Qatar Airways Application Reference Number???
 
Hi everybody,

I would appreciate a help regarding following issue:
I want to apply to Qatar Airways for Flight Deck Crew position, more exactly First Officer position. I visited Qatar Airways career web site, created profile, filled with data and submitted the application (pressing "Submit" button at the end of the filling application process). After completing the application and submitting it I received e-mail with subject: "Job submission for the position First Officer (Job Number: AIR000MB) at Qatar Airways" - with no any Application Reference Number. Talking to some friends and colleagues I have been told that I should have received Application Reference Number. I referred back to application, checked that all the required data were entered, properly formatted, files attached... and submitted application again. I received the same message as before but no Application Reference Number again??? I asked a friend of mine to pass through my application with me and check if everything was done in proper manner - everything seemed fine.
Is there anybody experiencing the same problem??? Some explanation for the reason why I was not provided with Application Reference Number??? I want to call somebody from Qatar Pilot Recruitment but don't have any name and phone number to do a follow up and check the status of my application.
Any help... explanation, phone number, suggestion how to solve this issue is welcomehttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/smile.gif

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,

Regards to all!

Another question : Lets say you already sent you online app, and that later you want to edit just some details : Do you have to re clic on -submit- (last page) once you`ve edited your stuff ?

Thanks

Thanks pilotcpb, great stuff! :ok:
Hopefully you will get the good news soon!

Offer of employment
 
Hi guys,

I got congrats mail on SEP 13th and it said I would receive the offer of employment within 4 weeks.
I'm in 5th week but have't got it yet.

I sent mails to some people at HR asking where they are in the process but no answer:{
As some people said in this thread, maybe they are so busy that it takes some extra time.
I understand but getting very nervous.
Has anyone experienced this? Did you get it eventually?:confused:

DragOverLift 20th Oct 2011 09:19

Give them a call. Forget Email. They are submerged!

gdukkoq 20th Oct 2011 16:29

I suppose some here received the same email. But I have a small question, what does "The next step in the process is for us to gain approval for your Appointement" does it mean they will find out if they have availability for me or I need to give them my approval for the next step, in this case I need to email them back to get an offer ?

Below the full message.

We are delighted to inform you that you have successfully passed the Qatar Airways Flight Deck selection process.
*
The next step in the process is for us to gain approval for your appointment.* Following this we will issue a formal offer of employment which should take no more than 4 weeks.* This letter will be your formal offer of employment and will also contain your fleet allocation.* *
*
*
Once again, thank you for your interest in a career with Qatar Airways and we look forward to seeing you in Doha soon.

Any DEC`s Out There
 
Just wondering if the sim ride is any different than what is described in the rest of the forum eg. do DEC`s get RTO, engine failure, GA with engine failure etc.

Thanks

SkyMan2011 20th Oct 2011 23:16

Just reply the email accepting the job offer.

nov 21st
 
hello people

I do have my interview on nov 21st FO! and there are some thinks i'll like to have clear before i go,
In the test; the Performace questions are: ASDA, TODA, V speeds, Lemac/Temac MAC calculations? or just definitions:confused:, I got the latestpilots.com question bank and the ACE book, is that enough???? or do i have to go to NASA and get the POH of the Atlantis???
In the ride; is that safety pilot someone rated on the type (A330, B777) or another applicant just like me (that'll :mad:).

thanks

winch launch 23rd Oct 2011 16:23

Hi,

I am sorry if some of my questions have been covered already but the thread is so long now that I probably missed lots of info!

Could anyone tell me about the rosters on the 777 for FOs. How many hours per year? Are hours sleeping in the crew rest counting towards that total:O?
What's the typical money take home per month on that fleet?
And finally what's the time to command (to medium haul or even straight onto an other wide body) for a chap like me with 4500 TT including 1500 on wide body aircrafts?

Thanks!

WL

Homo Ludens 23rd Oct 2011 17:46

Winch:
- 899, or very close to;
- no, they do not count (but you'll get paid for them);
- approx $us 10 000
- as per today - 5 to 6 years, right to left.

Anything else?
Cheers!

QR Interview : Tech quiz
 
Hi pilots,
A question to the guys that went to QR Interview : Are you allowed to use calculator/CX2 during the ATPL quiz ?

Thanks for your answer.
Cheers

maddog37 23rd Oct 2011 22:35

Yes, you are... but it is not necessary. Good luck

ITO 23rd Oct 2011 22:43

Hi Maddog,
Thank you very much for your answer. I presume that you`ve been already through the whole thing ?
I would like just to x-check with the process event : After completing the online APP, have you been sent a letter from the recruitement asking you to complete some more details ? If Yes, how long after this letter have you been contacted again with an Interview date ?

Thanks.

jibba_jabba 24th Oct 2011 02:34

Best to go to a road show if you can. its all done really quickly. Sorry, dont know about being contacted from HR. They are swamped, as you would expect. I am awaiting a go/no-go email this week. Its happens fast(3-4weeks) once you have gone through it all.

G'day

I am looking to find from the ppruners here as when and where is the next road show for Qatar.I believe that I have missed the one in Australia that took place few weeks ago.
I would also like to find out from guys/girls who have previously been invited for the interview as to what are the right channels to obtain an Interview. i have filed online applications and there is still nothing i have heard from the HR from Qatar yet.

