Just have to have the written complete

IFRK....


Would you mind letting me know how much time lapsed from your application submission to an invite for the interview?

I sent my applicatoion for the 1st time in March, then a second time end of june and them I called.

So I don't know witch application they took, It could 2 or 4 months for me.

I have been told back in April that they were recruiting only rated pilots and they would take some non rated again by the end of summer, as i am not rated on 777 or airbus it's seem true.

Apparantly they are very busy that why it takes that long.

Hope for the best, do you mind to tell us how many hours you have ?

Thx :ok:

IFRK,

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I applied in Feb and then again at the end of June. So perhaps I'm getting closer to the top of the list.

Can you clarify something for me? In your post you mentioned that you called them? Am I reading that correctly? Or did you mean to say they called you? If you initiated the call, would you mind sharing your contact with me?

You can PM me if you like.

Best of luck to you on the interview.

paid leave
 

I was just looking at the website on benefits, is there no paid leave in the contract. would appreciate anyone replying.

NO paid leave in QR.
Here you get paid for the work performed..nothing less and.. off course nothing more!
No extra..No Bonus,No 13 month,No paid leave,No pension,No salary increase after 5 years seniority...
Make your math before joining...:bored:

You mean to say they dont pay you during your annual leave??:confused:

Yes They do pay your basic salary off course..but No "Paid leave" as we call it in Europe or elsewhere.. i guess thats what cp35 means..

paid leave
 

Thanks for the reply, just to clarify, they do give an annual leave ( how much?) but only paid basic during leave. Is that correct?.

All carriers here pay only basic during your annual leave, of course your housing as well...sounds "paid" to me...

CP35:
During leave you get : BASIC + (house allowance if you have it) + TRANSPORT + UTILITY+ (erp).
But here in Q.R. the Flight allowance may represent up to 2O % of your salary...thats why when you go on leave you will see a difference...

paid leave
 

Thanks LOC22550,
so how long is the paid leave entitlement?

Cp35:
you have 42 days leave/year . (have to be taken by 7 days slot: 7 days or 15 days or 21 days split between two periods of 6 month: from april- september(21 days) and from october-march(21 days).
-When you take 2 weeks or 3 weeks in a row, you will have one day off before and one day off after you slot.
-No day off before or after(unless you are lucky with your roster) if you take only one week. Don't ask me why...

paid leave
 

Thanks for the info LOC22550.

Another question, the website says the basic is $9500 based on 75 hours, does that include your flying allowance?

yes it does. 9500 U$ = basic salary +7O hours of flying allowance (meal allowance not included(layover)).
BUT It ASSUME you will fly 70 hours..if you fly less than 70 hours you will get less, if you fly more you will get more...

Interview process
 

Hi guys,

Just looking for any up to date and relevant info on the interview process. I have been called for interview next week and would appreciate any info.

I know some of you will begin to complain and tell me to use the search function... I have.... most of the info is months if not years old. I have read all 100 pages of this thread.

If anyone has any info or tips on the interview, exam, or sim I would (and others) would love to hear them or feel free to PM me also.

Thank you in advance

App Time
 

Sandpit66,

Congrats and good luck. Don't have any interview info for you, but if you wouldn't mind posting the length of time it took to get the call for an interview from your application date it would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Cheers,

I first applied at the end of April and then re-sent everything 6 weeks later following up with a call to the HR dept. Once I got through it took only 2 weeks to get called for the interview.
3000TT, - no Airbus or Boeing rating.

Grea.t thanks! Would you mind PM'ing me the phone # you called for HR?

sandpit66, check your PM's. :ok:

Paid Leave
 

THANKS FOR THE INFO loc22550

That doesn't seem like a lot for 70 hours a month. what then is the average take home pay?

This question may have been answered already. If someone has Boeing time (let's say 737-800 or 757/767), do they more than likely get selected for 777 based on that Boeing experience? Or, is there an equal chance they will get Airbus (i.e., A320)? Do people with only Airbus experience also get selected for 777?

Cheers

Hi Iver,

I think someone said quite a few posts back that generally Boeing go 777 and Airbus go Airbus-all the guys in between go Airbus too 'apparently', But from reading all the posts my opinion is it's a bit of a lottery and you will go where needed!

As for the interview process, am I correct in thinking that there is currently no psychometric testing nor is there anything like a group exercise? Its simply just 1) an introduction to Qatar 2) Technical exam 3) Interview 4) Sim check

-Are they asking Tech questions in the interviews at present or is it just "tell me about a time when..."

