Hello,

I've sent yesterday my application form and got that automatic e-mail telling me that "Regretfully, due to the volume of applications we receive, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interview".

Does anyone know if a A320 type rated pilot holding 1300 hours on type will be easily considered for interview?

Thanks!

Hello all, I've found a lot of helpful information about the selection process.
However most info is dated from '09 '08 and older....
50 tech questions, interview, sim ride
Does anybody know if it's still the same thing for upcoming invitations?

Yeah, am wanting to know the same as the above poster really, so if you have some information, please do share. I'm putting in my papers tomorrow, so will be crossing my fingers.

Any idea how long to wait for an invitation, I guess with the flight advert. The recruitment department are probably swamped :)

Yep - just submitted my papers and I also got the 'regretfully...... only shortlisted candidates will get called' - or something to that effect.

Anybody get called recently? If so, what kind of flight time/experience is competitive?

Submitted my application 3months ago and was told there would be a 2 month recruitment freeze due to a training backlog or something to that effect. I got an invitation 3weeks ago for early December!

2500hrs B738 and 2800TT

Anyone who sent the application on the last month got already any answer?
Or for the guys who have already received the answer: when did you send the application?

thanks,

Guys the recruitment department is close till 2022. From now on, they are accepting only soccer player application.

Nice! What are the requirements and how is the interview process??:)
But this is a very good shoot for Qatar! 12 years to be ready!

Hello , Just looking for some info the people being interviewed...time on type, total time, age? Thanks in advance ....

Cheers

Hi, anyone can tell about a typical a320 fleet roster? just about to apply and I would appreciate a fair answer having to move with family
thanks.

South Prince: a Fair and close to the reality answer:according my experience:
(CPT A-320):

A-320 roster:
- 75h../month(150h DUTY time sometime!!)..minimum days off (8..9/month), minimum rest sometime(should say most of the time) beween two night flights including CAT C airport!(can have up to 3 night flghts in a row).
-Alternance of day-time and night time flight.
-We have so far 4 CAT C airport: 320 fleet deserving all of them generously!(most of the time you will see the same face flying to those destinations and not because they bid For!)
-You won't always fly to 5 stars aiports with 5 stars ATC..so you better be vigilant sometime!
-We have a bidding system..if you bid for days off.. they will give you STBY instead...
-As mentioned before most of the good destinations (just a few on A-320 are taken by training flight and/or Training captains!.)
-Not really fair and balanced roster in general IMHO.(especially for CPT i think)
Apart from the A-300,A-320 fleet has probably the worst ratio salary/Duty performed compared to 330/340 and 777 fleet.
-Salary(CPT): ...10.000..U$/month(including flying allowance)+accomodation+school fees.
-So except from the good experience you will build up on A-320 here, i don't see that much positive and exciting facts about 320 roster(compared to other fleet) here in Qatar airways..maybe there are,but i guess there are not that obvious for me...probably there are for the "lucky" one.:bored:

Loc.

Thanks a lot LOC22550. Let's see how it goes. If assessment will be positive I will PM you.
:ok:

Hello all

This may be a stupid question, but I am in the process of applying to Qatar and it states on the application that I have to note down my hours by breaking down every aircraft varient I have flown. Since the only multi crew aircraft I have flown is the Airbus A319/320, do I still have to break down the hours between the 319 and 320, or is it ok to enter them as one entry...?

Regards,

..............

Some SAS/Alitalia guys are going back home as well...:}
Some guys leaving to Air Arabia.(the guy conducting the pilot's interview there is an EX Qatar airways A-330 TRE..oops..:}).

When i see my roster, you don't have to be really smart to realise that we ARE short of crew: minimum days off( and still being called by the roster during those days!!,),minimum rest, maximum duty, days off request denied..
A.J has sent a letter(mail) to Training pilots before leaving the office,telling them that he tried his best before leaving the company by proposing a new package (salary increase) for pilots...:rolleyes:

Has anybody who attended an interview in October had an offer or any other correspondence. Its been 7 weeks and I've still heard nothing?

His opinion on the economy is hardly one to be respected.

Unfortunately I heard the same. I like it how most people here are just hanging on in hope there will be an improvement as pilots leave, but our CEO, being a poisoned dwarf, will prevent any improvement until flights are threatened.

There are plenty of pilots. Want an improvement? Move.

Its funny how full flaps is telling everybody to leave so he can get a raise. Why doesnt he move instead. There will be no pay raise, no commuting and Doha a living hell great for camel jockeys, family wimps and Icao -4 level english as a second language speakers. As the UK/Euro guys leave theres load of guys will to come for a free type rating. Dont get your hopes ups.

