What position did u apply for ? Yeah plenty of time to prepare, thats for sure

00028EC 1st Oct 2013 14:53

Winterinhell, are you type Rated or not? 4 months to prepare is a huge time!!

winterinhell 1st Oct 2013 16:03

im 330 rated and applied for 330FO..but i guess wont matter as the interview stated FO only without any type mentioned..and as what ive learned u will be assigned to any fleet they want on ur DOJ..yeah 4 months is a lot..last 2 years they only gave me 1month to prepare..mayb this time more ppl applied so the queue is quite long..i dont know..and with the new apt test on day one..hurm..this may gets tougher i think..

from BG2CT 1st Oct 2013 16:19

Oh okay, i see .. Its a very interesting situation as by January next year there will be F/O's and S/O's waiting in the talent pool from 1 and a half - 2 years ... They are continuously still calling people... Good luck mate

winterinhell 1st Oct 2013 16:28

thanks bro..anyway i just hope to make it this time..as they wont let me know where did i screwd up on my last interview..and looking at how many candidates they have right now even if im successful in the interview i may need to wait another year or so for my DOJ..lotsa things can change by then..

PATS TEST PLEASE
 
Still searching for any information on PATS test.
Can anyone in this wide world shed some light on this subject.
Please PM With details.
Much appreciated.

cosmiccomet 3rd Oct 2013 14:48

You can try this website, Future Aptitude Screening Tool
The on line test is pretty similar to the one taken in DOH.

mmorel 3rd Oct 2013 22:29

is it possible to get sub loaded first class ticket on qatar airways or it's only economy and business class?

salamalikum2 4th Oct 2013 00:45

Yes mmorel it's possible ,for Captain, not first officer.

mmorel 4th Oct 2013 05:54

but I think they only can ger id90 business and economic.
here is the link:
Qatar Airways pilot jobs, payscales and entry requirements.

Flyingmachine01 4th Oct 2013 07:36

Thank you.

salamalikum2 4th Oct 2013 07:49

This link is not very accurated.

As a captain you are entitled to purchase an ID90 first class.

Mr.White 5th Oct 2013 02:44

Hi there!

I have just been accepted into QR for DEC and my biggest concern is the housing because I see that the prices are very high and if you do not get the housing allowance we will have a poor quality of life.

In my case I am married and I have 3 children (only one goes to school) so I think we need a minimum of one apartment or villa with 3 bedrooms

With current rental rates DOH What can I get with 12000? and 15000? appreciate any information you give me specific compound to search online information

In the case of rejecting the job offer, what is the policy of QR? if within 12 months would accept the proposed work would have to go back through the process of selection?

Please feel free to give me an advice, recommendation on DOH, QR, housing, Scools, etc.. very grateful for your time

Best Regards,

Mr.White

I recently rejected an offer from Qatar as I got a job working for a carrier in Dubai, waiting for the offer from Qatar. The email I got back was surprising. It said thank you for you honesty and if you are ever interested in working for Qatar in the future just email us. So not exactly sure if they chuck you out the holding pool if you reject the offer!

alert100 5th Oct 2013 15:29

Very confused
 
Hi to all.

I’ve been through their selection process in Doha about 2 weeks ago.
Next day, before I even arrive home I received an email stating that i successfully passed the selection process.

About a week later, I received another email saying that after careful consideration they regret to inform me that they have been unable to obtain approval for my hiring process.

I emailed back asking for clarifications but the only said that they cannot discuss the reasons for their decision.

Anyone had this before? What do they mean by approval? By who?

My application was for DEC A320 and I meet all there requirements as I have 6000+ PIC on A320 and 12000+ total airline time with a UK licence and EU passport.

Any info would be appreciated.

Regards

hawk99 6th Oct 2013 08:17

Well thats bad. I can understand how you are feeling. There were quite some guys who were waiting since early / mid 2012 in the pool after receiving confirmation mail. And 3-4 months back received the same mail as yours that they are no longer required. Indeed very sad. But im sure something better will come for you. U can apply after some time. Tc

salamalikum2 6th Oct 2013 11:04

Try Etihad..:)

Black Pudding 6th Oct 2013 22:44

You have nothing to worry about. Its not like that here at all.

salamalikum2 7th Oct 2013 03:42

" you have nothing to worry about":rolleyes:

Well...be careful..just make sure you don't any mortgage in local bank here.
Indeed they won't let you out (not Qatar airways but the local authority)in case you resign or got terminated and have some big debt left behind...interesting scenario...: no Job, no revenue and stuck in Doha with debt..it happens before.So just make sure you pay all your "bills""and fines..and think twice before applying for a mortgage from any local bank.
I don't think qatar airways can prevent you from leaving the company,although I knew a few case where the company refused the resignation of the pilot in first instance..but I don't think its in their interest to keep a pilot who doesn't want to work for the company.:ouch:

And honestly and after so many years I still haven't got the meaning of this exit (or multi exit) permit. At the end of the day they can always block you at the airport,if they have to,even if you have an exit permit or multi exit permit.