Cp35:
CPT A-320 take home pay:...10.000U$/month + company accomodation .
Not THAT much agree if you have family and kids living with you here in Doha....taking everything in consideration: ..No pension...,No increase after 5 years of seniority and if you have more than one kid here in doha you probably will have to put your hand deeply into your pocket to pay the astronomical school fees!

paid leave
 

Thanks LOC22550, your replies have been straight forward and informative. Appreciate it. Good luck in life.

road show
 

hello guys.
after Miami, where and when will the next road show(s) be?

Hello,

I'm unsure what the current situation with school fees is. I read in this thread that the current allowance is only enough to pay for 1 child. I also read that the allowance is 50,000QR for up to three kids. Looking at the school fees for 2010/11 is seems to me that 50,000 would be more or less enough for a couple of secondary kids.

Could somebody with kids in school in Doha, please let me know what the current allowance is?

hi all
 

Dose any one know about cv drop-off for Qatar cabin crew in Dubai recently venue and date if show please do let me know.

thanks.

Just go to the local fisdo and they will fill it out and axe it to Qatar no problem. Get a copy for your joining advisor. Pm me your class date.

Shiner Pilot,

You have to snail mail your request letter and authentication form to the FAA Airmen Certificate Branch in OKC. They do not do email requests as they say they need a signature. Hello FAA get in the 21st century.

If you Google FAA it will have the complete address.

It takes about two weeks IF all the paperwork is correct.

Good Luck!

A 320
 

Hi guys,

This is directed to A320 pilots in Qatar.

I was wondering if someone could fill me in on what a normal months roster is like.
How many days on? How many days off?
What is the average duty day? 2 sectors? 4 sectors?
How many hours do you fly on average per month/per year?
How many overnights do you do?
I presume you fly 319/320/321?

As I say, any CONSTRUCTIVE info would be greatly appreciated. I have read plenty of negative comments from some of you (you know who you are) regarding the 320 fleet so please don't take this option to voice some stupid and irrelevant points.

Thanks again.

A-320 roster:
-Days off: ...8 days.../month.
-Flight time: ...70 hours..../month (..750H.../year).
-Layover:no general rules ... 3...4.. /month.(might be sometime less. might be more..)
-4 sectors a day...not that much (in my case..).. 1/month...?
( i have seen people with 4 ..5 /month).
-yes we do fly 319-320-321.

Thanks very much for your reply loc!

On the 320 fleet do you still bid for which flights/layovers you want? In theory you could do more layovers or 4 sectors days than the average if you bid for them? Or do you still only get rostered the average?

If you dont mind me asking...what does your average monthly pay come out as? Is it as 'good' as they advertise it is?

yes you are right you can bid for whatever you like...
-BUT on 320 we have only a few "good" layover for wich eveybody bid for, like: Copenhagen-Vienna-Berlin-Barcelona-Dar es salam....so it's very difficult to have it,and I still remain deeply convinced that the bidding system is not well "balanced"!
-Usualy turnaround flight/4 sectors are much more easy to get.

Cpt salary A-320: ALL inclusive ,average: ..13500.. U$/month OR ..10.000..U$/month+company accomodation. I think new joiners so far don't have the choice: they have to take company accomodation.

OK - applied in March, got a phonecall about 2 weeks ago, asking if I could go for an interview at short notice (about 4 days). As it happens I could, so QR said they would send an email confirmation etc. It never arrived.

I got a name and number from a contact at QR so I rang them. They said it must have been an error, but never mind because there was an interview place 4 August. Once again, luck was that I could make that date. Once again though, the promised email etc has not arrived.

Is this a normal experience?:confused: I'm singularly unimpressed by QR so far, not to mention put out that they appear to want to interview me and then can't seem to organise it. Suggestions for the next move are appreciated - I'm minded to tell them to stick it or else wait for their call - after all I have a job that I like so I can afford to wait for another opportunity...

Hi,

Anything new on the interview process please?

Thanks

Everything's under control 'Flyer'. The CEO decided to replace the CP Recruitment with a local teenager so expect more of the same!

welcome to qr, welcome to doha, flyer, this is just the beginning, you got already a good taste, how things are moving here - a turtle is faster.

gooooooood luck

Hi all,

Just wondering if anybody could let me know what happens in the office during ramadan? Is all normal or are people off for the duration of the holiday (particularly wondering about the HR recruitment dept as I am waiting on a reply after completing the interview process 2 weeks ago?

Thanks for the info
