I'd appreciate that PM too 666:ok:

Any truth that theres been a management reshuffle?

Administrative management seems to shuffle here quite regularly. Fortunately, the safety teams are intact. At the level of the line pilot we have seen some improvements though there are still areas than require change.

It is entertaining to watch the dynamics of passenger vs cargo operations.

Can I too please get the PM from 666??

I can't believe you took a job while still being this clueless
about what it involves.

Absolute, either you are a total idiot, or you don't give two
****s about your wife and family.

Either way good luck, you are the type that usually has a very
bad time here.

.. Sometimes I think these guys from hireright are asking too much. There must be a "legal" limit.. Next mail they'll send me a mail I am going to ask if they want my credit card number as well. :ugh:

waiting in the hold
 

Hi guys, just recieved the mail saying that I'm in the holding pool. I applied as a non type rated first officer for 787/777.
How long can I expect to swim in the pool?

thanks for your replies.

training slots are completely full next six months, so you can guess.

Hello all,
I had posted this request a while back but it was delayed by pprune because it was my first post. If anyone has any information could you please post or send me a pm. I would appreciate it.

Where can I look at the T& C for A-320 DEC at Qatar? I can not find the specifics anywhere within the Qatar current openings section of their website. I am looking for as much information as possible, travel benefits for pilot and family, annual leave days, medical insurance, company provided housing, salary etc.
Thanks for any information.
Rocky

Can I get the same PM from 666?

thanks in advance

Seems they have started callin up people with narrow body experience, for positions, Boeing type rated first officer, Airbus type rated first officer

ATP license and IR validity
 

Gents,

Anybody familiar with QCAR? Just wanna ask re: requirements for joining,
ATL license and IR validity at least 6 mos?

Does this mean I have to do my Proficiency Check, just before joining? If my license is perpetual (FAA) and IR validity is 12 mos, right? And my proficiency check will expire 2 months after my joining date, can I join QR without doing my Prof check?

Thanks,
Lee

Leemankin, yes that is correct.
You have to have 6 months validity on both your pilot and medical licenses upon joining. So if you need to take your medical again do it. If you need to do your proficiency check again, do it.
Without them you will not be able to join Qatar and HR is very clear and strict about it.

Qatar require 8 months validity on the home medical on joining.

They also require 6 months on the IR on joining - a problem in the modern world of ATQP where most airlines are switching to an IR sign-off every 12 months.

You could have completed a proficiency check last week but if the IR hasn't been signed off for at least another 6 months + then it is not acceptable to Qatar.

You will need to find a suitable examiner and pay for a separate IR sign-off yourself.

I appologize if my question sound stupid....but are we talking bout Intrument Rating when we say (IR) because shouldnt a completed proficiency check cover that? which most if not all companies do that every 6 months

666
 

Hi 666,
would u pm me the same things pls ? those info r really helpful..thanks

Same here please 666..

Re: license & IR validity
 

To foswillrule....and Cuillins....
Thanks so much for the info, gents.
Kind regards,
Lee

Take what I say with a grain of salt.....as I am not current on the joining requirements and am currently drinking a glass of wine on my patio.
If you are coming from the USA with an FAA certificate some things seem to be different....1) it's hard to come with 8 months validity on medical as it is only good for 6 months 2) normally if ATP rated there is not a separate instrument rating as it is part of the ATP 3)the FAA has same currency/recency issues but your aircraft type ratings don't expire, where as some countries it appears if you do not have a valid medical or PC your rating lapses?4) the FAA will not stamp your logbook( maybe employer will but FAA won't......however the CAA will send them a request and get all your records sent to them directly.you can have logbook notarized etc, bring training records, tax records etc, or any alternate means of showing your years in the business.
Qatar seems to understand this, or at least used to! However if possible coming with a current PC is good idea but maybe not as important as some of certificate holder

Sorry for the confusion but in Europe (EASA) airlines are switching to ATQP (Alternative Training & Qualification Program).

Before ATQP, over a 12-month period, you would carry out the following on the sim:

LPC/OPC - OPC - LPC/OPC.

