Reducing fleet
 

Qatar are just about to announce a reduction in fleet size not an increase. They Lost a significant amount of money this year and the CEO has advised that there will be a reduction of employees/ fleet. Perhaps the airspace closures for the last 2 years finally starting to bite.

Where can we find more info about this? Anyone else can confirm mentioned?

Yes, hiring is about to stop until Coronavirus situation ends. Losses close to $1 billion for fiscal year ending in March...

"CORONA "

fepilot -- What is your source of information?

Where do u see their T&C?

On their website you can just apply but I want to see what I am applying for.

I am a FO TR 787, does that mean I will fly 787 for Qatar or they can put me on a different type?

Does the assesment take long time (from application until starting if successfull)?


Thanks in advance for answers👍🏻

Qatar Airways stopped the recruitment for the time being.

so if we have a upcoming assessment in Doha. As per your analysis or update, if the hiring is stopped, do you think they will stop me from coming for the assessment or still interview me and if i do pass the assessment, i will be placed in the pool. I applied for the Boeing Type Rated FO position.

To be honest, I don't know. But, in my opinion, pilots who have started the process will continue. I believe they stopped the recruitment for new candidates, not the hiring of those already on the pool or in the process.

Anyone with a more accurate information feel free to correct me.

Historically seen, Qatar has always welcomed the ones to Doha that have an assessment. If there's a need, they've been put in a conversion course and if not, they would rot away in a holding pool (even after a positive assessment) for months or even years. An ex colleague waited 1 1/2 years until he was finally offered a starting date last year in January.

Heard there's an email sent out about them doing retrenchment but not publicised as usual cus it's Dohell. Anyone can shed some light on this?

hey guys!
I applied to QR last month, for the rated FO.
i'm rated on Boeing 787 as well as on the A32S, any advice on what's the best route to take? (better chance on upgrades, roasters, flights...)
Boeing or Airbus?
cheers!

i would like to ask you guys as i failed last year the online test after a 10 days preparation through pilots latestjobs website, and actually was quite similar. Is anybody successful candidate recommending something else for better preparation?

How's the dating scene for a single guy in Doha?

Not the best. Dubai would be better for that.

Do they accept the Jeppesen FAA format logbook or it must be FCL .50 format?

It must be FCL. 50 format upon joining airline. That's what I was told a year ago on assesment.

I'm petty sure all recruitment has been halted at the moment, don't see any pilot positions on QR website. The covid-19 plus the blockade taking its toal sadly.

Thanks. I will buy a new one and write down there my last 500 airline hours and thats it.

Another question. Is it a shared house offered by the company? If alone, how many sqms?, beds...

is the theoretical exame the same we found on lpj?

Man,do yourself a favor and take a deep breathe,dont rush and let the HR guys ask you transfer your logbook to new format.You will be asked transferring your last 3 pages of current log and have them stamped by current employer.That’s it!

FCL 050 Logbook pages
 

Just the last three pages have to be in that format. Not even bound in a book. So just print this out and use it for free:

Look at page 42: https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/Easy_Access_Rules_for_Flight_Crew_Licensing_Part-FCL.pdf.

That is from EASA so it definitely complies!

Forget joining Qatar for the rest of this year ..... Aviation is grinding to a halt as countries Lock-down .

This is going to be a tough year for all of us looking for jobs. Airlines shedding pilots, recruitment postponed and potentially airlines going broke.

Good luck to all trying to move jobs. May be best to be happy with the one that you have got: because it is just that - a job that you have got!

This just appeared on our website. Planning for the future.

Qatar Airways Careers - Current Opportunities

Hey all, I have just receivl

The Airbus career opportunity posted yesterday had been removed by last night

I'm pretty sure all QR pilot recruitment has stopped according to my mate who works there.

For the time as far as we know, recruitment has been stopped.

Recruitment is still ON. A lot of pilots with interview in Doha scheduled for April. So do not put bull**** in your head. Study and look forward, guys. AT LEAST ON THE TALENT POOL YOU ARE GONNA BE.

Yes. What as been stopped, at least for now, is the oppening for new applications. Not the ones already going on.

Personnaly, I have been waiting in the holding pool for 2 months since the positive mail
No news on my side for the moment

*i am Boeing FO

Relax, I waited two years.

Might find it hard to attend interviews as they're only allowing Qatari nationals into Qatar at the moment. There's unpaid leave on the go for cabin crew and pilots except on a couple of fleets. Don't think much is going to happen for some time in the recruitment arena. These are serious times for aviation, far worse than the Gulf wars or SARS. The world is in recession, it'll pick up again no doubt but not for some time.

More and more borders are closing. Very soon the ME 3 will have no where to fly. Things are getting very ugly.

Does QR provides villa's for captain with wife and a kid? or they provide an apartment? any idea in which area? if not then do they give money to rent your own apartment? any idea how much do they give?

Has anyone else been around to the new careers site? I'm unable to log in

I had to change my password. Then I could login. My previous app is gone completely, though.

Nice website, zero jobs for pilots no surprise there then.
