Agreed with posts above. NEVER make a move unless your family is bought in and visits the location first before any decision is made. Try before you buy!

For Tremit
Tremit:
The intial training is good but really tight, and it depends if you need a full type rating or just a conversion course. If your family have a europian passport they can join you within few days on visit visa, but if you want them to wait until they get their resident visa then it might take up to six weeks. |
To Southpole.
Very well done to u, hope u've passed and thanks for the detailed overview of the selection process. Have a question, what is "Ace" u referred to? Cheers mate! |
Essential Study Material...
'ACE The Technical Pilot Interview'
2nd Edition Gary Bristow available at Amazon Online |
We would like to inform you that the vacancy,
Non Type Rated Captain B787 | Qatar Airways | Doha, has been placed On Hold due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Does anybody knows more about this???? Unforeseen circumstances? |
Several 777 FOs I have flown with recently were about to start command training and anticipate 787. Maybe there is a swell of FOs that are reaching the upgrade level. I don't know but that would seem a possibility.
Cheers |
Somebody mentioned all upgrades( presumably from 777 fleet) will start on 787.... Haven't heard anything officially, but if this is true May explain the hold on outside DECs
|
Firepushbutton,
Thanks. I will update once I get the response. Yes ACE is a book you can find find pretty anywhere.. It is indeed the one Azzurri mentioned. |
The fact that a large wave of senior FO's approaching their
command upgrade was a "unforeseen circumstance", should indicate to you the level of incompetence that runs this airline. |
New Joiner Boeing F/O's...
Any comments as to which fleet 'new-joiner F/O's' might be assigned in the near term?...
|
We were told that the ones coming from "Boeing" will stay on boeing and there will be no change between Airbus-Boeing pilots anymore, as a "new" company rule... So people with 737 will go on 777. But since I am not in, I cannot confirm it.
|
U
There is no written rule any of us have seen, and noticed a few exceptions here and there, but in general the Boeing rated pilots tend to go to 777, until last few months joining directly on 787.
McDonnell Douglas, B717, MD11 generally can expect Boeing Everyone else seems to be fit into Airbus fleet somewhere. |
NTFO application
Hello, i just applied for the NTFO job at QA 3 weeks ago; was wondering when you receive a first response.
Anyone who just applied receive PSA test to complete? thanks |
Thanks guys.
|
Pay scale
Just wondering if anyone knows the pay for First Officers?
|
What's the difference between an SO and an FO? Are you considered an SO until you are released not having to fly with a safety pilot?
How flexible are they with starting dates once you've made it through the selection? Can you negotiate it or will they offer a "take it or leave it" date? will you have to redo the assessments if too much time passes? thank you very much |
You have one year to join Qatar airways after you get the offer..
|
Hello,
I've had an offer by QR and accepted it. As all you have experienced before, I really worry about the place my family will live in. If you kindly advise any tip to choose the best company housing or to avoid the worst as a fo here and now, it will be highly appreciated. Enthusiast |
emirates has recently open Direct entry Captain A330 position ,Do you guys know if we can change employee from qatar airways to Emirates?
Thanks, |
Sim Assessment
The PNF will most probably be another candidate. They are not particular about check lists and procedures. Just normal handling and some universal procedures.

A320 Capt roster
Hi guys,
Could someone give me an idea of a typical A320 Captain's roster? I expect to be joining as one shortly and would like to make an informed choice. Thanks and happy ldgs. |
Are the Boeing fleets like the 787 still drawing FOs from the internal A320 fleet?
|
ATPL Exam
Hi,
Ive got an assessment coming up in the next few weeks. Im currently looking at the latest pilot jobs stuff, just wondered if anyone knows if the ATPL exam focusses on any particular subjects? Or if the database they use is available anywhere? There are literally thousands of questions to review so don't want to waste time. Many Thanks |
Guys...
I saw a few pictures of the compound's apartments and they didn't draw much of my attention ! What the majority of pilots do ? Take the company accommodation or opt for the allowance and look somewhere else to live ? Any chance I could get a nice 2 or 3 apartment on the Pearl or West bay for 13,000 Qars? By the way, I heard the initial training is pretty intense, is that true ? Anyone has an idea of what's the failure rate ? Cheers |
Failure rate? Do you mean for NTR pilots?
|
Actually, I would like to know if, let's say, any 737 rated pilot was unsuccesfull during his line training on the 787 or 777...
Just as a matter of curiosity ! I heard rumours of guys having a had time during their line training... Cheers |
With respect to 737 pilots having difficulty during line training, if it is in fact true, it would likely be due to the various longer haul trips that could be significantly different from typical 737 flying. Typical 737 flying is good prep for widebody boeing aircraft handling experience but not very helpful for gaining the other necessary multi continent traversing experience.

Quote: The PNF will most probably be another candidate. They are not particular about check lists and procedures. Just normal handling and some universal procedures.
Unless things have changed the pnf will likely be the evaluator / sim operator. |
Exactly WrldWide...
You went right to the point ! You painted the scenario that I'm worried about. On the other hand, I'm pretty confident that this is the kind of difficulty that can be overcomed with some study and, of course, a few sectors. Best regards, :ok: |
Joining Qatar Airways (QR) - all you need to know about it (threads merged)

B787 NTR
Hi Everyone,
I appeared for the QR NTR Captain interview in Nov 2015, and was informed about 3 weeks ago that my application was successful. My Joining date in in October 2015 on the B787. My colleagues who went for their selection in Jan 2015, haven't received any news of their selection. The unsuccessful ones received an email, but the rest (assuming they were selected) haven't heard a word from QR. What I have heard is that there has been a major reshuffle with the HR at QR and all selections, fleet allotments are on hold. Its also said that all pilots applying for the Direct entry NTR B787 jobs will be getting the B777 fleet, provided they have 8000+ hrs. If I get any further info, I shall pass it on. Meanwhile, i really want to know from the pilots who are there if its really a good and "happy" place to work and live for a childless couple in their late 30's?? I have read enough to put me on the back foot, but would still appreciate some other views...the more realistic ones, good or not so good. Cheers. |
|
Do all brand new FOs start at the same grade regardless of fleet type? Thanks.
|
Is it still open ( SO position)?
|
Today I received this mail:
Good afternoon! We are delighted to inform you that you have successfully passed the Qatar Airways Selection process. Unfortunately, due to recent manpower requirement changes, currently we do not have the adequate position to issue a formal offer letter of employment at this time....etc... Anyone knowing what is going on? |
I am curious about wheather or not they´re calling out NTR fo´s with no boeing or airbus experience ? it´s been a month since i have applied and i have got no answer so far.
|
What position did you apply for Southpole?
|
Mr Boombastick,
I applied for type rated A320 captain's position. |
Joining Qatar Airways (QR) - all you need to know about it (threads merged)
I also applied a month ago and just got a mail saying my application is in. That was for the NTR A320. But las night wanted to go on and update my application and it said that my application is being considered and for fairness I can't make any changes. Don't know if that's a good thing or a standard thing.
