The answer is simple belgianconnection: NO.(no commuting in QR...unfortunaltly).

Anyone know the current situation regarding recruitment ? Website allows you to click on flight crew jobs (and states requirements) but no jobs show up to apply for.

Same question as Metro man.

Yes we are hiring, but unless type rated on 777 or A330 expect to join on the 320/300

Hi Fubaliera,

I am type rated and experienced on A320/330/340 from a next door airline, made the "mistake" (pre-recession) to go to Europe a year ago only to realise that I had left job security behind in the ME.

I applied about a month and a half ago, no news yet. Is there a way to follow up an application with an e-mail to someone?

Fubaliera, I am not rated in B777 or A330. Currently rated in B744 as FO.
But I just offered to join in B777 fleet.

Is this just a trick to make people come then they suddenly change it to A320/300 when signing contract or they really need crew in B777 ?

at the website you can only do your profile, other than that tgere are no job listings for the last month at least. should we email HR or just wait till they post something. Pm me with info or just reply here pls ;)

No shortcuts at the moment
 

Unless rated on A330 or B777 you can join the A320/300 fleet. There are plenty of pilots waiting for fleet transfer. Join th queue as everyone else did.

Mounster,
If they offered you a 777 seat. with your experience, you will probably get it.

There have been cases, albeit rare, when an individual was made to switch fleets after joining.

i'm assuming from your location you are with SQ or Cargo. PM me and let's chat.

Good Luck:ok:

QR
 

It is so funny to see Qatar Airways and what they do . Actually its good TRTO . QR is doing training for NON rated pilots and they they run to other airlines . There goes saving policy.
Etihad ,Vietnam,Korean,Air Arabia,Air Asia,Wizz Air still looking for type rated experienced crew just knock and say " i am from NOT ALOWED " airline can i apply ?

QR have highest rate of resignations or ( take 3 days off or annual leave and never come back procedure) in region and the salary is medium compare to other airlines what do you think what is the reason ?

The reason is because pilots are "cheap drivers" .

does any body know something related of the screening for a captain position? what are they asking on the interviewand how is the simulator check?
any info wil be apreciated.
tks.

Any Information About The Interview Process On The 26/27 Of Aug In Doha ??

The latest info is that their is a 50 question test that must be done in 60minutes. The test is no aircraft specific and the recruiting hasnt given references on were to study. Hopefully the guys on the 12/13aug can spread the knowledge

The screening is not at all like it used to be, many new changes and more stringent criteria is now in place.
the degree of difficulty has now been raised. seems we are not going to accept just anyone off the street these days. The goal posts have been moved.

good luck ! and may the best man/woman win? (some might want to argue that phrase) :}

Instead of discouraging everybody why dont you find out the ins and outs of the interview for the guys who are jobless. Im sure your one of the guys who got in when they would let anybody in as you put it. with that kind of arrougance I know what nationality you are

Can anyone give a breakdown of the cost of living on an F/O salary?

On a F/O salary count on 6500-7000 usd for the 320. If your single its enough, married i have no idea

Thanks for the reply Fubaliera.
Out of that how much would you spend on living?
Im just wondering if it would be possible to save a little.

since when is telling the straight facts to be understood as deliberately trying to discourage those out of work ?
I wont paint flowers and pretty pictures for anyone, the least I can do it let anyone know not to come thinking it will be a walk in the park, do some basic reading and be prepared.
if you want to misconstrue that as discouraging, then so be it. I'm sure others understand.

save a little ( "little" being the operative word ) is not a problem. it's not a cheap country to reside.

thanks for the reply fubaliera.
i didn't know they will interview also on the 13 of aug,i know in sep they will interview DEC.
if anybody have some information about this test ,please post some information or send me a PM.
CA KRUNCH,i been reading all the post about qatar and u always have nothing good to say,i don't understand if u still work there or u left already,but anyway,i think there is no airline out there that is perfect,and everybody have a different opinion or situation in life,for some people qatar sucks,for others is a good place,i have personally a couple friends that fly for qatar and they are happy.
thanks anyway. :ok:

Argpilot,


a couple of things for you!

Krunch might be a sarcastic SOB, he never said anything which was not true!

You should be happy he is one of the people here trying to give you a clear picture of what to expect when venturing over here!

QR is an airline, so prepare for an airline interview! You do not need any comment on a forum like this one if you are good enough as a pilot to join here! The interview process has changed, so prepare for the worst!
The CP recruitment is european and has a thorough technical background, so thats what you should be focussing on mate! JAA ATPL questions, ace the technical pilot interview book is a good start!
FAA rubbish usually does not leave a very good impression over here.

Oh, and regarding the salary....On an A320 you will be making around 50000QAR as a captain and around 38000QAR as an FO, including housing allowance! Substract 12000 Capt and 10000FO as you people will be housed in company accomodation!

Good luck! And be prepared as you will be in for a shock!

Argpilot,

Read Ace The Pilot Technical interview and you should be fine with the test.

The CP recruitment is South African (last time I checked it was part of Africa not Europe) and has a background as an instructor. He gave me my sim eval and was straight forward and honest.

As for FAA v. JAA you'll get a sample of JAA in the HPL course. You can decide for yourself which format contains the most "rubbish".

Good Luck!:ok:

38,000-10,000 QAR per month for F/O? That if you don't have many double sectors or BAH flights on your roster. Assume you have some nice layover then 28,000 would be possible

I know you trying to get some information, clue, tip or whatever. Unfortunately can't be helpful. I did my interview some time ago and everything has changed. Actually. Goat Airways changes everything from time to time.The management normally is not expect to last much longer.
If you are type rated on A320, A300, A330 or B777. I suppose some of the questions will be about it.http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ies/thumbs.gif
And think about this:
"FAA rubbish usually does not leave a very good impression over here."
"The CP recruitment is European." This is true. But he is B777's Captain as well.

B777 flies to:
Saudi Arabia: FAA
UAE: FAA
USA: FAA
and INDIA: WHAT TO DO! http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...s/badteeth.gif
I don't think the FAA is a garbage.http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ilies/evil.gif

Good luck. And join the club! http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ies/thumbs.gif
P.S: Circling approach is a must for the Goat. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...s/badteeth.gif

Whoooo, touchy subject ladies?


Let me ask you this than. How come so many people failed their command interview recently? All questions where pure JAR ATPL questions yet, the FAA based guys had no clue what they where being asked!

QCAR is based on JAR-OPS and JAR-FCL. So you better get up to speed with those regulations ISO FAA!

FAA is notoriously easy in whatever theoretical aspect you look at! Myself I passed my JAA ATPL after 14 months intensive studying, however I passed my FAA ATPL after 1 week reading a book with Q & A!

I am not saying JAA is better or worse, it is just a different approach towards aviation and YES, theoretically FAA is rubbish! And wasnt that what we where talking about? The theoretical questions of the interview?

So please, leave your personal sentiments at home for your domestic fights...

And whoever thinks the FAA invented aviation should go back to school!

Take it easy guys, we are watching the drivel being posted

EGGW

JAA ATP course: scientific approach of aviation.
FAA ATP course: practical approach of aviation.
Wich one is better or worse..don't known ..anyway after so many years you probably forgot 90% of what you have studied....during your ATP course as you never use it (specially for JAA ATP)!:uhoh:

Blacksteel the UAE & Qatar are based on European JAA rules that's why Shneider said no FAA rubbish (Ok its not all rubbish but they are not the rules used over here except in Saudi). For example please use ICAO R/T for example not Afirmative its Afirm.

EPR it was the French (I am not French). Who started aviation. Also the Spad was used by the US in WW1 that too was French. The first public demonstration of a lighter-than-air machine took place on June 4, 1783, in Annonay, France, by Montgolfier.

Shneider & Kruch give good info & yes the interview is hard with only a few passing in each group. Krunch & shneidertrophy tell it as it is, so please listen to them!

These days Qatar is one of the few Airlines still hiring with good equipment & they are not going to go bust. On a scale of things they are no so bad and for sure better than Emirates except on the A320 fleet. (Never thought I would say that as a couple of years ago it was the other way round). But no where is perfect these days.Just if you come to QR have your eyes open before you get here and don't bitch about it afterwards, things are much worse in many other places these days.

Guys. Im not gonna even comment on JAA/FAA but last time I checked FAA operators much better saftey record, at least there not like the french, when they crashed in toronto they were called heroes, and the latest incident were they cant find the black box, hmm not sure if i believe that one. But regardless of the background can we please help the guys who are jobless with the info. ideas on what to study. Look at the emirates sites, there is so much more information shared by those guys. I agree on one thing, JAA reg and terminology wil prevail in the QR interview. I suggest bristol ground schools for the JAA ATPL questions, learn JAA CAT 1/2/3 regulations, AWOPS, fuel planning,etops etc etc.
Any good info I will be glad to post as soon as I get it.

If you havent flown etops, say so, but it wouldnt hurt to do a little reasearch on it. Its not that hard al all. As far as the frenchies goe, i will end it now because we could on for days.

Now that is REALLY funny. Hell would have to freeze over, before I would ever consider working for that incompetent and arrogant fool Al Baker. The company has never made a cent, is just a willy waving exercise on behalf of the Qatar family, to their Gulf neighbours.

EK maybe in a bit of a pickle with the sh1t we are being fed of late Habibi, but it isn't that bad, no way!

SyB :zzz:

s b
what EK is going to do with their 54 A380 on Order put them in circle around Dubai exibit like a circus I can buy a ticket and bring the kids over for a visit.
or probably take all the chineese population combined with india for a free world tour.:ugh:

I don't think that any Qr pilot will either be fool to work in a such weird environment and so incompetent management:confused:

Fly high and stay safe:}

Thanks For The Replys Guys !!

I Know There Is A Test, I Don't Know What To Call It ,nasa Test,
First U Do It As A Individual And Then In Group,you Are Lost In Whatever Planet And Then U Have Like 15 Things,and U Have To Decide And Put In Order What Things U Think Are The Most Important.
Ex: O2 ,water,food,gun,compass,a Map Of The Stars,etc.

This is an easy question. US$ 50.000. Three years' time .
Actually. I don't know if it is so easy.:}
But join the club :E

Can someone advise me if it is illegal to "Make L..ve" before marriage in Qatar?
:confused: :eek:

And one more queschen: Ho mach cost Sex Doll in Qatar? ;)

Immigrant
 

I think relationships are tolerated as long as you don't do anything in public. There are many things going on behind closed doors in Qatar and all the other countries around for that matter. I had a couple of boyfriends (not at the same time!) when I lived there and there were no problems. Mum's the word!

A doll? One of those inflatable ones? ;)

Inflatable doll..oh yes but don't bring it outside in the sun during the summer time:it's too hot, she will melt!:eek:

For the rest it's like Emma said...you known ..a lot of hypocrisy happens behind all this "rules"..!
