I have a couple of friends looking for a job. Both NG rated and experienced, one a skipper the other looking for a quick upgrade.
Shall I tell them to apply and if so to who do they need to send resume?
What's the roster like?
Housing allowance?
Salary?
Annual leave?
Time to command for experienced FOs?

Mr. Obi Wan Kirk,
If you heard about this, then you know to whom you have to apply, the source is prety well known what happen
What's the roster like? ....................they said it improved
(remember it manage by indian they use to have 2.3 billion people so safety come's last)
Housing allowance?..............they said it is enough to cover your rent in MCT
(you have to find out what the fact is)
Salary?..............they said it is increase
(actually only basic salary other are supplementary)
Annual leave?.........they said no problem
(sometimes yes, sometimes no)
Time to command for experienced FOs.........they said follow seniority list
(who's goes first for omanis programs? the expat...???)

What is happening?
The Hiring Tsunami is just beginning to gather momentum, that is what is happening.
Does the airline's HR deparment realize this, and realize that it will get worse and worse and worse, a month at a time, for probably the next 5 years???
They are just getting a glimpse of what is about to come!

Like most HR departments , they are trained to Titanic standards , ie they cannot see any icebergs as they are busy rearranging the deckchairs . ( This involves an entire department devoted to making life as difficult as possible for flightcrew )
The nightmare worsens for crew ( well , 737 that is ) , but it does not matter as long as the admin staff have every weekend off and the paychecks roll in.
The revolving door is already spinning faster.

You don't choose a company, you have to be choosen by a selection or so one, of course you have the choice to apply but it would have been so easy to say I want to fly for them and hop : ))))

What about your COO not doing anything? seemingly he got the job by knowing the CEO not by merrits , after all those interviews just to make things legally that everyone did the interview and we choose him. By looking all the records the guy is uselless to be any postholder,but thats the way things goes in oman , inexpirience guy come and get the position milking the goverment/company, five years latter they fire the guy and still pay him the full contractual agreement. and guess what next? Recruit the other idiot for next five years. on and on. One step forward twenty years back.

When you find out what bucks these dudes earn , you understand why they become 'invisible' . They start out and promise regular Forums and open door offices etc , then vanish . Wish I coud get a job like that .
Another interesting fact is that once you have been a ' Manager ' and then resign your post / sacked / whatever , you never lose your salary . This might explain the never-ending revolving door for upstairs . Big gravy train.
It is a sad fact that ALL airlines suffer from poor management . It is also a fact that pilots are very poor managers . Nobody should be allowed to be a manager without some sort of Degree / Business Qualification , and also be forced to take Psychometric testing .
Dream on .

Interesting to note that Flight International very recently published a very top class insert to their weekly magazine entirely devoted to the Middle East carriers , their orders , and many pages of recruitment adverts .
Strangely , there was one glaring omission , and that was Omanair . Not mentioned even once .
Was this because Omanair is not considered a serious airline ? Or because they are not recruiting on the open market ( they certainly will need to before too long ) , or because they declined to be interviewed ? Knowing the status quo I would expect the latter . Very sad.

Obi & kotakota,
look at my post 1 years ago about this company, this is a circus company, I just heard those who's resigned including locals guy's from Gulf Air who's returned home but they are leaving also.
can imagine they Manager Flight Training, he appointed a TRI with only less than 1000 hrs PIC
, he's team try create a procedure to Kathmandu and spend a lot of dollars and finally not approved by their DGCAS
lucky I'm not there what a scary
