Hey boeingcp737 would you please share some info about the online test.

How many test, what about, did you practice or prepare before?

Any info would be great feel free to pm if you like.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
I digress a little from the original thread but cannot find any information through the search tab. I'm considering a job offer from Qatar and wasn't clear on one aspect. How do they support a pilot and his/her family's move to the country? I heard they give a complimentary 150kg allowance on their aircraft or offer a lump sum to make your own arrangements. If true, does anybody know what this lump payment offer is (or if it even exists)?
Frankly speaking for me with wife and a couple of kids 150kg won't get us very far at all!

Thanks in advance

According to their roadshow:

150kg self 150kg wife 50kg per child on QR cargo.
50% of above if on another airline but must be airline cargo and not DHL, FEDEX etc normal freight forwarding (which is not accepted)

When quitting, you get 50kgs more per person I think on the way back.

Thanks APU,

Anybody have any idea of the current housing situation. What are they offering FO's at the moment? I asked during interview and was told it would be an apartment but not much more info than that in terms of location, size etc.

Any info appreciated

Guys i applied for the position boeing typerated F/O a year ago and i failed the psychometric, now im trying to reapply again but there is something wrong with the website it tells me :

and when i go to applications there is no new application opened .

Hello Rodlofo
My status is same as you.Interview schedule pending.Keep in touch.Happy landings

He guys

Quick question how long does it usually take to get a response after the psychometric tests and will it show if you are successful or not

Hi All,
Just a couple of random questions: Can anyone tell me if company provided accommodation in Porto Arabia, The Pearl, comes furnished? If not, is there a furniture allowance? What sort of furniture allowance does QA offer?
Thanks.

Just one more:
I heard QA protects a certain percentage of your income from currency fluctuations. Can anyone comment and/or provide more info about pay and conditions?
Thanks.

Hey folks does anyone know what restrictions there are in terms of joining Qatar Airways from the other boys up the road in the UAE? Is there still a poaching agreement in place?? Thanks.

No poaching agreement, couple of guys have switched and joined QR from there. Go ahead and apply.

Are you sure there is none in place? I heard 1 year/ 6 mnths??? I will apply and see what happens.. Inshallah !!!!

Hold File
 

Hi All,

First post on pprune. Recently went to doha for interview and was put on the hold file few days later. Guy flying 767 got a decemeber joining date.. I am on the NG. Are they favoring 767 guys?

Anyone recently been put on the hold file? The HR guy said they need 600 pilots, but looks like they have been saying that for couple years when you read through here!

Bridge

I went in the hold pool one month ago, also NG, and in the Middle East already. I think it's just sit tight

How many hours have you got? The ones I know with a couple of thousand hours got their start dates this year already.

Well apparently its 12 months wait after you leave EK before you can apply to QR which is a joke really but what to do?? Ridiculous how we cant use free will as humans to work where we want with these pathetic restrictions..

Hold file
 

Hi Apu inop... 4300, 1500 NG

Hi All,

I've been accepted for a 777 slot starting later this year, if anyone has some info for me it'd be great to get some feed back.

I've had a good look at some of the FO rosters and they look quite intense, certainly a lot more than what I previously flew in long haul. Are they as hard as they look? Does it get any better as a captain? (I believe the rostered P1 logs the whole flight?)

I'm quite young still at 35 and my sums show I need to do at least 15 years before I can contemplate retiring. How many guys make it that far? Anecdotally it seems most seem to reach their fill after 8-10 years

NTR FO
 

how long does it take to get the interview invitation since you do the tests??

If I recall correctly, they don't give you a starting day according to time entering the pool,
You get a start date depending on your previous experience and how well you did on the interview. It's not only a pass/no pass, you get graded by the assessors hence why some people get a date shortly after the interview and some have to wait for a year.

Thanks, I guess I have to wait!!

There were sixteen of us few days prior, got the pass two weeks later and joining date 2 months post that. Hope that helps

They're requiring 6 months of the type rating validity before the DOJ. Be careful with it before quitting boyz....

18 months
 

The website says 18 months since last flight on type as long as you have an LPC

Lpc must be valid for more than 6 months when joining

As others have said - be very careful as to meeting their requirements when you decide to put your notice in to your current employer.

Even the joining e-mails are vague in this respect. You need to ask the right questions to the joining team. I am thinking, in particular, of licence currency (LPC - they don't seem to be aware of ATQP in Europe where the IR is signed every 12 months) and release letter from employer (very vague on the e-mails).

Particularly relevant if they give you a start date that is just over your notice period to current employer.

Welcome to the Middle East.

Hi Folks,

may I ask is there any chance for NG rated FO to join Airbus fleet? If yes, what's the bond if any. I'm 3000h TT and 2700h NG.

Thank you.

Hi folks,

Anyone attending interview on sept 25/26th? (If positive, PM me). I've applied in June, made the online psychometric tests an got the invitation few days later. I'm 737NG F/O, 1.400 TT, 1.100 on type.

We could share some study material. I'm basically studying by EASA ATPL summaries and doing a lot of exercises (Latest Pilot Jobs interview gauge and The Airline Pilots.com).

Anyone with troubles dealing with all the paperwork? In advanced candidate site, it's required a "Copy of NOC - Qatar Airways Group Employees". Where can we get it?

Thanks and good luck for you all!

I will receive the personality and cognitive test soon ! want some tips ! how can I pm ! thank you

Tell about you. Why Qr? Normal questions on skype a friend told me.

skype interview ???????
 

hey folks !
i see some of you talking abt the skype interview !
is there a skype interview for pilot screening after finishing the online personality test ????? if yes , is it for SO F/O and captain ? thanks for replying and sharing infos about it !

Practice, practice, before you do the test. Try to get the logic on each one of them. I don't have the links here since I did it on my computer at home, but take the tests' names on the email you've received and google'em. There are plenty of websites with the test explanation, samples and free tests for training.

In the personality test, TELL THE TRUTH about yourself. Don't try to play a character. They'll ask you the same question in different manners along the test, so be consistent.

Good luck.

Hey can you PM me please. Have a few questions.

Anyone else been put on hold file this year and recieved any news?
