:)

I hope everyone who are waiting get replied from them.......including me....:hmm:
|
Just trying to keep this post alive. Has anyone else been called? Will they send "thanks, but no thanks" emails to the unsuccessful applicants? I'm coming up on a week before my first choice and about a week and a half from my second choice.

Believe me ......will prob find out 1-3 days before our dates.... I think QR does this.. They are very swamped in recruitment.

widebody300er:
they will give you more notice than that, they may not be able to honor your requested interview date, but if you were told you'll have a interview then it will be done.. sooner or later. it is a continuing process, I see new hires / new faces on a daily basis in the training center either for evals, or courses. as I have said many time QA has been hiring a steady stream of pilots for many many years now. the urgency has not changed, when the A330 first arrived it was even worse than this. and 1 came every month for 32 month, not to mention more than 25 A320, 321 and 319's at the same time.. then came the A346's. so having said that.. these 12 B777 we'll have by the end of the year ( and 5 more A320's) is standard growth.. so yes you are correct, the hiring department is ALWAY trying to play catch-up with the fleet and route growth.. we need guys, so you'll get the interview in due time. rcl7700: they have been known to send a "Thanx but No thanks" to some, and sometimes you'll here nothing.. there is no good excuse, but you must remember how many guys are being selected / rejected.. granted interviews / denied interviews.. guys that say they will come but in the end never show up ( yes that does happen allot shame to say) the story goes on and on.. your question... "Has anyone else been called?"... yes many. as mentioned in other posts, 4 courses per month 2 for the Airbus and 2 for the Boeing.. all with at least 6 to 12 candidates in each course..

Hello. Well, I meant if anyone else had been called of the people who are waiting for a call and are participating in this post, but thanks, all info is welcome at this time. I never thought I would be contacted without an Airbus TR, but after talking to a friend who is currently working there my hopes went up. He speaks very highly of the airline and work environment. Hope to hear from them soon.

OK understood rcl7700
QA only has a select few to do interviews, and they are busy!!! some who conduct interviews are our instructions and some experienced line pilots, so it goes without saying.. we are all VERY busy taking our aircraft from one place to another.. this can sometimes make it difficult to set up interview teams, but the job gets done, be patient as you can.. things will not change here that fast.. I don't like to keep saying the same thing over and over.. but it has been like this for many years here.. we always have been short of pilots. all due to the constant expansion of fleets, expansion of destinations, and not nice to mention, but yes also many termination / resignations as well. this place is not for the faint of heart.. not for everyone.. but in this day of global financial crisis, for some at least it's a job.

About SIN
Hello Captain,
Just a quick question. Any chance you could give a hint about how or what I should expect in the coming up assessment in SIN, I will be assisting but they didn't mention any specific aircraft nor simulator. I imagine the tests will be about general aviation subjects right?... And It will include any simulator?... If you pass everything usually how long takes it to contact you again? Thank very much for your time. Wayra. |
Thanks Capt Krunch. We shall wait.

SNAM
the web page .... well, thats not my department.. but I can say this, QA is hiring on ALL fleets, some have more present priority over others. At present we have pilots in training on the A320 and B777, also hearing some new joiners going on the A300-600.. and we all thought it would have been phased out by know:rolleyes:.. but then again the A300-600 info is not yet confirmed. as far as the meal allowance, well it is based on the individual layover, every destination differs, meal allowances are calculated from the hotels room service menu with discounts applied. personally, I don't bother with it. I normally eat elsewhere. if I do choose to dine in the Hotel.. by the time I eat a meal have many a delicious refreshment the entire allowance is spent on 1 meal.. so.. in the end, it's enough to keep you from starving if thats what you want to know.

Qatar Feb screening?
Hi guyz,
Anyone got any reply from Qatar regarding Feb screenings yet? |
Nop, I am waiting too.
|
Nothing. We're kind of stepping on/duplicating the post below.
rcl |
Excuse me to whine about this again, but two weeks ago I filled in the 8 pages application and had to give preferential dates for the 3rd until the 6th of February. I haven't heard from them ever since and as I write it's already the 3rd in Doha. Does this mean I should loose all hopes? Should I try to apply again later or is it too optimistic to think that they will call/email in the future. I'm very low-houred (minimum requirements met), but I fly world wide on Falcon 900's. Perhaps they don't really look for biz-jet pilots. Anybody with the same issue here?
|
Probably they are given preference to B777 fleet.I think they need B777 crew urgently.
But its only read the posts, they need pilots in all fleets. I am in same sitatuation... Bye! |
coldplayer
the only reason why there are so many people these days on the forum asking about dates, is because there are so many people world wide out of work.. no other reason, QA has always been in the same state of hire for many year. the global situation is the only thing that changed. yes QA has received a new fleet recently, that does require some particularly experienced pilots, but then again it was the same when the A330's first came to this airline.. and so it goes, on and on.. Poisoned by Compromise Krunch |
Well maybe are dates will change since some dates have come and gone and nobody has heard much.
It’s very cold here in Canada and a trip to Doha would be nice!!! For 2 reasons 1 would like to get the opportunity to fly for QR and #2 get the hell out of this cold weather!!:ugh: My dates are Feb 18th and 22nd . Good Luck to All, Widebody300er |
Someone in the other thread said he got the call and the tickets...
|
I am 767 typed with about 5000 total. I applied for 777 F/O
|
Widebody:
you'll have no problem getting the 777 provided you get thru the screening, must be tough in Canada as there has been a few Canadians thru the training center in the past few weeks, as well as many other nationalities, but its the western style english that makes the North Americans stand out a bit more ( U.S. / & Canada).. remember english is not the first language of most of the people you'll meet, so be clear and no slang, use proper english when you speak to anyone. EPR: No i cannot give you any layover info.. as I mentioned it varies from layover to layover.. I.E. Bangledesh is just a couple of dollars for the whole day.. whereas those who fly to Moscow would be more than 10 times that amount. either way.. it's not very much and not even worth talking about. we get our salary monthly at the end of every month.. all allowences included.

Knockout
If you are applying for F/O do not forget to work out very hard, seems that martial arts are now a requirement in QR , have you heard about the abusive and arrogant captain that was Knocked out by a F/O, because he was mistreated by the captain during a flight????
|
Capt Krunch,
It is very tough in Canada jobs now are hard to come by for sure. Well my date for Doha I chose is Feb 22nd however I’ve haven’t heard anything from them and yes I know they are busy but I’m beginning to wonder if they might push these dates to a later time since some have come and gone and nobody has really heard anything. For QR would be a good fit I’m ready for a change and have no kids and I’m not married so I’m looking for a challenge. Thank you for all your insight on the company and the language. Cheers, Widebody |
I got an email where they where withdrawing my interview sim assessment offer. But it was not signed to me, it was in a completely different name and sent to me! Anyone have similar experience?
|
shame, well this can happen sometimes. it's just finger trouble on behalf of the clerk who sent the email.
just send it back and inform them of the error. not very professional on the part of QA. but, errors can happen Poisoned by compromise krunch |
Thanks everybody for posting, esp. Krunch for providing some insight into the QR operation.
I'm in the same boat, low time jet, not typed, got the mail in early January to select dates and flights for screening in February. Nothing but silence ever since. I guess we all need to be patient and keep up the hopes. They seem to have one aircraft per month joining the fleet, so crew will be needed. Maybe they are just delaying everything due to the worldwide economic crisis. Just one of many possible explanations I guess. Keeping the fingers crossed. |
Guys / Girls:
if your getting close to a previously agreed date with QA, it really wont hurt to send a email, a query of sorts, politely asking of your current standing within the interview process. now don't bother to do this if you just filled out the on-line application ( even upon request ) and have heard nothing.. then that department will be overwhelmed with emails and the responses will be little to none.

Still waiting...
Has anyone got any positive reply from QA in last 2-3 weeks regarding screenings in Feb?
Thnx |

Dear Collegues, I would like to know how much is the salary for a B777 FO without overtime, housing allowances and perdiem. Pocket money only.
Thanks.:ok::ok::ok: |
Are the school fees paid regardless of where the children are? My scenario would be to stay in Qatar for a year, then have my wife and 2 children join me when I'm settled in. One of my children already attends a private school in the UK.
