Flight deck positions at FlyDubai Master Thread - Merged

[fly2AK]

Well I am type rated. I believe Fly Dubai is only interviewing one more month this year, not sure on that though. You can try to verify with others. There was 4 guys each day they interviewed and I know of at least 3 groups of guys. Not everyone was type rated and I can only speculate on their experience.

FWIW, I recently returned from interview for F/O with FD, and as has been stated already, 4 candidates per day, and only one out of my group had a type rating.

Thank you for this post even if it's not very pleasant while I was told by CAE (who are actually doing the recruitment) that recruitment was over and only concerned type rated guys. Something must be wrong with my profile.

[spanishfly69]

CAE is not doing the recruitment. You better check your sources

[fly2AK]

Emirates is doing the recruitment with some Fly Dubai people. All the people I dealt with were Emirates except one FD person and he was ex emirates. No CAE involved with recruitment.

[fatbus]

other way around FD recruiting done by EK people and I think the EK guy to refer to is still EK but was offered a place in FD.

Unfortunately stand by for FD delay

[S.F.L.Y]

Ok my sources might be wrong but doesn't the interview include a 737 sim ride?
As far as I know only CAE has two of them... If they are not involved I just wonder why I got these information from them.

Anyway is there a way to get in touch with recruitment people other than through the website where I submitted my details without getting any feedback but the automatic receipt?

Thanks for the help.

SFLY, You are Right. The 73 Sim is done in CAE. I really do not know other way to get in touch with the HR people. They like to take their time.

FATBUS: what dou you mean "unfortunately stby for FD"?

[fly2AK]

The sim is managed and maintained by CAE but the sim ride is conducted by EK people no CAE instructors. It is a 737-800 sim. If you really want to track down FD HR people, you might want to go through EK Hr. I hope that helps, good luck.

@skybus 69 FATBUS: what dou you mean "unfortunately stby for FD"?

I think he means watch for delays in startup.

[S.F.L.Y]

Thanks for the post Fly2AK.
I'll try to find my way through EK HR department to get some info on FD and check the status of my application but I would of course appreciate any direction helping me to reach the right person.

Thanks for the help.

Should be in the window I would have thought.

[fatbus]

It would not hurt to update your appl, but I think they have hired 30+ Capts and this interviewing maybe for FO's.

[fly2AK]

Not sure when they plan to do their next interviews. As far as DWC airport, I know they plan to operate out of DXB for the next few years, so there is no expected delay that I know of at this time or that they have lead us to believe. I am not sure if they are doing like EK as far as interviews,but if they are, then interviews aren't taking place every month rather only a couple times a year and I believe that FD is following the EK interview model. Don't know if that helps.

[Instant Hooligan]

My understanding was that the FlyDubai operation was to be from the New Al Maktoum Airport not DXB. Is this correct?

[fly2AK]

During my interview I was told that the initial plans are to operate out of DXB for roughly the next 5 years and FD will be investing a healthy amount of money into their terminal at DXB as well as a HQ there at DXB.

[Yarra]

Fly Dubai will operate from Terminal 2 on the North side of the airport

[fly2AK]

Yarra is correct