(IR signed every 6 months for 12 month period)

Under full ATQP the 12-month period will be more like this:

LPC/OPC - LOE/TRAINING - LPC/OPC

(IR signed every 12 months for 12 month period)


In other words, the Instrument Rating will only get signed every 12 months - making it much more difficult to meet the Qatari requirement of 6 months plus on the IR at joining date.


A cost will be involved in getting the IR signed (away from current employer) to meet Qatar requirements in the event of the start date offer being poorly timed.

Casablanca,
That's what I was thinkin so maybe it's not necessary after all to get the PC renewed as the License and IR are both valid at least 6mos before joining, since the last PC revalidates IR for 12 mos.

Cuillin,
Thanks for the JAR FCL requisites as I think QCAR is generally based on JAR, well maybe I will have to clarify with HR, if they would accept my license validity as it is before joining.

Great posts gents, really helpful :ok:

No problem. But you've gotta LOVE your pooch to keep him or her happy.
On a lead around a compound, find a bit of wasteland, or trek to a beach for exercise.

Having a pet seems to be quite easy but it will limit your accommodation choices as not all places accept pets. Holiday Villa didn't allow but AKG does.

does anybody knows what the " unforeseen circumstances" are??? Why they don't hire DEC pilots at the moment...

tnx

PayJay,

This is a standard email saying that due to some "unforeseen circumstances" you are in the holding pool instead to be hired directly after passing the selection process. But Qatar Airways is calling DEC from the holding pool at the moment.

Good luck

Ps waiting time vary between 8 to 11 months

Thanks for the prompt answer. All we can do is sit and wait..

greetz,

PayJay

Hi guys,

I applied two months ago today! still waiting patiently and do not mind doing so. I was wondering if people could share their experience of how long they have waited for before getting a call.

Good Morning,
Can someone please tell me what is the waiting time AFTER the security screening has taken place that one will receive a start date?
Thank you.

DarthSidious,

I have no idea about it, but I thought they were giving a start date DURING the security screening, because it just take a lot of time to do it. And how do you know when it is finished?

GL

Talent pool
 

Anybody know when people will be taken from talent pool for rated airbus FOs?

How long have bus rated FOs had to wait previously?

J5 :cool:

SouthPole

Thank you for your reply SouthPole.
I will keep on holding. Still have some fuel available for another hold.

DOJ and docs
 

Hi,

Did anyone get DOJ in December for either 777/787?
Any info about the documents required before going to DOH would be much appreciated.

PS:It looks like QR is a better deal compared to EK right now...

Who knows which is better.

I would say it is horses for courses. You need to speak in person to genuine pilots from both communities to try and figure it out. Any time anyone writes anything remotely positive about EK they are shot down in flames, that doesn't necessarily mean it's not for you. Likewise some people last only 3 months here whilst others I know are very happy.

Try and speak to someone in a similar situation. Same nationality same aged kids etc to try and find a balanced view from all companies you are interested in.

Just to say, 16 days off next month, no leave, 70 hrs logged and 2 days in the sim. Young family and quite happy at the moment. Will it always be like this.....don't count on it, but life has been quite pleasant the last 6 months or so.

Regards

Hi i've done the assesment for the position of non rated fo( at the beginning was for fast tack cpt), one month ago.
Didn't get any answer yet about the outcome of my interview.
I've seen on the qr website that they've removed all the position for non rated
Pilots.
Now what happen?

Freddi16
 

Mate I think u should not worry about it as u have already given the assessment.. Its just that people who hvnt given assessment might have to wait till they clear the holding pool.

Today I got an email stating The vacancy you applied for is currently placed on hold
Thats not fair .... I filed my application about 2.5 months ago for non-rated FO ... and now when I looked at the jobs portal, the non-rated position is removed .... however my application status on my portal is still new ...
What doest it mean ?? does it mean it's canceled ? or it mean I have to wait much longer and swim in the pool ???!!!

Did you do your assessment?? Or you still need to go Doha for assessment
