Flight deck positions at FlyDubai Master Thread - Merged

[RandyBMC]

Obviously, there will be issues with different individuals' flight times. The good news is that there are provisions in the manual to allow upgrade at the discretion of the Chief Pilot. All upgrades will require an interview from what I am told, and I am sure that at the time of the interview if there is an issue with hours it will be discussed.

Hope that helps!

The current contract is not attractive to DEC's (unless already unemployed), so I would say that upgrade prospects for experienced F/O's would be excellent.

Hi guys,

I'm just interested if some of you have experience with the same situation as I have. In the beginning of September I received a phone call from Flydubai. I got several questions and finally the guy told me 'O.K., our coordinator will contact you shortly'. I'm still waiting for an email or a call from them. Does anybody know if it's standard for them to wait so long or it was hiden message saying 'soory, but you are not good enough for us'.

Thanks for your opinion

Anybody from within know what sort of hours they will upgrade an FD FO from?

Advertising 5000 hrs for DECaptains, can this figure be reduced based on training etc for somebody who joins as an FO?

The contract states 80 hrs. What is the guarantee block time? Or is 80 and you are paid even if you fly, lets say 50? I assume overtime or extra pay will be after 80 right?

You assume wrong, 80 hrs is the target, paid for only the hrs you do

...Captains
Salary per month
Value in AED
Basic salary
23,500
Housing allowance
14,000
Transportation allowance
2,300
Variable Flying Pay
(based on working an 80 hour month)
12,000
Projected Total
51,800

Then no flights, no 12000 AED? 1 hour = 150AED => 50hrs = 7500 AED.
Interesting. Months with annual leave you don't get much to spend LOL.



Anyone at Flydubai who can tell us how much time are you flying at this stage? Any other interesting insights that you would like to share, regarding money , FD, housing, etc?
Thx

Average flight time right now is 35 - 50 hrs for the month. Hopefully next year as we get more aircraft and routes that will pick up, right now you do a lot of standby/reserve, 7-10 flying and 8 days off. Again we are hoping for improvement, but right now that is what it is.
