A320 cheap driver 8th Oct 2009 08:56

No Mercy From Ceo
 
All true above .
A Capt terminated over a EVIAN is confirmed .
CC in QR is supported if they report to CEO anything .
NO CRM as CRM is conducted separate stewardess and cockpit crew which is against PART "D " recommendation as well it was one of finding on international audit .
DXB incident was checked and after CVR was send to CEO he got mad and decided to terminate both as they where talking against him .
Saga goes on and Capt is gone from Qatar while F/O is stuck due his new born baby has no passport yet and he need to wait to get it from Latin America there he go to aske CEO if he can give him some time or reconsider termination,CEO answer NO and took his ID.
A A320 Capt young guy good skipper was stopped from Inst upgrade and CEO was after him for long time only because he married a EX C crew who was terminated and blacklisted to enter Qatar .After she complain to H.H.S.B.J owner or Q.A who blasted at CEO for mistreating crew a A320 Capt trouble started and by the end he was send for SIM with a S.D a well known Italian TRE who will sell anyone for position he was failed and kicked home . Again CEO proven his power to flight deck .
Good luck Capt Z i will fly with you anywhere any time .( your VIE F/O )
Sorry to say Qatar Airways is not place to stay as long as there is CEO who run airline based on personal hate basses .

That's a pretty big accusation towards the checker:eek:

Cochise
 
You may know fellow Indians (of the red variety) but you do not know S.D.. Well known for revelling in the nickname 'The Terminator' there are many such like, and well known examples of his coward-like attacks on people in the Sim.

No wonder he was sacked - Thank God. However, he left a lot of sh*t for poor old K.F. who will soon be gone also, but by his own choice.

P.S. You hit the nail on the head!! Checker - never a Trainer. See people like I.M. (defo not the English one!!), I.K. etc. The real McCoy.

December interviews
 
Hello all. I got an invite for December 15th. Still searching for JAA stuff for interview.

Black Stain 10th Oct 2009 11:25

Musolini may be gone, but dont relax, Goat Airways will find another fascist to replace him soon enough :)

Evian
 
If anyone knows, can you publish the name of the CSD that has had the Captain terminated over a bottle of water? I will remember the name in case of a jumpseat request. It is important that we all know, please help.

NoJoke 10th Oct 2009 19:50

EPR SET
 
The story is NoJoke. The Captain was Algerian, one of the 'nice' ones. As for drawing the correct picture - come over and see it. I haven't followed all your posts but you seem to be a doubting Thomas, and before you say 'if its all that bad then leave' - people are leaving in droves. I understand you are on your way, or want to be. Are you going to be a DEC? Whatever, welcome.

Sim Assessment
 
Does anybody know if it is most likely to be evaluated on the A330 than the B777? or it is based on luck!!!

Thanks.

Speedbird1 11th Oct 2009 11:58

Hi everyone,

I have 3100 hours total with 2900 on the B737, mostly on the -800. I sent my application via email and post about 3 weeks ago. What sort of chances do i have of being selected for interview for a B777 F/O position?

Anyone with similar sort of hours heard anything? Just curious as to what sort of experience Qatar Airways is after.

Many thanks

:ok:

Speedbird1 11th Oct 2009 19:49

Hi All,

Thanks for your reply snam. Although the B777 would be great to get, an interview right now would be a great result. 3 weeks and waiting


:ok:

Baron buzz 11th Oct 2009 21:06

I have similar experience to you Speedbird 1, applied about a month ago and haven't heard anything yet. Like you, I would appreciate even a rejection letter right now!!

kiwi78 12th Oct 2009 08:16

I applied early September and got an invite last week, it took about 6 wks.:)

NEDude 12th Oct 2009 09:29

Anyone know how long it takes to get the travel arrangements? I received the invite for mid Novemeber a few weeks ago and gave them a Qatar city I will need travel from. They said they would get back with the travel information but nothing as of yet. Just want to know when I need to worry.

On another note, I understand that most of the time you will tend to be assigned to the make of fleet you have experience in - ie. Boeing guys wll go to 777, Airbus guys will get Airbus. But on the Airbus side do they stick you with the type you have flown? My experience in on the A320, but could I get A330/340?

Speedbird1 12th Oct 2009 10:50

Baron Buzz-Hang in there.Hopefully something (Positive) will be coming our way soon!

Snam- Yes im currently in a low cost carrier based in Stansted. i`m Sure you`ll figure it out!haha- did i mention i travel to ireland quite a bit!

Valdemort 12th Oct 2009 14:48

Speedbird

Don't worry QR is very short of instructors and the number of applications are very high , also they a short of FOs .
You'll be called as sooner as U expect .
Good luck ...

Cenrifugel 12th Oct 2009 15:39

Hi guys, i'm also still waiting patiently on any news. I'm on about 4000hrs total, 2000hrs jet above 40 000kg's. Only 500 on 737-800's though. Keeping my fingers crossed.:ok:

widebody300er 12th Oct 2009 17:02

NEDude..
I received all my travel arrangements exactly two weeks before my interview..:ok:

Speedbird1 12th Oct 2009 19:01

Thanks Valdemort, Fills me with much needed optimism.

