With a recent change of ownership and brand investment, Oryx Virtual- formerly vQTR- is actively recruiting pilots with a renewed focus on simulating real-world operations to a high standard of safety and realism.

We are recruiting for flight deck positions across the entire real-world fleet, historic fleet (comprising A300, A310, A340-600, B747-8F) and the associated aircraft leases currently and recently flying with us (A330-OmanAir, B744-airACT). At the present time we also operate our B737-max8 on lease to Indigo Airlines, serving destinations in India from Doha.

With new aircraft add-ons being released in the future (A350) supplementing already highly popular aircraft within our fleet (A320,A380,B777,B787), the previous VA rules and regulations have been evaluated carefully and adjusted to become more suitably aligned with the operating environment that we simulate. These changes hopefully encourage our pilots to have renewed excitement and passion for simulating our operations, particularly long-haul sectors.

Our short haul routes around the Gulf region are just as exciting, operating the 737 max, Airbus A320 and a selection of widebody and freighter aircraft on shorter routes- all of course based on real-world operations. The airline has an order placed for Airbus A321Neo aircraft and that will be fantastic to simulate in the future.

If you have a passion for simulating real-world operations to a safe and realistic standard, we wanted to make you aware of the Oryx concept and offer to consider returning to or joining us in connecting passengers and cargo through Qatar to destinations worldwide.

The big achievement would be to have a truly global pilot base and so in the quiet hours in one region, our pilots on the other continents may be continuing the flying activity instead. A truly 24-hour operation spanning the time-zones, just as our aircraft do.
