Airline Application form
Hi folks,
Looking for a bit of help/advice on the application process for the big boys like Qatar and Cathay.
Basically im unsure how to approach the infamous questions such as why do you want to work here etc?
I know you have to tell them what they want to hear to an extent but still get in stuff of good content. Not a 1 liner but also not an essay...
Would very much appreciate any pointers
Thanks

Might help if you think of the question as:
Why do you want to fly for a large legacy carrier like qatar or cathay
Maybe mention that you admire their heritage / humble beginings and what they've become
Maybe you like their route and fleet structure as well as what they have planned for the future and you want to be a part of it
Mention how you understand that a pilot is only as good as the training he/she receieves and you feel that qatars (or cathays) is world class and again want to be a part of it in order for you to reach your fullest potential
Seeing as working for such companies would probably mean relocating to their neck of the woods maybe try to infer how interested you are in far/middle eastern culture and would like living theire - they like this, less cost to them keep positioning you around
Loads of things you could mention / angles you could look at.
Please dont think Im being pissy but my 'answers' didnt require a phd and could have been easily reached with a bit of independant thought over a cup of coffee - helped get me into ba.
