Hi guys,
is it better to apply through the agencies or directly with QR?
Thanks

A320 T/0: PFD VIEW
 

Hi Guys, just happen upon a video I thought would be good to share. It'll be useful for non airbus types preparing for their QR assessment. It shows the PFD throughout the take off profile.

Is true that QA managers have canceled vacations for pilots in QA?I mean, I just read a post that says it, from this moment no 42 days leave for pilots in QA.....Please someone from the company tell us something....

pilotillo , As you have read in the other post , why do you need to ask ?!

Yes it has happened ! No leave till next april for pilots !!

I have sent my application 2 weeks ago, but have not got answer not even an automatic reply mail. Now I don't know whether I have misspelled my email or the company doesn't want me.

9 weeks waiting for the contract... It was suppose to take no more than 4. Called them, they said it was still processing... This wait is worth at least a T7 !!! :} .......... Honestly I'll take any type ...... I'm getting desperate ..... Help help help.... 121.5 can somedy help me ! I NEED THIS JOB ASAP !

I have read all of this thread and saw some great feadbacks about the interview process including the Sim Evaluation.

av8tordude has described his check ride as the following:
My simulator ride consisted of two circuit pattern:
– Takeoff to 3000ft, stayed in the pattern, vectors to intercept the localizer, and land to a full stop.
– Takeoff to 3000ft (received an APU fire), stayed in the pattern, vectors to intercept the localizer, and land to a full stop.
thanks av8todude for sharing your experience with us.

Is the Sim Eval the same for all fast track second officers, or its different for those who hold an A320 type rating? I heard your not allowed to use AP but are we allowed to use any of the following: Flight directors (FD), Autothrust, V/S FPA (the bird).

Airbus.eagle:ok:

airbus.eagle,

Interviewed for regular F/O slot. Sim profile seems to be more or less the same for everybody. Personally, I had to perform only one T/O and climb out to 3000 feet followed by ILS and full-stop landing. Was then directly repositioned at 3000 feet on downwind for second ILS. No ATH/R, no FD. Don't know for those already rated on the A320. Got the good news almost 6 weeks post-interview. Still waiting for contract and fleet assignment, but only 3 weeks since good news.

Good luck!

Second Attempt
 

hi guys
Has anyone re-apply for a second try?
I did my interview on Nov and screwed up my Sim ride on the A320 (with no motion):ugh:..5H1T Happens, they told me that i have to wait 6 months to Re-apply which i most probably will :ouch:
Is there a difference in the interview for the sencond attempt?

Good luck

Interview
 

Hello Guys.... I have interview end of the month, just want to know how many days before can I expect to get my travel details/ticket etc? Thanks

About a month and a half from email to interview date. Travel details likely to be received within a few days only before interview (can be very short notice!).

Hi,
Can anyone confirm LST on checklist means License Skill Test?
Is it about the date you passed your current rating?

Thanks

What's the longest time someone waited for the contract? I'm on week number 9 and counting...

I am on week number 9 to ... only for the answer!!!

Thanks Skull & CDNATPL :ok:

gdukkoq 9 weeks are so long :sad:, Hopefully you will get widebody after all this wait though ;). I think you should have the news before Christmas as you have called them last week to check. Good Luck

SIM EVAL
 

For me it was one take-off with climbs, descents with turns to a heading then radar vectors to ILS full stop landing..session over. It has now been over two weeks since that eval. day. Still waiting for e-mail.

Anyone else notice they reposted the jobs on their website? I saw it today so I logged into my account to see if I needed to reapply and there were 2 new items that I needed to be filled in that were not there from the last time I applied. I checked it against the copy I have from the first app. Anyone else have to add a few things?

@stud7094: correct, me too. But now i did not get an email confirmation anymore. Last time i got.

I have updated my application before they reposted the jobs on the 11th and I did not get any confirmation mail either.

Well i guess there is nothing to worry about.

I applied for the f/o position. I' m also interested to fly for QR Executive. Does anyone know if i have to fill in again the complete form in the QR Ex. Section of the webpage?

Tx

Probably yes. But they could ask you during the interview what you want more. They did for me, I have airline and corporate background, but I prefer airline without questions

That's what I had to update as well. Resubmitted but no email this time.

Can anyone working for QR confirm that the info about QR on PPJN.com is correct? It was updated yesterday and states:

"Only looking for widebody experienced crew. Narrowbody recruitement on hold." and that the requirement is now 500 hours on type for SO!?"

QR have just updated their jobsite and nothing of the above seems like being the case.

Well i guess we just have missed the boat. Somehow this is what i expected.
Damm i really wanted to go the airline. Fed up with corporate :yuk:

only Longhaul?
 

That seems a bit strange indeed- They just updated their own requirements and says nothing like it. I wonder where ppj have that info from?

Hi pilotillo,
I didn´t get bad news but when I was there they told me the longer they lasted on answering, the better for me... I don´t know if this helped...
Good luck

Don't worry guys, anyone can post on ppjn...even wrong things! they still need a lot of pilots....don't believe all this bul:mad:!
Maybe someone who doesn't want other people to apply before him ;)
I did the interview 4 weeks ago, and still a technical test!

Just wanted to tell you guys, my friend who started training 2 weeks ago was told there was a training backlog. Hi\e has completed his indoc and it will be approx 2 months before his starts his type rating training.

whats he doing in the mean time before sim?

av8tordude is right, there is a backlog. So I believe that another dose of patience is needed :-)

av8tordude what is your mate doing while he is waiting for the sim? are they allowing them to study company material / operating manuals etc etc?

Really tired of waiting for the contract... 9 weeks... I can see number 10 coming this thursday... :ugh: ... And they told me no more than 4 weeks. Good thing I did not resign yet...

Don't worry gduk, at least you'll get one. I'm still waiting for an invitation ( if i ever get one). One pluspoint: i'll have a lot of time to study.

can anyone who has a fleet assignment comment on the amount of joining paperwork you have to complete before reporting to doha? i have been planning on spending a month abroad with friends just chilling out before class starts and need to know if that is realistic or not. also i am hearing that QR requires you to pay up front for some things, specifically the 2 medical checks, and they reimburse you later. how much money should i bring to get started up?

Jibba Jabba...I sent my friend an email and just waiting for him to respond. I'll post what I find out.

For those interested...

1. Qatar will give you QR 1750 for food.
2. 50% advance pay (QR 10750) is available if you are in need of money, which will be taken out on your next check.
3. Company van will be available for 1-week to shuttle you between hotel & the training center, after which you must provide your own transportation. Rental cars range from QR 1800 & up.
4. Bond (18-month prorated) is taking out of your check from day one.
5. Medical exam cost QR 1436. Qatar will reimburse you.

My friend said he spent initially $2500.00 when he arrived. He recommends to have a credit card at your disposal or have at least $3000.00 to get you through until you get your first check (unless you take the pay advance).

Still got no news... borred! 10 weeks since the interview!

victor, i thought you had your interview beginning of nov. (if you were the guy on the same date as me). that has just been around 6 completed weeks yet....

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a list of destinations for the 320 mainline fleet.

Thanks

Qatar Airbus Captains
 

Can anyone tell me if the A320 capts, also fly the A330? :ok:

No MFF in QR.