Correct!

Planned was 20% from basic; --reduction of housing allowance.

Now it will be 15%; housing allowance remains (10k F/O, 12K CPT)


Not sure if it will pe postdated to APR 09;--I rather doubt--, but you will
be surprised when checking your next payrole.

(Yes, I know!--Still one week before christmas)

great way to describe QR
 

it not only highlightes the interview process at QR but it also describes our day to day dilemma at either the technical or the towers building. :ugh:
When I am ask what qatar is like from now on from our friends that want to join here I will send them this video...

funny:ok:

YouTube - monty python job interview

6% buffer in the number of pilot..so no need for salary increase..hmmm...
Well yes today they bring pilots in Doha as soon as they got one on the market,(so scared he/she might have a look elsewhere...) let him.her enjoy his/her live in doha for a couple of months doing nothing (as there is no simulator slot available..).
So No wonder we don't have increase if on the other hand the company has to pay people for months doing nothing...:hmm:

If you really want to attract new guys today with famiky and make them STAY, i think the company should do something with:
-Pension fund and/or end of service benefit.
-education allowance
-Seniority reward....(salary increase up to 5 years seniority only doesn't make sense),introducing seniority in bidding system..?
..

No my friend....Bidding system for flights&days off has NOTHING to do with seniority!(only for vacation bid)

Hi, Is Qatar Airways that desperate to find pilots? I sent my application a month ago, called them, they confirmed that I was in the system but so far no sign from them. I have way more than the mini requirement :ugh:
So what's going on in Qatar :confused:

Looking for information on the interview
 

taking advantage of some of you who attended the interview process, could you give me details about it please:

1.Assessment exam.
2.Oral Interview
3.Simulator
4.Etc
Is there a tech exam, what is it based on, Regulations,
Any information would be great.

Can someone explain to be what is an XTBN. Is it the same as a Standby, or, if you do not get called by the start of that day - then you have the day off?

Any references to point to?

Cheers

Although you will not find it written anywhere, I have been advised by people in the training department that it means the following:

XTBN is - To Be Notified (no idea why they put an X before it).
You have not been allocated any duty on that day, however you can be called for duty as long as they notify you before 10PM the previous night.

Therefore it is not the same as Standby.

Merry Christmas to you All!

"Max days off.."?..you mean MINIMUM....Agree that in Q.R. those days unfortunatly the minimum becomes the maximum ..(days off... rest....),thats the way they think here..but it shouldn't..
Because As far as i known there is no rules regarding Max days off!

XTBN - Is used ( Or should be ) used for U/T Pilots only .

May the farce be with you

Daft Wader

:ok:

Unfortunatelly,

in this company,that pretends to be a 5 star airline,even if there are plenty of pilots and the bidding system will give you more then 8 days off because all rotations are covered they will just remove the days off and put either a STBY or XTBN....why???
Because they are IDIOTS....they are loosing all the good pilots,the one able to find a better job.
Why AAB doesn't realize the image and the economical damage the crewing dept is doing to the company???

All this stress for no reason....until...something will happen...

and **** happens....

NOF:ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh:

"we ""can not"" allocate more than 8 days off"....yes sure.....
Lets not be naive..
-Cabin crew can have their STBY or TBN turn into days off so they can enjoy 5..6 days off in a row!!(true story).
-For Cockpit crew its just the opposite: you bid for days off they will give you STBY instead....
Does it make sense....?

Bid system! It's a joke.:mad:
Corruption system.

Vaschandi:"you will be surprised when checking your next payrole"
We probably don't use the same calendar..:
You are 3 months ahead for your 1st of april fool.:ooh:

Hi Guys,

Sorry to go back to a previous question, is all recruitment now for the A320 only? Heard rumours of being stuck on the 320 for 3 years before being entitled for a fleet transfer.

Just want to know if I am wasting their time going for an interview.

Cheers

"Heard rumors of being stuck on the 320 for 3 years before being entitled for a fleet transfer." Insha'Allah! :E

But if you get some friends at the management department you can jump a bunch of drivers. :}
seniority list it's a joke :mad:

JB10:
Yes well mainly on 320...thats what i heard....
""Wasting time ""why..is it shamful to fly the A-320, it's hard work yes for sure especially here in Q.R.
As a New joiner you should accept to join and follow the queue my friend.. not to by pass it! Make sense?

Kijangnim:
This whimsical guy said NEXT payroll...:\

... unfortunately in this showbis there will be always a younger available to do your job for for less ... this is the bloody true Brian!

All the SAS F/Os called back rumor is 30 will leave this month .