I have over 3000Hrs with turbine time and GA experience with full ATPL.Would i be able to get a look in by qatar at all ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

Interview with Qatar
 
Hello all,
I have an interview coming up next month, looking for any info on the interview process... Any advise! Please let me know. Any info on roster? How many days off per month? On a320 upgrade time, I have a320 time does it help, over 8000 hours total, and FAA ATP.


Thanks

jibba_jabba 26th Oct 2011 03:40


QR just announced that the A320 is going to yet another "Cream Spot" This time in Libya. I have been offered a PIC slot on this Machine, but it seems like life on the A320 is not much to brag about besides having to live in the Sandbox.
Coming from the left seat of the 744 and other Heavy Machines, QR told me that the A320 is the aircraft they need people on right now as a lot of guys recently quit. So this is what they offer.
I have asked in previous posts if someone (PIC's) on the A320 could enlighten us on how quality of life is on this machine but so far Nothing.
So far what I can gather is 90 Flight Hours a month and 160 Non-Payable Duty Hours approximately, max 8 days at home and max 3 in a row. Some European destinations, but don't get to fly there often, and not many layovers.
(correct me if I am wrong)

I am asking....is a PIC position on the A320 at QR better than a PIC job on the B737NG in Asia ?

Anyone please?

D-Wind
actually a public answer to D-winds questions would be great! :ok:
Seems like its a good gig (QR) but still needs to compete financially with EK! Still, it is slightly better than airlines in Oz, except possibly virgin?
I am waiting for the confirmation email, I assume I will be on the 320 as a f/o, as it seems they are very short in this area. I am mainly going for the experience, and hopefully wont get worked to death, but its looking like thats what is going to happen on the 320? Any current 320 roster would be great and news on the training slots and time from fast track s/o to f/o.

Also if you take company accom, do you still get the allowance?

albacantik 26th Oct 2011 16:45

how is it to work for QR??
 
if my medical goes well, i am joining QR!!

BUT before, i would so much love to know how is it to work for QR??
i read lots of people write but, is it really that strict to work for them?

and some people even say...
working like that (how much they work, how strict, following the rules)
doesnt make enough money ...
really??

i know that once i start working for QR - that means i can not leave 2years at least unless i wanna pay penalty lol

please anyone help!!

thank you in advance!

(correct me if I am wrong)
your mostly correct.

I am asking....is a PIC position on the A320 at QR better than a PIC job on the B737NG in Asia ?
the only thing i would say about that is, the Asia contracts are great right now, but they are just that.. time limited renewable contracts. The job a QA has no limit. You have a job as long as you keep doing it to standard, it all depends how long you can do it or how long they will put up with whatever it is you dish out (if anything).

jibba_jabba

if you take company accom, do you still get the allowance?
seriously ?? are you really assuming that would be the case. it really does not have to be said but the answer is obviously NO.

albacantik
its all what you make of it. As i have mention countless times in the past, i have been here a decade and its all ok. Living in this region can be somewhat challenging for some. This is definitely not the worst place to live, but then the same argument can be made that its also not the best place to live either. One thing is for certain, it is extremely safe, probably the safest place i have lived to date. as for the airline, Yes they work you to the limits at times, Yes the goal posts change all the time.. whats applies today will not apply tomorrow. The airline does not care about your personal issues in anyway. The basic mentality is that you come here to work, and thats exactly what they expect nothing more nothing less. Families make life much more challenging in this region. I see some people make a good time of it all and i see some struggle to no end.. again, its all what you make of it. make sure you have a 4x4 for desert getaways, a boat for tranquility at sea, and take full advantage of the unlimited ID90 travel (best done off peak times) then its not so bad.

jibba_jabba 27th Oct 2011 11:09

thanks for posting sample 320 roster.
What do the ======= (arrows you say) mean?
Can F/O's expect similar roster?


if you take company accom, do you still get the allowance?
This was asked because I assumed that if you get company accom then the cost of the accom was deducted from the 12000 Riyal and you get the difference, but thanks for clearing that up.

captain.weird 27th Oct 2011 20:32

Hi there Devine Wind,

the first flight is QR 482, so Istanbul. Are you at the end of the workingday, so DOH - IST - DOH, at home or will you stay in Istanbul and then going to DOH, an do the flight 110 (Dubai)?

I doubt it is:
Day 2: DOH - IST - DOH (Total of 9 to 10 hrs I think)
Day 3: DOH - DUB - DOH (Total of 5 to 6 hrs..)
And then 3 days standby.. not the worst deal I think..?? Or did I something wrong?

I am in the same boat as you are. They are a little behind due to the Ramadan holiday and their growth factor. They will get around to you though.

Listen up Mate,
you best understand that if this airline finds out anyones true identity on this forum that person will be subject to immediate termination if not worse. having said that, if that was indeed someones month schedule it would be extremely easy to find out who is giving away company information and thus subject to legal investigation. In the middle east working for a state run airline, thats the last thing you would want to have happen.

They encourage you to bring your wife but, you must pay for her ticket and arrange for her visa.
