They have a "holding/talent" pool full of pilots but will continue to have open days for pilot recruitment this year. I assume CTC has taken the place for any future FTSO or NTSO recruitment.

Dash-8/300 hours
 

Dash-8/300 hours

Hi,

I have Dash-8/300 hours, which is 19500 KG MTOW (Not 20,000 KG). Not sure if that qualifies!

"Minimum of 1,000 hours in one of the following categories; Multi crew, multi engine jet aircraft, or command turbo-prop above 20,000 kg MTOW or high performance military jet (Multi Crew Co-operation certificate required)".

Is there any non type rated pilot with Dash-8/300 hours who applied and accepted.

Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

I am referring to FO application not NTSO.

The MPL programme by CTC Wings for Qatar Airways is to train Ab-Initio pilots to end up being First officers only on the Airbus 320.

They should still need NTSO and FTSO on other fleet.

Thoughts anybody ??

No, it's called a fleet transfer, and they are lined up trying to get
off the 320 onto something better.

One rumor floating around is that the 320 would be the joining aircraft for everyone.......I personally don't think it is possible as that would triple their training for an already over- stressed traing department.

What is the difference between a FTSO on the 320 and a DEFO on the 320?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but my understanding is a FTSO, once checked to line, is an FO. How is this different to a DEFO once they're checked to line?

Does Qatar Airways accept FO with zero hours on A320,just type rated, or they ask for a minimum experience?

They want 500 hours on type, or you have to do the whole type rating again.

Can someone please confirm me if the entry basic salary for an A320 Type Rated First Officer, at or above the published minimum requirements, is 24200 QAR.
Thanks a lot.

No its 21500 QAR...well unless you are Qatari,then it's 60% more!:E
(A Qatari F/O make more money than an expat captain)

Thanks Salamalikum! :ugh:

any 320 TR FO who recently went for PAT ?

Are you sure ? it's not what I've heard, could you confirm please, thx.

YES,I do confirm, the entry level salary for a F/O is 21500 QAR.
The value mentioned by JGSE(24200 QAR) is for Senior first officer( after 3 years as a operational F/O in the company,(based on your final line check))

hello gentlemen, does anybody knows if pilots who applied for second officers fast track and had been waiting in the talent pool for more than 9 months will be called at some point?

cheers

Sorry I'm talking about what you mentionned regarding the Qatari's salary, what I've heard is the contrary, they don't have 60% difference that's why many of them are leaving for the army where they get that 60% increase of salary

No, Qatari's get extra salary from the government, not from QR. All Qatari's get a share of the wealth of the country.

As for leaving for the Air Force it's because they get an even higher salary and their job consists of them flying around in a mirage or alpha jet for a maximum of 2 hours a month and then going home and relaxing with their gigantic paycheck. Definitely beats minimum rest turn arounds and the crap that goes with commercial aviation.
