There is no difference.

At least you got a response! At the end of next week, it will have been three months since I sent off my application with the standard acknowledgement and with no response to my subsequent enquiries.

Should I take heart from this (rhetorical question)?

The salaries are identical, regardless of what aircraft type you fly. There is no distinction between an A340 Captain or a Global Express Captain. A Captain is a Captain.

This is one of the reasons that there is very little movement between fleets. There is no financial incentive to move from a "smaller" to a "larger" aircraft.

You basically just try to get on the type that you like flying, whether it is the aircraft itself or the type of flying that that aircraft type does, ie short haul, long haul, m.85 at 45000' or M.78 at 33000', big crew, small crew, load the bags yourself or have someone do it for you etc.

Someone with Airbus time (and possibly no bizjet time) is very fortunate to get the opportunity on the Global because a number of well qualified bizjet pilots have applied and have been unsuccessful. You should enjoy it if you take the job, assuming you dont mind not having a roster and being on 24/7 call etc.

I don't know the status of the recruiting situation as of late but I don't think its finished yet. I'll find out what I can.

Cheers.

Hi Amiri01

I have still not heard anything from the agency about this position either.
Anything you could find out would be good

Thanks OBM

Hi OBM,

The Ops Control Centre is still undergoing a reorganisation so there has been no movement on the Ops Manager position. I understand that it will progress when there is a clear definition of the role.

I have heard that the timeframe is supposed to be within a month for the completion of the re-org but ...

The situation is understandably frustrating for those who have applied, but hang in there...

Cheers,

Amiri01

Hi Amiri01

OBM

Joining
 

Hi there, I wonder if you would be able to help with some info.
Once you have been through the interview it seems that you have to wait until a security check is done and then ???
If you happend to know how the process works it would most appreciate it.
Cheers:ok:

Hi, how did the interview process go?? Are they looking for Captains

Hi Amiri01

I don't suppose the ops reorganisation has happened?
Are they still looking for staff? etc etc etc

thanks

OBM

Hi again OBM. I believe the ops review is done and that short-listed candidates for the Grd Ops Manager position will be contacted after the Eid break so possibly as soon as next week.

B581, we are only recruiting Captains as far as I know. With the retention of the A310, that policy may have changed but if so, I am not aware of it.

To those that have pm'd, I will get back to you shortly.

Cheers,

Amiri01

Thanks I sent you a PM when U have time.

Head of Ground Ops
 

Hi Amiri01

Guess what, I got an e-mail telling me I had made it to the short list!

Thanks for all your help

OBM

Good luck old man. Hope to see you soon.
MW.

If the thanks are for me,then thank you, lets see if I get there first!

OBM

Congratulations OBM. All the best for the interview process. If you are successful, I hope it meets your expectations!

HELLO
how to apply in it? ny1!!

Oh Dear, that sounds ominous!
Well, nothing ventured nothing gained

Interview had, lets see how lucky I am!

Hey Old Man any news?

Second interview yesterday! hopefully I'll find out in the next 10 days!

This is for the head of Ground Ops though, not for a flying position

Amiri selection
 

I got a telephone from the agency telling me that I made a small mistake in my A320 Captain application but that other than that, all was ok with it.

I suppose I will be called for a selection sometime soon. I read the post in the beginning of the thread but can anyone tell me more specifically about the selection process:

a) is there technical testing on the A320 or is the technical test about general ATPL knowledge?
b)Is the sim test on the A320 and is it LOFT type or general handling / stick and rudder style? (I am asking because I saw in the agency's site that A320 rating is prefered but not a requirement)
c)Is there Pilapt style testing?
d)Is there a group exercise

Thanks

Hi Iver,

yes I did, I have been here now for approx 2 months and I am enjoying it !

OBM

Hi all pilots,

I just spoke with the CP last week and the operation still desperately needs A320/330/340 captains.

Mods, I don't now whether this post could be construed as advertising but I hope my advice can help some pilots secure a decent job. Just delete it if my post contravenes any guidelines.

If you have over 8000 hours total including at least 5000 hours in command with some on the Airbus, pm me and I'll see if I can get some hopefulls seen. If you don't have these numbers, please don't clog my inbox!

BTW, we have recently recruited from all over the globe including Brits from the majors, Aussies, Kiwis, French, Italians, Eastern European etc. and as far as I know, the "new recruits" are happy with their choice to come. I guess this is a positive reflection on the operation.

Cheers,

Amiri01

Amiri query
 

Hi,

Got 15000 total hours, 10000 heavy jet, 5500 330/340 with about 3000 command, 3000 current command 777...but not current 330/340.1000 707 and ex military qfi and VIP fleet trainer ..(PMs popes the Queen etc ).

What is the package on offer... Currently Ek captain so has to beat that ...
PM me for a CV if you like,

Thanks

MW:ok:

Rumour from our last EK captain to join is that the Amiri package is better (rumour only) and he is very happy to have made the move (fact).

If you can live with "sleepy" Doha and be comfortable with being on call 24/7 and fly to ad-hoc destinations anywhere in the world, then you could be happy here. I am not aware of any of our current expat pilots who aren't happy here and I don't think any have regretted the move.

Cheers,

Amiri01

cabin crew recruitment
 

Hi guys
did someone of you have some news about the recruitment for ccm position :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:???
thank you :ok:

hello everyone
anyone of you have interview as cabin crew with amiri soon?

QR mainline vs Amiri flight
 

I am now invited for selection for QR Airways main line. It took awhile after my application, about 3 months, but they came through with invitation. I have NO idea what I would fly but first, hope to get pass the process and get a job offer. A friend of mine there says he really likes it and encouraged me to apply so I did. Sure, they have brand new planes but what amazes me is how low the salary is to fly for a major carrier. I mean, even 11k a month is not very good for captain, and more so for wide body captain. Anyway, will give it a go and see what happens.

The today, I got a call from agent about Amiri flight asking if I was intereted for the A320 and I said yes. One guy hit it on the head when he said if you dont have another job, then give this a go and I need a job so soon I will know if I get invited to this as well. Not to sound like a whiner, but once again, the pay is poor for this kind of position. I know a guy who flies in ME on A320 who makes 15K US tax free per month, and rotates 1 month in and 1 month out, with all the trimmings. Now this is more like it but not many of these around. I think at least 15K is more like it, or even higher. I mean us x pats go away from our homes to do a job for them and they have tons of money, and yet we get paid low wages for this type of work. And then to be on stanby around the clock, forget going our for a night on the town for some serious beers. So, I see drawbacks to this operation in a few ways, but I need a job and if offered, likely take it.

Thanks for sharing your lifestory with us mate... :E

You just wasted our time, you will never pass the interview anyway...:mad:

Cloudbuster, if you get invited for screening with Amiri, don't bother pm'ing me for information.

We have pilots from many areas including ex-big name national carrier pilots and all are happy with their lot (as far as I know) and enjoy the operation. The conditions/pay are nowhere near as bad as you think. The 30-40 hours we fly each month is very comfortable and offers a decent home life without the fatigue that airline operations can sometimes induce.

Good luck with your QR interview!
