Does anybody know what are some A320 destinations, or where the A320 destinations can be found?

A21 9th Sep 2011 08:45

Well I got a position as FO and I am not rated (DC-9 rider).
Any one got some info about the routes with A300.

Thanks.

blusky75 9th Sep 2011 10:28

maybe I mistake but I think the A300 flies only Cargo Flights.. but dunno where... i think i read it somewhere...

gdukkoq 9th Sep 2011 14:32

Im suppose to fly to doha next week for the interview, and i havent received any tickets or hotel confirmation yet. I have sent 2 emails to them without reply. Should i be worry yet? I have paid my airline tickets already to join the QR network :ugh:

blusky75 9th Sep 2011 16:58

I got my ticket 5 days before... I sent them an emailjust to be sure and they answered me with the ticket

gdukkoq 9th Sep 2011 21:35

Alright but now its the week end, and it seems the guy who I was talking to no longer works there, and I heard it is a real mess. I hope they will get sort out in time

QR Assessment Experience
 
Previous posts are pretty spot on: Interviewed August 2011, First Officer

Business Class to Doha, everyone on staff I encountered was extremely gracious, courteous and nice. These attributes were perpetuated by the hiring managers and pilots that conducted the assessment in Doha.

Day One:

8 am refreshments and coffee served as the 10 of us waited near the conference room to begin.

Logbooks, medicals and documents taken for review.

Short introduction to Qatar Airways by one of the airline's Airbus Captains. Informational session that includes description of compensation package, accommodations, medical benefits, transportation allowance, and other similar details.

3 Phases for the assessment

Phase 1
Written test:
50 questions JAA/FAA ATPL questions, most gouges you come across are spot on regarding these questions. Study them along with the ATPL test bank and you'll be fine. .

Phase 2:
Panel Interview:
2 pilots, and an HR professional, this was the most relaxed of any phase. GIVE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES when asked about certain experiences while flying for your company. The capitalization in the previous sentence should suffice as to how you should approach the questions posed to you.

Phase 3:
Simulator Assessment


A330
You will be sent the profile prior to traveling for the interview. Image or chair fly and learn the pitch and power settings (important to have at least a ballpark target). I had no prior Airbus experience, I studied the profile and listened to the evaluator about how to decipher information on PFD. The airbus side yoke is particularly sensitive, just try to stay calm and rely on basic skills to help you. That was it. Also try to rest up as much as you can during your break between panel and sim. You may have to enter the sim pretty late and fatigue is the enemy of a decent sim ride, specifically if you don't have Airbus time.

No word yet, hopefully the hiring managers are planning classes and are waiting to assign aircraft before they send a decision.

pm me for more details.

EGAC_Ramper 12th Sep 2011 19:57

Regarding the open day they were at the Renaissance Heathrow not Radisson.

CDNATPL 14th Sep 2011 20:24

Has anyone been getting interviews or offers with just the command heavy turboprop time? I am wondering if only people with jet time are getting considered at this time.

Thanks

CadetPilot 14th Sep 2011 21:18

I recieved my confirmation yesterday that I would recieve a contract hopefully in the coming few weeks.
I am a fresh graduate (Normal S/O).

Short listed on december last year.
I believe they are still busy with guys that were shortlisted early this year.
I could be wrong.

Good luck to all! :ok:

Sephore 15th Sep 2011 14:59

Bluesky75,

congratulations, can I ask you when you passed the interview ? hope you will have the T7 but at least you have a job even on the A320 you have to think about your career not a specific plance.

Well done :D

Non Zero 15th Sep 2011 15:21


even on the A320 you have to think about your career not a specific plance
Guys ... 320 is not that bad ... expect also same very nice destinations ... upward mobility and on the long run ... a pretty stable job in a sunny part of the world ;)!

blusky75 16th Sep 2011 07:19

txh Sephore....yes u have reson! i think the same, a job is a job and as pilot i would fly any kind of aircraft...mine was just a dream... i am happy anyway :)

Non Zero 17th Sep 2011 11:53

Hey Lady
nothing to fear ... just a standard JAA medical (ECG, blood test, urine test... easy easy) but instead of calling it JAA they call it QCAA ... that's it! :ok:

LADY PISCES 17th Sep 2011 12:44

blusky75 17th Sep 2011 12:51

maddog37 17th Sep 2011 12:58

Does anyone know how long it takes to join the company after the interview?

Non Zero 17th Sep 2011 13:04

my Lady ... if you have an ICAO class 1 there's nothing to worry about the QCAA class 1!

blusky75 17th Sep 2011 13:43

LADY
 
wow...B777...he waited a long period to get the answer but at the end he got the 777:) they took only a week to give me the positive answer...now lets see if they take all the 4 weeks to send me the letter with the fleet assignment...i mhappy anyway but very curious to know where i ll go ;)

iranair 17th Sep 2011 15:09

How long till they give you an interview date after you fill out the online app?

blusky75 17th Sep 2011 17:56

just 3 days!

330airbus 17th Sep 2011 21:23

Did QR change the FCOMs to the newer ones?

zman 18th Sep 2011 02:47

interview atpl test
 
anyone have the most recent latestpilotjob gouge from the interview!
or is it the same that was posted a while back?

Iver 18th Sep 2011 13:33

Timing of incoming 787s
 
When are the first 787s expected to arrive (given the delays)? Will they get primarily the 787-900 version? If so, what would be the likely delivery schedule "assuming" Boeing can get it's act together and start deliveries to ANA in 2011? Should we expect to see Qatar 787s in 2013?

A more general question: would both Airbus and existing Boeing pilots be able to bid the 787s or would Airbus pilots stay on Airbus aircraft? Not sure if there is a policy on bidding different fleets (do you stay on your fleet or can you bid across fleets)?

SkyMan2011 18th Sep 2011 15:49

iranair,

After apply online expect to be invited for interview in a few days.
In my case, I got the email after 4 days! Very quick I think.
Cheers! :ok:

F14 18th Sep 2011 17:25

I noticed in the on-line application, they ask for height & weight info... Are there limits? I applied a while back and never heard anything except automatic reply. Do they inform you if you are not invited to Doha?