SIDS N STARS 7th Oct 2013 04:59

Just wondering what fleet allocation you could expect with 1000 PIC jet greater than 50T but not type rated??

Applied for DEFO NTR.

B-U-S-S 7th Oct 2013 06:59

Depends on operational requirement at DOJ, but expect A320.

baobab72 7th Oct 2013 21:07

Apply for Qatar Executive jet, they'll take you with your experience on CL605

Bizjet to airline
 
Hi global
Thanks for your concern, however i was aiming at the main line.

Baobab72

casablanca 8th Oct 2013 03:45

@baobab72
I am not sure what the published minimums are but that sounds pretty competitive.
All I see on the website is position for type rated First officers....this does tend to change periodically but other than the time on type you have the basic requirements.

baobab72 8th Oct 2013 06:47

Bizjet to airline
 
So casablanca would you recommend applying then? Even though i have not time on type on the airbus family? Would they keep my application on file or it is just a waste of time since i do not meet the requirements at the present time?

Everything is possible, so apply ! I have met flying instructors with hours on a seneca applied for fast track SO position and got the 330. You wont lose anything , apply and see what will happen.

Good luck

casablanca 8th Oct 2013 11:27

I think you will find that if you are not typed on one of the 3 airplanes they are hiring for; then you may not be able to submit the on line application....but it is worth a try. I think Qr and executive are more separated now than before but when I interviewed there was someone who had applied for the executive side and was interviewed for mainline.

vinouche33 10th Oct 2013 07:56

Hi guys,

I was wondering if it's possible to write them an email to ask about our situation ? I mean something like " Hello, when can I expect to join you ? " " Am I still in the holding pool because I didn't receive any update ?? " :eek:


thank you :cool:

alphabravolima 10th Oct 2013 13:48

education expenses
 
Hi ,
does qatar airways pay for university educations for children below 21 years old ?Do they have to study in qatar or can they study in other country?

hamd 11th Oct 2013 03:36

Selection process
 
Hi guys,

Seems interview process has started again in full swing, know a few guys who have got invitations, i myself have got it for next month.
Im 3500TT with 320 and current on 330, any idea what fleet to expect?

any info about what sims they use during selection would be much appreciated

cheers:ok:

casablanca 11th Oct 2013 04:51

Re: education expenses.
For flight deck crews children under 21 are covered. The allowance is 50,000 Rial for one child, but if you have more than one it is 35000 or approx 10k in USD per each.
The child can go to school anywhere...I have one in university in the USA and it is covered.

@ HAMD......while they don't seem to have any exact formula I would say it is most likely to start on the 330 as you are current, and have relatively high experience. There has been talk of making the 320 the entry ac for everyone, but I really don't see this being feasible as there is so much training going on and that would create even more fleet transferring.
While life is considerably better on 777 followed by 330, the 320 offers the quickest route to command which is something.

hamd 11th Oct 2013 07:04

@casablaanca

Thanks for the update...I really would want to stick on 330, fingers crossed.
the news was that they are starting getting deliveries of 380's by march'14...is there any movement on that front?

Flyboy41 12th Oct 2013 10:59

Hi. Does anyone know which simulators are being used for the selection these days? Thanks

hamd 12th Oct 2013 16:54

wow!! so do they try to give bus drivers 320/30 and boeing guys 777 or its just whatever is available at the moment:rolleyes:? any idea about the exercises?

Intruder One 12th Oct 2013 18:59

Just a question after reading several pages of post......its seems the hiring process is quite long and involved.I saw on their website I think they will take you 1 year out of currency.(not working)

They offered me a interview about 3 months from now which I will be close to my year.Is that not going to be a problem to get me in class before my currency expires?

You would think they would be aware of this..........is this not a problem???

upwhereIbelong 13th Oct 2013 09:59

......
 
Myself coming from Executive ,was hired F/o 320.
Expect strict Sop's and a tough Linetraining.
Once passed this ,enjoy the ride ,and so far its very nice .
Despite all this written here.Theres always 2 sides and 2 Opinions,so one gotta think outside the Box .
One is here to drive ,not to manage .once u realize that u will be fine.
