Who would need a friend when we can find such a ferocious one online, huh?

Xamil, not having an AOC they're theoretically not entitled to recruit or assess you (this is my understanding of what's written above) which pretty much makes the whole thing illegal from the start. I would give it a few more days and see if anyone here has a better idea or explanation, if not I would seek legal advice.

As per the contract you have to pay them nothing as long as you withdraw more than 30 days in advance.

Don't get me wrong, I still think you should be slapped to death by a mad elf solely based on the fact you agreed to pay such amount to a company without even researching enough about it first But of course it isn't that simple, we all make mistakes and I've been helped before too!

Good luck

We have received a lot of question regarding this opportunities and reviewed some contract, as well as contacting the company.

1. From their websites, echo-air is not an AOC nor a UAE GCAA AOC Applicant to date (Feb 2017) , and the offer is for the assessment not job offer, legality is not clear, the Office and phone is not handle by the correct representative and different city with the office

2. I have been contacted with at least 5 pilots and some of them (sorry to say, Paid), we reviewed the contract and clearly it is an assessment and not job offer, you should carefully review the contract and ask further questions.

3. There are many realiable sources worldwide and in UAE the job websites who have access to all operator is flitejob.com and we clearly inform them No Money involve except some cases such as flydubai for self sponsored non type rating, where the non type rated pilot pay them self for type rating and no job guarantee.

I recommend you do not need to waste time to find out or contacting UAE GCAA or IATA as they are not an Airline, AOC or even registered aviation employment related agency. Do Not Waste your time.

I Appreciate the desperation on looking for flying, but I recommend do something else more usefull, Build up your knowledge(GPWS modes, or how TCAS work), play simulator game with real ATC environment, discuss around with other colleagues pilot who are in entry phase on what challenges they are facing.


Good Luck

Hello Guys,

I recommend people who paid the fees for the assessment to report the scams via this website.

If you are so stupid to pay anything in advance for such shady outfits without any research, then in my opinion you are not fit to be a pilot mentally.

This is best explanation I've seen rearding these dream companies! All I can add, if the recruitment "company" has gmail or other free service accounts, forget it, that is not a company..