Best of luck to all who have applied, those invited for interview and those waiting for a response. Fingers crossed for you all

:ok:

Baron buzz 12th Oct 2009 19:45

SNAM, not a low cost no, but a certain holiday airline soon to be making lots of redundancies.....

Cheers for the info, I feel a bit better that it takes 6+ weeks to hear back. I would very much like to be given the opportunity for interview.

Good luck to all who have been invited so far:ok:

PUPY 199 13th Oct 2009 14:49

need to know
 
Need to know and nice to know :

Need to know is that :
2 Capt where in jail in Doah and no one come to help them ( long time a go )
1 F/o still in jail in Doha no one from airline come to visit and ask if he is guilty or not .

Terminations are every day event
Nice to know :
salary 26500 from Capt and 18000 fro F/O
nice new B777 every month operated by unhappy crew who repoerts each other

wingbar 13th Oct 2009 15:22

Hi guys,

I have just submitted my application via e-mail around 5 days ago.
Reading through the many threads on this subject I have come to varying conclusions about the time some are waiting to get a response.
What I wanted to know was, does anybody who's been successful at selection, or, had an interview think it's any better mailing it via snail mail as well?

Best regards

WB

manazir66 13th Oct 2009 15:36

Hello Wingbar
 
I dont know this for sure but, I mailed my application via FedEx and it worked compare to my buddy who emailed it and he is still waiting for his reply. but then again I know ppl did get an interview by just emailing the application. If I were you I would do both mail and email.
GoodLuck

kiwi78 13th Oct 2009 16:20

I sent mine registered mail and have received an invitation, send it both ways.:)

Baron buzz 13th Oct 2009 16:39

What experience did you guys have?

I have Boeing 757/767 time, but no Airbus or 777....yet!!

wingbar 13th Oct 2009 18:52

Hi Guys, thankyou for all your response, m66 thankyou for that info, I may well mail it as well then in that case.
I'll keep you all posted as to when I get a response!
Regards Wb

varigflier 13th Oct 2009 23:31

I emailed mine and it took close to 1.5 months to get an invitation.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Maximum spread on ALL channels may work.

You Australians know everything. :}

NJ. :D

inmigrante 14th Oct 2009 15:25

how much
 
How much the salary in Dolars.Any news about the interview.
Thanks a lots:ok:

Aerodmb 14th Oct 2009 23:19

1.5 month wait for interview invite, no experience on fleet, curious as to which aircraft might be offered if hired. Sent app Fedex.

NEDude 14th Oct 2009 23:24

Sent my app in early Septmber via US postal service. Received invite for November interview before Sept 30th.

What currency do they pay you in? Do you have a choice?

Royalblue 15th Oct 2009 03:03

Congratulations to everybody who got invited. Now its time to get to the point guys...... Give some more info about the interview!!!:ok:

jmc08 15th Oct 2009 11:35

Hi Everyone!!! I got a job interview on December 7, any information or anyone else who is going to doha the same day!!!

Regards

loc22550 15th Oct 2009 13:25

NEdude:
They pay you in Qatari riyal: no choice.
But if you are from US..lucky you, because the riyal is peg to U$ at a fix rate:
1U$=3.65 QR...so you will not be affected by the Crash of the Qatari riyal(following the U$)...like a lot of us here!
Huge lost for some of us...!:ugh:Not fair IMHO..but nothing done so far by the company to protect us against this fluctuation....(ERP is a joke).

NEDude 15th Oct 2009 14:21

Hey guys, thanks for all of the info thus far.

Some more questions.

Aside from "Ace The Technical Pilot Interview" and following some of the links to the JAR testing questions, what else is good for the interview? Do they want you to know about the nation of Qatar, the history of the airline, stories from your flying past?

Approximately what is the "pass" rate? I know things like this change all the time, but any guess on the ratio of interviewees to job offers?

Third, assuming it goes well, how long from the interview to getting the good news, and how long from the good news to starting class, and how long from starting class to the first paycheck.

Thanks again to everyone.

Almendrudo 15th Oct 2009 15:27

NEDude,
You took the words right out of my mouth. I have exactly the same doubts.
I would add that I sent my resume 1.5 months ago and so far I have no news from them. I have 4000TT, 1600 jet ( half corporate half airline ), no airbus experience.
I sent my resume via email.
:sad:

Enricodina 18th Oct 2009 20:08

November 4th Interview
 
I am attending to the interview in Doha next month. Anyone got that date too? PM plz

Valdemort 19th Oct 2009 06:10

Guys
Don't worry , QR r very short of FOs , the problem is not be able to interview the number they should .
I advise you guys to give a look in ETOPS regulations , AWOPS , RNAV , and some manuvers , like Windshear , EGPWS etc. Off course the Ace interview book.

Good luck ...:ok:

northern boy 19th Oct 2009 12:09

Bit hit and miss IMHO. Applied by email and post at the start of September. Nothing at all, not even a PFO. I've got 5000hrs on Boeings including 4000 on Heavies and 8000 total. Congrats to all who were successful. I've given up waiting.

varigflier 19th Oct 2009 13:05

You should be getting something soon. It takes an average of 6 weeks to get an invitation.
