News for Captains??
 

Hi guys,

Does some one heard something else about the Boeing Captains??

Qatar said we have to wait until we finish up our holding pool time, and probably we will be refused due to manpower requirements, but someone has any other update??
Thanks to all of you!
Regards!

They are now advertising for "Cargo" Captains and FOs on 777 and 330. Strange to hear that lots of you are still in hold pool and waiting when they are still recruiting. Are they actually operating split pax / cargo operations?

CP

Cargo/pax
 

I guess they are gathering interest of applications to have slit cargo/ pax ops as there the cargo ops has grown drastically.

Cargo roaster
 

Hi everyone anyone knows the cargo roaster in QR cargo and if
The salary is the same as pax ops

Thanx

What are you on about Chocks?!

Anyone been through the assessment process recently and can give some feedback?

Also interested to hear from anyone that's been offered a job recently, Boeing FO... How long is the hold pool wait at the moment?

Thanks

I see that there are alot of orders. They say they need 600 pilots for this year only. How many planes will come and at what pace?

I waited 10 month or so as Boeing rated FO - been put on 777 - originally applied for 787 but not complaining. :cool:

Just been through the interview / sim phase and awaiting outcome.
They told me, this was 3 days ago, that they have no spare training capacity for new hire BOEING, there will be hold pools for some time.
Airbus different story, wanting people to start in August. That is of course for Type Rated Captains and F/O's. I guess any NTR's will be hired onto bus predominantly 330 it would seem.

joining 19th june
 

hello guys

anyone joining on the 19th june 2016 for the 777, please PM me

I tried to attend the open day that Qatar held in IST but i couldnt go,though a close friend of mine working for THY was there. He is heavily experienced on the 738 and TRE/TRI .They told him that they have enough applications from type rated captains on the Boeing fleet and the chances for 737 guys to be hired within the next year are slim .

On the other hand a couple of expats FO type rated on the 777 and flying for THY were told that the selection process for them will be fast .

its a fact that Qatar is looking for 600 pilots within the next 12 months .

Any advice on time to left seat on the Boeing for a new hire with a bit of previous non-Boeing PIC time?

hello guys

anyone joining qatar on the 19th june 2016 for b777fo batch,

please pm me

Was this for FOs on the Boeing as well? I know that for captains, things are moving slowly on the Boeing side.

My impression was, all Boeing into hold pool. But to be honest I was more interested in the Airbus deal, so may have missed the info.

Are they taking any Boeing guys and putting them on Airbus?

Anyone who's been recently care to share any info about the assessment??

Been asking for weeks, no one wants to share any info!!

]don't think so but can't be sure.

Send in online app, they then ask for your CV etc and get you to do an online fruit loop test!
Once done you get an invite, assuming you not fruit loop, to Doha.
Day 1 is a HR briefing on salaries and benefits etc, then all do a 1 hour 50 question multiple choice tech exam, which is non type specific and covers anything you might have done in your Comm ATPL exams.

IF.. you pass that you get to go for interview with 2 pilots. Questions cover non type specific events in your flying career where they like you to give as much detail as possible. i.e., did you ever fly with a difficult captain and how did you handle it.

Not everyone got through this bit, but if you do, you get invited to sim check next day.

This could be in 777 for Boeing people or 320 for Airbus.
If you NTR you seem to fly a different scenario to TR who it would seem really had a good workout with failures TCAS' etc.
NTR, for me at least was all raw data manoeuvres followed by a sick pax scenario after take off.

No feed back from sim guys allowed, I guess we get the 'don't phone us we'll phone you' in a couple of weeks.

Tip, if you paperwork or logbook is not perfect, you get binned straight away, no tech quiz no interview.

Loony test
 

Hey everyone

I've heared that the online Loony Test has become harder every month to pass; how did some of you guys prepare for that one?
Thnx in advance for all the replies

What's the Loony test?

I did the pats test last week, normal psychometric test, and a quick verbal reasoning and quick pattern recognition.

Both the verbal and pattern recognition it gives you a sample test to try

We were told, on 10 April by HR rep at interviews that if you join you do both, Cargo and Pax.
