QR time to command?
 

Interested in joining QR, with all the new aircraft coming what would be a realistic time to command?

Thank you for your replies!

CB

42 months friend subject to 5000 hrs and clean personal & training records. If you meet the above criteria, you automatically get selected without any discrimination. This is one of the positive things in QR Flt Ops.

Finnaly something good in QR.
And how long for the fleet upgrade ? (A320/A330/340 etc)
Tks

Thanks for the quick and no bs response!

ugrade requirement is 3 years(36 months) and 5000h.(theoric)
Don´t known about this 42 months..?
But of course the bigger the company become,and the slower the expansion rate is, this may take more than 3 years before you may be selected...
Fleet "upgrade":...i would say around 2 years..variable..depends of the need, and depends as well of the number of people who doesn´t want to move to 330 or 340...

In Theory ( OM Part A chapter 8)


Time before being considered for upgrade:

3 years ( to count from day of final line check ) and min TT of 5000hrs heavy jet.

Time before fleet transfer:

2 years minimum ( new rule )



In real life....


QR has , as of today, 840 pilots of which +/- 450 are FOs. Currently the upgrade capacity is 4/month on A320 en 2/month on A330. (72/year)
Do the calculations yourself....But three years is VERY optimistic.:ugh:
