I'm also standing by for my "offer of employment". Could you guys point out what sort of info is included in this? I.e.

-course start date?
-accommodation details?
-entry visas for self+family?
-relocation tickets/ air cargo?

Just curious since it's taken a bit of time to get it.

Commuting to europe
 

Guys what are the chances of keeping the family in the EU while working as FO 777 (7on 5 off kinda deal)?

Very difficult I would say, 1 week every 2 months for annual vacation and another 4 days per month as guaranteed consecutive off days. Other than that, there are no guarantees.

Can anyone help. I have an interview with Qatar for DEC 787. I'm led to believe that I could expect 6 days off in a row p/m. I understand that this is subject to rostering requirements, but is it usually achievable or just a recruitment carrot?

Also, any kind soul prepared to say how the 787 rosters are. Any help would be really appreciated.

I've applied for the same type of job Silver68, and am showing "screened". Any idea what this means? I've got a friend there on the 787, I'll see if he can email a roster.

Tried to PM you to no avail.

Regards Tonker

If its any consolation, i don't even show screened. Once i did the online application etc, I was offered an interview date.

Well that doesn't fill me with any more hope unfortunately. Screened could mean Jason Bourne is filled in to do my interview or something !!!!!

It's a fairly quiet roster on the 787 from the brief conversations I've had with folk there. Relatively quiet I should have said.

It's not so much that I need a quiet roster, in fact i've never had one, but I would like to get home more than once every 3 months. If the possibility of 6 days off per month is a real one, then I'm happy.

Whats your experience/ background?

Fairly quiet ?????

787 Captains are doing 85 to 90 hours a month minimum.
You can expect 4 days off in a row maximum, thats all.

Fairly quiet he says, hahaha.

Obbie, thanks for the input. So the 6 days off mentioned is not really on offer, shame.

Would you be prepared to offer any more insight to the Qatar 787 gig?

Relatively......

NEW: An application will be moved to ‘New’ status automatically upon the applicant successfully completing their application. The system sends an automated acknowledgement email for this status.

UNDER REVIEW: Once applicants are listed by the Recruitment Team, they can move the application to ‘Under Review’ status and then forward the Under Review application(s) to the Line Manager for their review and feedback.

ON HOLD: This status is used when a vacancy is put on hold, thus letting the applicant know that their application is on hold. There is no set time frame for this.

INVITED TO INTERVIEW: This status will be used to invite applicants for an interview. The Recruitment Team can schedule Interview Events and invite applicants via email through the recruitment system. Through this process applicants can login into the Career Portal to view and book their interview online.

INTERVIEWED: Once an applicant has been interviewed, the Recruitment Team move the applicant to this status and send them a ‘Thank You’ email for attending the interview.

UNDER OFFER: The Recruitment Team use this status when making an offer to an applicant.

WITHDRAWN: An applicant can withdraw their application for a particular vacancy through the Career Portal – Applicant Centre. The system will send them an automated email informing them that they have withdrawn their application for a particular vacancy.

HIRED: An application can be moved to ‘Hired’ status once an applicant has accepted the offer.

REJECTED: All applications that have been unsuccessful during listing or interviewing will be moved to ‘Rejected’ status and a Regret e-mail will be sent by the system.

SCREENED: Candidates deemed “Unqualified” for a role are moved to Screened status.

INCOMPLETE: All applications will commence with their status as ‘Incomplete’. Once the applicant completes their application, the solution will automatically move them to the corresponding status.
Advanced Candidate for Another Role: Your application has been transferred to another role as an “Advanced Candidate.” This generally is very positive, and it may even be the same role, but another requisition number.

Special Captain...... Please elaborate.....

Sent you a PM

Special Captian - a fictitious term, used in a post, in an attempt to create the
illusion of accuracy or truth, when in fact neither are present.

What were his various time limit windows at ?
What was his satisfaction ranking for the last three months ?
Did he have training scheduled in the next 90 days ?
Did he have leave in the previous 30 or next 30 days ?

A lot more than simply what you bid goes into roster building.
There are no "Special Captains"
There are only Captains who think they are special.

Depends on the aircraft type.
Another company in the region is going to start offering commuting contracts, 4w on 2w off or something like that and QR will have to follow in the near future.
Other than that, it is a non commuting gig, don't let anyone make you believe anything else or you might end up being unhappy.

I agree....depending on fleet the schedule can be quite nice and you may get home often.
That being said it is not a commuting contract so if you come expecting that you will become very frustrated

QR Rosters
 

Hi all,

Looking for any info on the A330 roster at QR. Recently offered a position and struggling to find current roster info. If anyone can maybe share a typical roster, block hours, destinations, pax/freight etc. Anything would be appreciated.

Cheers

Same here, but to B787. Have seen some rosters of the T7, but none of Dreamliner. Any heads up would be appreciated.
