Chin up Cavelino, master sees your loyalty and might give you the big hat next time. At the Goat you never have to wait long for management change.

Had 7 years Dubai 1 year Doha, its what you make of it. Positive people look to the positive, moaners do what they usually do and moan. Sure there are things that could be better, but there are worse places. Huge investment, growing infrastructure, entertainment and services but its not London, Paris or Dubai.

As always go back and ask what are you trying to acheive? Career progression, financial progression, a change or whatever. And if you don't like it you can leave. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.....

Qatar recruiting
 

Dear All,

Anyone with info regarding the hiring process for the 777 would be greatly appreciated.....:confused:
Are Qatar interviewing at the moment!? Could anyone who has gone through the hoops care to pass on any related information....it would be greatly appreciated.:ok:.BTW, your comments are very realistic and well put ArabianGeek.:DThank you....
Cheers,

RWTY:)

We are hiring and the hiring process can be found somewhere around here.

B777 is the only fleet currently taking on DEC. On all other fleets DEC hiring has been stopped due to too many captains plus a lot of FOs ready to be upgraded internally.

We need more FOs to be joining urgently and we have seen the numbers of newly hired FOs rising dramatically over the last months!

All comments regarding medical are correct. You better take out some personal cover as well in case you have a family to take care of. Whatever QR offers you is not enough!

right let's see how is that supposed to work with the current policy in place? New joiners get everything thrown to their feet and happily begin their training after 6 months of waiting and the old blokes resign due to various problems like roadster(roster), transfer, housing etc. Seniority means nothing in QR.:ugh:

"Hi,
I work in the states as a captain on the 320 series and have an interview with QR in march could anyone give me a real pic of what to expect and upgrade time on 320 or 330 how do you get treated and how much flight time a month and days off cost of living etc etc
cheers"

:confused:
I get it right? Are you considering leave an A320 left seat job in the USA to head to DOHA?
What you've been smoking/drinking mate?

Can anyone enlighten me as to what Licence you fly on in QR?
Is it A Qatari Licence, or a re-validation of your home country licence.
Many thanks

How to follow rules in QR?
 

at SNAM

Quote ... simple, just follow the rule if you like it or, if not, go away!



You're right, thats the attitude of surviving everywhere! But this does not apply to QR at all.

First: most of the rules are "established" by AAB and are not written down. You mentioned the deduction if you sleep in F class during Osaka flight. The only thing what is written in the manual is the reservation of the BC seat. Nobody is talkig about where not to sit!
Second: If you get punished by that, don't think that will happen on the correct way...no warning letter, no remark, no adherence to the Qatari Labour Law at all...you will realise it,when you want to check out from QR after resignation.They take your passport (to cancel RP) and only after that you have to clear the finance and will realise that 2/3 of a monthly salary is missing! Ha, if you don't agree, you stuck coz your passport is in their hand.

If you claiming to follow rules and matters of educated behaviour so address it to QR !! Here the rules are not to apply, only one rule is here: AAB, the egomaniac god

Anyway, everybody who is brave enough to join should keep in mind - soon or later they got you, somehow, somewhere - no matter what you do (or not do), the storybook in QR is full with bs!

Good luck

......As the adage goes....don't get mad....get even....:}

Absolutely right clipperchef. No rules in that zoo. The rostering permanently bends the rules the way they want. AAB does whatever suits him. People are intimidated, offended and scared to do anything. No respect for privacy or humanity whatsoever. The Indian mafia is everywhere blocking any incentives trying to infiltrate the zoo. Once occupied they poison everything and frozen ice age sets in. Young Qataries are flighting to get back and trying to take over the shop. Interesting times shall we see ahead. Sure you want to join? If I was f/o with 2-3 k hours not a chance, for what?

Can anyone enlighten me as to what Licence you fly on in QR?
Is it A Qatari Licence, or a re-validation of your home country licence.
Many thanks

Licence
 

at Donalde

You fly with a Qatari Licence, you'll can keep that when you leave again. The question is whever it is accepted where you go or not. So better to keep your homelicence in parallel

QR Embargo
 

Just heard that there is a hiring embargo at Qatar for non rated 777 DEC's!? Could anyone provide any info in regards to this!? :confused:Thanks.

Cheers,

RWTY

Hello guys,

Can anybody please tell me what's the salary for s/o's?

Many thanks for your replies.

Just to make it clear QR still hires DEC on all fleets despite the pseudo BAN advertised on the web. Bullsh%t my friend all under the table as many other things here or does anyone out there dare to oppose?

what should i study for the interview ?
thanks man

Snam QR prevents people from coming no one else!! Guys are doing the rest of the world a favour. They tell the truth thus preventing others from doing same mistake.

chilax.

Exactly..100% correct!:D
Nothing absolutely Nothing is done here to encourage people to come ..or to stay...

So many new applicants????

Where do you get your information from mate?

They are struggling to meet the demand.

And if we see some new guys filtering through, none of them actually is high calibre material!

Some reasons people are joining QR these days:

1) They will give you a typerating on a modern airliner for virtually nothing in return. A320/330/340 en 777 are the most sought after TRs around...

2) They come to make a quick buck...many of the guys joining now are coming from parts of the world where the salaries are significantly lower and where the local currencies usually are pegged to the USD. They come here, save money and usually run after 3 years...

3) To get a licence which is worth a little bit more than the standard ICAO licence

4) To get experience on heavy airplanes....

5) To run away from a politically or other dangerous situation back home...


In short, most people come and survive here a few years, use the compnay for personal benefits and than run away!

NOBODY is here out of a career decision....

Remember the golden Sandpit adaggio...

Dont come here for a career....you will leave in exactly the same position as the one you joined with...(and this is true in 99% of the cases)


SNAM....open your eyes!

Snam your eyes should very much concentrate on reading the books my friend not on pprune particularly being short of CU.
Wise judgment? Get your command first then try to make some wise judgments online only afterwards maybe weigh to move somewhere.

Just a friendly advise my friend.
Don't take it personally take it on the rocks!!!:ok:
