Qatar MIA & EWR "open days"
 

Just got an invite for an interview w/ Qatar in MIA and EWR for a F/O slot . Is there anybody out there with any gouge on the interview. How do they conduct it ?? Is there any written exam (Math or Tech.)?? On the e-mail they told me the sim would be in Doha; if I passed the first interview ...any word on how they do that as well (Equipment an profile).

The only things that I\ve been able to find on the forums here are kindda negative. There has to be some truth to it but in all honesty I would rather check it out myself ......no offense guys... So if there is anyone out there with any in, it would be great to have some gouge posted. If you don't feel comfortable posting the gouge just PM me.

Thanks

Questions to REALLY ask
 

This list in Not Exhaustive.

Will I be able to switch careers ? Am I qualified to do another decently paying job?

Will I be able to get the money I will continue to earn as a pilot, from my prior Investments?

If the above lead to a 'NO' Answer then :

Will I loose my Type-Rating / Currency soon?

Will I be unable to support myself & Family with the money I have saved till the time I retire?

Do I need to work to pay for living?

Do I want to relocate? Will my family cope?

Is it worth giving it a shot?

What if I cannot get in to The airline of my Choice?

If Any Doubt.

Then You will get your Answer!

Please feel free to Use Pilot Discretion to make your Choice

Dont be scared you got a job already mate . QR is desperate for pilots and they dont have a lot of apllications . All smart and good pilots going to Emirates and Etihad or Korean if they fail all 3 then there is always Doha and litle small man to take you .
O yea i forgot to say there was few pilots already in jail in Q.A for different reasons which wouldnt put them in jail in western world .
Aske youre wife if she like to be in place where in Sept all restourounts and shoping malls are closed all day except at night . And no mini scirts or bikini .
Youre salary looks nice but house and 2 cars + living cost ( starbucks caffee for 3 person is about 28 $ )
Come over lets see how long a western wife can take it .

Doha
 

The place sucks, much worse than Dubai or AUH. But if you have no job or want to upgrade to a nice big aircraft, give it a try.

Pursuit of The Goat is an admission of failure everywhere else. Jungle Jet Junkie, Brazpilot and ForzaLazio should be applauded for honesty and humility.

Those naturally selected for The Goat all share an important role in the Goat Airways ultimate destiny.

Congratulations.

"American will not come here...they will go to Dubai or Abu Dhabi with they wife and kids!Because in Dubai there is life!They might come here,but most of them will leave after six months.."

Those words are not from me ..but from a American colleague working here in Qatar airways..so i guess he knowns what he is talking about....
Wait and see who is right&wrong?
Cheers.

Crikey, is it not possible for you guys to give some actual information for those of us considering our options instead of some obscure hints about little men and goats?

Half of this stuff I don't even understand: Carrying a knife in the cabin? Can't leave the country for 3 months? (what they hold you hostage?), you are required to wear a hat while doing your walk-around: that doesn't seem too muck to ask.

As I understand it Emirates etc is better but hardly anyone is hiring now. Cathay has even canceled SO interviews.

In light of that, how about some concrete info?

Competitive mins?
Training contract?
Upgrade time?
rostering (min days off)?
Ease of commute (to Dubai US etc. if that is necessary)
Quality of training?
Etc etc

You can forget about commuting if you work for QR
As for roster, if you are not on 320 then it should be ok
Upgrade time can be approx. 5-7 years (Company min. 3 years in company with min. 5,000 hrs)
Quality of training? Good quesiton

You guys better inform yourselves
 

before you getting into something you might not like. This is a complete different ballgame here in the sandpit, anything else you have ever seen. You need to be open minded, ready to accept a complete change of life for you and your family. Forget commuting anywhere, you sit in the dust-bowl until your 21 days of leave is up, thats it. And what you read here is for the most part true, everything comes with a price-tag. :E

In the ME you are not allowed to leave the country, unless you have approval from your sponsor I.E. QR!

Carrying knives....to cut a long story short sometimes upper management gets involved in our day to day ops. One captain refused to carry VIPs with daggers on his flight. The guys did not want to hand over the weapon so he denied them boarding. CEO got involved. Capt was offloaded and received warning letter for insubordination. Replacing Capt accepted to do the flight against all regulations but as a favor to the boss. (That person now is a chief pilot!)



One little piece of advise: be sure to get all info before coming here! Its a different world all together!

By The Way, there is NO 777 base planned in the states for at least another 3-4 years so dont let them fool you during the roadshow!

If chief of katamites want me wear knives I wear it. What is problem? Goat is like in home army. Yes sir, no sir, yes sir, all day long I march sir, and only good thing I say sir. What is problem if do as told? Just do. I here of captian carry 357 magnum + amo in goat cockpit. What is problem, katamite tell him do it, he did, happy everyone :8

For interview ForcaLazio, I just make hello and put jar of vaseline on table, all laughing ha ha ha. Get job no question :8

Guys knock on the HR door, and ask for a job.
Perhaps falling all over themselves, in the process, to get on that shiney jet.
Once there, they bit@h and moan.
Tough s..t, shurlock, get used to it.
You asked for a job, now start actually working for a living.
Don't like the company, or its employment conditions?
Pack your bags and leave.:rolleyes::rolleyes::{:{:{:{:{
