One word of advice. If you get invited for an interview/sim eval, read "Ace The Pilot Technical Interview". It will help pass the 50 question written test.

Qatar Airways is growing rapidly. They will be taking delivery of 25 A320's and one B777 a month for 2years starting in Sept/Oct. They also have orders and options for 350s, 380s, and 787s. For exact numbers check Wikapedia.

There have been many management changes in flight ops and HR recently. The one constant is the man at the top, the CEO. He has been CEO since the airline's founding in 1994.

Qatar is an Islamic state, however it is not as conservative as Saudia Arabia or Kuwait. Women can drive and vote. Crime is extremely low. The population of Doha is 80% expat.

The position is not a commuting one. My suggestion to you is that if you are considering commuting to look elsewhere.

Housing is provided, for now that consists of fully furnished 3BR apt for Capt, 2BR for F/O. Captains have been given the option of taking the housing allowance (approx. US$3300/mo) and living off the local economy.

If you come with and open mind and plenty of patience you should do fine.

Good luck to all!!!
