Separating cargo from pax is only a possibility at the moment. Exactly what the bases would be, and the terms and conditions has also not been finalized. If it happens, I believe it will go very senior.

Seniority? When did that ever mean anything here? They guys who know the right people will get it, IF it even happens.

Seniority seems to mean more under Helmut. I just learned today that upgrades are now being done by seniority. But you're right there is considerable doubt that it will happen. I heard they costed it out and discovered the current plan would cost the company a million USD a month.

is it possible for an A330 FO at QR upgrade to the left hand seat provided he meets the requirement for fast track wide body command? Or does he still have to go through A320 command first? If so how long will it take to be back on A330?

FYI people I know personally have been denied chances at an upgrade for reasons like a sick call X months prior to the selection process. And then a recent upgrade I flew with last month couldn't even string enough words together in English to tell me what part of town he lives in.
There is no "normal" here, some people get incredibly lucky and others incredibly unlucky. That's how it is here. I don't know your situation but if you have a steady job at home don't leave it to come to Qatar.

From a friend at QR, that's a very senior schedule. Not happening at least for a few years. Plan on being away most of the time. Average 5 days off per month. Forget about commuting. You have to live there. Upgrades could be 5 yrs, could be never, constantly changes. Also having a few hickups/sk calls can eliminate you from a upgrade when the time comes. Yes there is a training bond. He would not recommend going to QR unless you plan on making it your last step. He also mentioned they're non union and could be let go even as little as a few sk calls. Unless you plan on staying down there he says you're overall better off in the us.

Upgrades usually go from right seat to left seat transition 90% of the time...Anywhere from 3-6 years on all fleets if you pass the upgrade interview...Many are career FOs who couldn't pass the upgrade interview...They can choose to work in Pilot Selection and earn $15,500 per month while flying once in a while...
