My Arms being bitten off too. Any info please...I feel so honored to be so desired.

[PosClimb]

You have to pay them $100,000 to work for them.

Did they tell you to bring a certified check?

[kissmyjetpipe]

They asked for lots of stuff, funny thing is I wasasked to go down and get my licence sorted and my medical, then fly to shannon to collect the plane, so whats the 100,000 thing all about. please spill more info

There is another thread, referencing a pay for Type Rating, and Line flying time. I don't think it applies to Type rated, experienced crews. Obviously supplementing the company income with pay for training wannabes.

They want me to get my license sorted ASAP, so they can get me to work. In the present climate, a company that seems prepared to pay decent rates for experienced crew, and do it now is probably OK.

Other than moaning about pay for training from wannabes, I can't find to much on Jordan Aviation, Good, bad or ugly.

Have you looked at days off/holiday entitlement?:eek:

[plumponpies]

Or their routes!.... Bagdad!!!!:}

[MuddyBoots]

Plane Dumb

Yeah I've seen the entitlement. While not up to UK standards, about par for most of the overseas contracts. China, Korea, and Japan, have better contracts, but it's gonna take months to sort those jobs out. This one is now, and it pays, and its not in Lagos.:E

Cheers

[holyflurkingschmitt]

Can anybody shed any light on there T&C's, Roster etc and is it commutable?

Are you 73 or 76

I also got the call.

Cheers in advance.

HFS:ok:

[bear11]

Boots,

fair point, but I would politely point out that you best make very sure that it does pay. This is not a point specific to Jordan Aviation, but there is a certain type of airline that is all over you when they are short of people, but who can develop severe amnesia over pay when things aren't as tight as they were, or when you turn into the uppity pilot quoting MELs or allowed weights or FTLs or developing the squits because you're being asked to fly somewhere really scruffy, or asking for a training allowance because you're a one man cockpit. I presume you have done a search on prune for previous threads on this subject?

[MuddyBoots]

Yeah

I'm well aware of that. I've at least got a couple of assessments coming up with carriers of known reputation, so I might just hold off for a while. The money hasn't run out yet.

HFS

I'm 737. Since they're so desperate, T's and C's may be negotiable. Now if it ain't in writing, nor in the bank, then who knows. As Plane dumb said, some spots they're flying into are, to say the least, sporting.:eek:

Cheers

Stay Safe:}

[holyflurkingschmitt]

Just thought i'd bring this thread back up !!

Has anyone gone here? or know anyone who has?

Just wondering what the place/conditions are like etc

Cheers in advance.

HFS:ok:

Converting your JAR license into the Jordanian equivalent shouldn't be a problem, as long as you have all your papers/logbooks in order. Give them a call to have your questions sorted out with the main source (Telephone : +962 (06) 4892282 ).

[oyani]

Is there anyone currently flying at Jordan Aviation that can provide some plane facts about the flying and the company?

[Boingboingdriver]

Brilliant website:eek::ugh::ooh::=

Capt STD:E

[oyani]

please stop putting stupid remarks. We are trying to find out information that will affect the future of our familly. So can some one please provide some facts about Jordan Aviation.
Thanks

[IFLy4Free]

I just received an offer from them also.

[captjns]

I got from them offer either but it is totally different to the one advertised on the web. I mean climb to 350.... As I saw they pulled all the adverts from Climbto350.com

If you have the time... what were the differences between the T&Cs on 350 versus their actual offering?

[subsonic69]

well one thing is for sure. theyre hiring like crazy.

theyve sent visas to like 3 of my other colleagues too. the offer was okay, but you have to keep in mind that Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrain, and Doha is far more safer than in Jordan.


Besides it looks like they really want to get people asap. specially Haj is coming up.

if ever interested, contact Hari instead of the admin email.

here is the website: http://www.jordanaviation.jo/

hope this helps.

[Sitting Bull]

Does this company really exist?

[121ace]

What a silly question

[ICEMAN757200]

Hi Subsonic69, How was the offer? Was it on the B767?
THX
I.M.:ok:

[subsonic69]

not for 767 .. but for 737...

2 of them accepted the almost US$4K salary. but thats for LAME

[flox]

subsonic
Haj is finished for this year. And don't worry about safety in Jordan. According to Wikipedia 2 B737 fly for Bouraq, that is Libya, ( Indonesian company of the same name stopped operation some years ago) and one for Safi, Dubai based Afgan airline. Parc was recruiting for them with a note "at least 2 overnights per week in Kabul".
I met Jordan Aviation crew on 737 in Khartoum, Sudan in 2005. Not really happy with "on time payment'.
They operate more like wet lease company then airline. And it's clear what kind of
places one can expect.

[subsonic69]

Hey Flox

thanks for the heads up ... and I hope most of the people that is accepting their offers know what they're getting into ..

[piratepete]

Watch out for their CP, Bananarama or something, a real scum bag, cant be trusted and a problem with the bottle.......

[Mile High Nutcase]

Anybody know if Jordan Aviation is interested in frozen ATPL holders with 260 total time. Non type rated.

MHN

[Airless7183]

you need a type rating and at least 300 hrs on type

[B737rider]

This... hmmm shall we call it an "operator" or a "sorry establishment that has got a hold of some aircrafts" is really a place that you guys shall stay away from! I have never seen such bunch of low class bandits in aviation in my whole time...
Dont bather to ask what dey do to you if you get involved with them...just stay FAR AWAY please!

[julie marshall]

there is another thread 'jordan aviation' under the middle east section.

[Tayar]

You better have careful, this operator are shaky. It treat is pilots no good. You make are to fly many hours and the eqipment is very low mantenance. You is no going pay in the final month. Jordan very beautiful but you see to work in elsewere operator. I have alot of frends who will fly there and did not geting paid. I fly for Prestige Jet now and this is good operator to operate for. But careful for bul!!!! around their for Prestige Jet.

Send mesage to me to give infomation you wanted.

[SKI]

All I can say about this, is there is not a barge pole big enough(on the planet earth) to use with this Jordan aviation, and believe me I have worked in Lagos!!!

I would not let my pet dog work there!

[justdontdoit]

Friend of a friend worked for this company and said there are a few (very few) good people there. His experience was not positive...they never did anything to help get his work permit, didn't pay fine for his not having a permit which has to be paid before you can leave the country, were late paying him (and there were a number of folks who didn't get paid for months apparently as a way to intimidate them), tried to screw him out of about many thousands of dollars on final pay, didn't see anything wrong in demanding pilots fly aircraft that were not legal/overweight/carrying hazmat, and their opinion of a written contract is that it means what they want it to mean. :mad: In short he says stay the hell away from them.

40 flight attendants from Indonesia were stranded in Amman after JA brought them there, trained them and then never put them on a plane. The embassy had to buy their tickets back to Indonesia.

3 American flight attendants also had to buy their own tickets home and did not get paid correctly. A lot of mystery deductions once you do get paid and do not even thing of asking for a calculation of the deductions....

[nooo]

they have a BIG crack at one of there A/C it was in the hanger 2 months ago due to bad ops in chad , i daut that they can fix it :=
