On that topic. I was at assessment on 16th may. Does anyone know how long it takes to hear the result?

Likely aircraft for new joiners
 

Can anyone who's recently joined state what aircraft you were assigned to when joining, and what type you previously flew?

I have an assessment coming up and just wondering what aircraft to expect if I miraculously get the job. FYI, I'm 737 rated JAA& FAA, 2000 on type. I'm hoping to change my handle to 777 hustler...:cool:

Current rule no widebody assigned without previous widebody experience, in dimension of 2000 hrs. Except exceptions ;)

Hi,

as far as I know only A320 for the moment for people with your profile no matter if you have NG time, my friend has been offered A320 and have been told that for the moment they only offer A320 position.

qr
 

they still need pilots on 320 330, and soon more to come on the 777s.
each month there is pilots leaving to other carriers.
and to all boeing guys who gonna have interview with qatar airways, practise how to fly the airbus , most of the time u will be put in 320 or 330 sim for checkride as i,ve heard from others..

CALL
 

From the date one applies how long it takes to be called for the screening ?

THKS

I just returned from the interview. I feel good about all phases of the interview process. My times are 15k total with 7k pic on -320 and over 3,000 on widebodies as FO. What's the current thought process on a/c assignment for someone like me? If offered the 320 I dont think I'll accept it due to QOL.

Any thoughts are welcome.

For those about to interview the exam questions were all JAR OPS based ACE is excellent prep.

Hi NY320,

You will most likely go onto the 320 as a captain. To get on the 777, or the 330 you have to have at least 1,000 hours wide body PIC time.
That's the latest, but who knows, it could change tomorrow.

I have a question which I cannot seem to find. I have spent the past few hours on here!! :\

What is the assessment profile for Second Officer interview. Is it, the same as FO and DEC i.e 50 ATPL, Panel interview but no sim check for Second Officer applicants?

Also, what aircraft would a newly joined SO expect to be on?

Thank you thank you for any replies! :)

tech exam (50 questions), psychometric assessment, interview n a lil bit of sim cx..

expect to be on A320 once joining :)

@ to all QR pilots who gave the written
 

Are those questions form the JAA (CQB) Centralise Question bank or they make their questions of their own.

because one of my friend said that the questions were dittoed in the QR written(22nd MAY) from the JAA CQB's.

and the other friend of mine who gave the exam on 17th May said that the questions were not from the JAA CQB's
If some one can please tell me which one of them is true.:sad:

planeboy_777,

not too sure about it, but Ace helps a lot..and just to make sure u've got everything, better go thru all the ATPL notes again..i never did JAA, mine was UKCAA back in flight school, so it's even tougher for me

Gd Luck!

Thank you for the reply. :)

I was under the understanding that Second Officer applicants do not have a sim ride. However, if they do - is the sim ride in a A320 sim? Surely the sim instructor will be aware that a newbie pilot has perhaps never handled a Boeing or an Airbus sim before?

Do QA pay for your flight and hotel to go out to Doha?

Are the questions like the JAA exam questions (Bristol bank)? Difficult?

Would love to hear from someone who has undergone the process recently and give pointers to us newbies. :)

Meli :)

From what i've heard, in addition to that there would be a maths test, basic physics tests, group interview, and a few other tests.
I myself was emailed and told I would undergo assessment at GAA (Bahrain), so I am not sure if that is a different scheme as those who do the assessment in Qatar.

@planeboy_777

These friends of yours that underwent the assessment.
Was this for SO position?

Also, for guys that were short listed, i'm just curious as to whether everyone was told they'd undergo assessment at GAA, or was it just the GCC nationals?
Not sure how this works exactly.

Regards,

Z.K

From everything that I have read. I have yet to read the SO assessment consisting of math & physics tests? :confused:

Meli

@ Meli

Like I said, i'm not sure if everyone was told they would undergo the assessment at GAA, or not.
I am certain that the assessment held at GAA does include a physics and maths test though.

@ Melissa_Bettochi
 

as far as travelling is concerned
Tickets will be mailed to you (business class):D
Hotel accommodation is free (5 star):D
Food expense will be paid by them
it will be a two day journey.

in short you don't have to drain any penny from your pocket.:=

Thanks for the clear information. Has anyone recently been through the SO selection? :)

Anyone invited for the interview and assessment at the end of the month? :D

Qatar Executive
 

Has anyone interviewed for Qatar Executive for the CL604/605?

@Miguel

What position is this for?

FO position, which are you looking for and are you invited? :ok:

@ Miguel

S/O Position.
Invited yes.
When? God knows.

Good luck to you though!

z khalid if you are invited do they not given a interview date?

Heard SO programme is tough to get an interview but if you get the interview then chance of getting is job is high!?

Miguel.

I was short listed and told I would have to undergo an assessment.
The assessment is supposed to be conducted in Bahrain and has been postponed due to the problems there recently.

I do believe however that like you said, since I have been shortlisted and told I would be given a chance, my chances are still quiet good.

Hopefully things work out for both of us :)

Is Dougie Gauge from the UK still interviewing people? :E

Negative - Commander Gage no longer part of QR .
May the farce be with you
Daft Wader

@Miguel

That was one of the sites that I used to prepare, although it was free when I was using it. Shame. There is good and pertinent info on that site. I also used this site ( Airline Ratings & Interview Gouge ) to prep, very similar information available.

Hello,

already asked but still waiting for some inputs :

back to the A320, what is the career plan in QA for those assigned to that plane are you stuck on the airbus or regarding your experience you can move on the Boeing specially with B777 & B787 coming, because if it's a matter of time I understand that it might be difficult to fly the A320 instead of A330 or B777 but maybe after few years and seniority you can expect a better position.

Thanks for your inputs :ok:

Qatar airways interview
 

Miguel

I went for a First Officer interview with Qatar and I used latestpilotjobs website for studying for my interview. I have to say it was worth the money.

1- I saw around 50% of the ATPL questions (exact same wording)
2- HR interview was the same as they described
3- Simulator was very detailed as well

I think Qatar changes their ATPL questions from day to day. The reason I'm saying this is one of my friends that attended interview few days after me got different questions from what I got.

Now I have to convince my wife to move to sandpit :ugh:

Good luck

easier the interview mate!

much harder!

@ pilotdreamer2

Were the rest of the question from the JAA CQB's ??
and on which subject did they actually examined in your written exam ....?

Anyone recommend an outfit for A330 sim time in the UK?

Cheers! :ok:

Yes, Oxford Aviation - they used to be GECAT. They have an A330 sim near Heathrow. The ladies in the admin department are very efficient and helpful and can arrange both an instructor and stand in pilot if required.
This is the office number: +44 (0) 1293 543541

Another question, sorry! Is a calculator or manual flight computer is needed for technical exam?

Hi, guys. If you have your family and can choose a job in between Qatar, Flydubai, or Ethihad, which one do you take??

Reading lots of conflicting things.

What is the take home pay after everything for an FO on A320 and A330!? And how does staff travel work. Nominees or just the mrs.

Cheers!

On 330, as an FO you can expect somewhere between 30K and 34K (QAR) flying around 85+ hours a month.

Staff travel is purely for your family i.e wife,kids, your parents and and brothers/sisters you have. Nothing for your wife's side of the family. :ugh:
