Hello all,

For those who passed Qatars assessment and are in the holding pool waiting there is a WhatsApp group.
For confirmation we require evidence of proof send to q[email protected]
Welcome swimming in the pool

Any email being sent will be treated accordingly. Please don't forget evidence of being accepted for the holding pool and phone number you want to use.

For all newcomers please be advised the email address is mentioned above and proof is required. Without proof we are unable to process as we have had to much spam and unwanted entrance in the past our apology for this.

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

As we have received some email with no proof or unclear proof we would like to shortly highlight again.
Please send appropriate proof which is traceable back to your as a person rather then general knowledge.

Thank you in advance

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

It seems to be a bit unclear for some newcomers but sending an email with the message : Assessment done and placed on hold
Unfortunately is not acceptable. This can be written down by anyone and does not provide any proof.
Please be so kind to send a screenshot of the email that was sent to you to tell you that you are being placed in the holding pool.
Bare in mind this email will be treat confidential but is for your own protection when placed in the group.
As the group is private I am sure you can appreciate only people enter that are actually in the same position as you.
We cannot accept any requests without proof our apology for that.

Happy relaxing at the pool.

Hello all,

So great to see that slowly people are getting DOJ. Maybe still people out there that are not in the holding pool app but want to be in the app?
Make sure you sent the full proof email received from the company to the email mentioned to authorise your entrance.

We are looking forward to work all together in the future.

Second Officer Update
 

Yup they are also in the group and have a separate group as well so feel free to join

Good news you all that they re opened more application opportunities. So I am sure more of you are going to be in the holding pool soon and feel free to come swimming together with us.

Hello all,

As we receive so many emails without phone number we would like to remind you that swimming without a phone number is can be dangerous.
In order to reach you in case of drowning it is vital to provide us with a number ;-).
So please don't forget not only to bring your own towel but to provide us with a number.

I hope you all are not foregoing other opportunities while waiting for QR to call.

Hehe, I am sure we are not forgetting. But if you are a swimmer please join us and you can see the time of swimming isn't that bad for all of us.

Hi ....

Nice to see there is an enthusiastic joiners for QA. I have just been offered an interview in Dec. Just a few queries :-
How long most of you have been waiting, after confirmation? Why such a long waiting period ? Is it worth the wait?

Good luck on the joining date....
Cheers:ok:

​​​​​​Actually the wait time in the talent pool is not so long anymore. Last year was an exception due to the blockade, which completely changed the scenario and manpower requirements for Qatar.

Now that everything is settled and they figured out their numbers things have started to move on a faster pace again. I'd say the average wait time right now is 6 months.

Bear in mind that plans change REALLY fast in this part of the world. What is true today might not be a month from now, so don't take those numbers as a hard rule, but barely a ballpark figure for the current situation.

The key is to be patient and wait for your turn, but always have a plan B.

WTF are you talking about, I am personally in the holding pool since March 2017, not that I care anymore I've got a good job now but still, 6 months might be for Boeing, you do the math for the bus drivers.

I'm sorry, indeed I forgot to mention I was talking about Boeing rated candidates. For Airbus things seems to be quite slow.

Wouldn't it also depend on which position you're applying for, Cpt or FO, and which fleet, Airbus or Boeing, and if WB or NB?

Of course I don't want to piss people who have been waiting for almost 2 years but i don't really think Qatar follows any kind of seniority when they allocate a joining date. There are very experienced pilots or people who performed well at the interview, getting a DOJ a few months after the interview. There are so many people interested in joining Qatar and they can, understandably, really pick what they want.

Hi,

This will be the same, when you enter and announce yourself as So you will also be add to the SO talent pool

What is the average hold pool time?

Hi Guys

Would appreciate if you could shed a light on how the interview process at Doha was, since you all are in the holding pool?
You could PM me.
Thanks in Advance

Welcome and congratulations that is good news.
Bare in mind apart from the holdingpool WhatsApp group there is also a DOJ whatsappgroup.
Feel free to join and come and see whom are starting together with you and perhaps going through similar questions sharing the answers together.
Kind regards Pool cleaners

Hi,
If we look at the people in the WhatsApp group we would say yes. After the blockade things have been slowing down and nobody had a DOJ for a while. After a while things started to pick up initially with the Boeing FO's only. Thereafter the Boeing Captains started slowly getting DOJ and now also slowly the Airbus WB FO's are starting.
There is no fixed logic in sequence of assessment dates as such as there are always exceptions being made but I am sure Qatar is trying to be fair as much as they can.

Kind regards,

Pool cleaners

In our opinion the process was simple and straight forward,
After a small introduction about the company everybody has to do the ATPL questions. Thereafter the group is being split up for interviews with different people. When passing the interview you have the simulator.
This is pretty much the sequence.
Good luck
