Hello Gentlemen

Any sort of updates on the joining dates for the Airbus or Boeing fleets for First Officers? They seem to have removed the listing for the Airbus vacancy completely off their careers website.

Hi everyone,

passed the assessment in October (Type rated Boeing FO), been in the pool since then and 2 days ago got emailed asking to update my flying hours and docs,
maybe something is moving,
keep u advised.

Reducing fleet
 

Qatar are just about to announce a reduction in fleet size not an increase. They Lost a significant amount of money this year and the CEO has advised that there will be a reduction of employees/ fleet. Perhaps the airspace closures for the last 2 years finally starting to bite.

Where can we find more info about this? Anyone else can confirm mentioned?

Yes, hiring is about to stop until Coronavirus situation ends. Losses close to $1 billion for fiscal year ending in March...

"CORONA "

fepilot -- What is your source of information?

Where do u see their T&C?

On their website you can just apply but I want to see what I am applying for.

I am a FO TR 787, does that mean I will fly 787 for Qatar or they can put me on a different type?

Does the assesment take long time (from application until starting if successfull)?


Thanks in advance for answers👍🏻

Qatar Airways stopped the recruitment for the time being.

so if we have a upcoming assessment in Doha. As per your analysis or update, if the hiring is stopped, do you think they will stop me from coming for the assessment or still interview me and if i do pass the assessment, i will be placed in the pool. I applied for the Boeing Type Rated FO position.

To be honest, I don't know. But, in my opinion, pilots who have started the process will continue. I believe they stopped the recruitment for new candidates, not the hiring of those already on the pool or in the process.

Anyone with a more accurate information feel free to correct me.

Historically seen, Qatar has always welcomed the ones to Doha that have an assessment. If there's a need, they've been put in a conversion course and if not, they would rot away in a holding pool (even after a positive assessment) for months or even years. An ex colleague waited 1 1/2 years until he was finally offered a starting date last year in January.

Heard there's an email sent out about them doing retrenchment but not publicised as usual cus it's Dohell. Anyone can shed some light on this?

hey guys!
I applied to QR last month, for the rated FO.
i'm rated on Boeing 787 as well as on the A32S, any advice on what's the best route to take? (better chance on upgrades, roasters, flights...)
Boeing or Airbus?
cheers!

i would like to ask you guys as i failed last year the online test after a 10 days preparation through pilots latestjobs website, and actually was quite similar. Is anybody successful candidate recommending something else for better preparation?

How's the dating scene for a single guy in Doha?

Not the best. Dubai would be better for that.

Do they accept the Jeppesen FAA format logbook or it must be FCL .50 format?

It must be FCL. 50 format upon joining airline. That's what I was told a year ago on assesment.

I'm petty sure all recruitment has been halted at the moment, don't see any pilot positions on QR website. The covid-19 plus the blockade taking its toal sadly.
