Proof of Scam to steal your Money

I wrote to the actual Abu Dhabi Aviation Headquarters asking about the following individuals included in the job offer correspondance:

General Abdullah Zayed Sultan,
Human Res. Division Manager.
Abu Dhabi Aviation Company

Captain. Ali Rashid Al Jarwan
Project Administrator,
Abu Dhabi Aviation Company

Prof. Jardan T. Musaffah, PHD
Head of Operations/External Affairs
EMIRATES COUNCIL & IMMIGRATION SERVICES COMMISSION

They sent me a reply as a "Form Letter" confirming their knowledge of the scam (couldn't scan and import all, but here is the main brunt of the letter). I hope this helps anyone receiving a job offer from the above individuals and act as a warning to stay away from them! I only wish the Abu Dhabi Government would do more to investigate and apprehend these individuals. However, they may be operating from outside the UAE. If anyone is in UAE, near Abu Dhabi, or knows of UAE/Abu Dhabi Government officals? Please contact them and ask them to investigate!

Many of the instructors have moved on to Aerogulf in Dubai. Better pay and MUCH better working environment (but need ATP, and twin & offshore time are helpful).

Mmmmmm 20% Huh ........

Well not really .... its suposidly 20% on the basic salary which after the "Indian Mafia upstairs" have done their job will (might?) be about 13.5% real increase on salary.

Not really good enough when local Government employees recently got a 70% increase .... inflation is hitting the Gulf hard and companies are not keeping up.

As usual ADA have a problem determining whether they are a private company or a Govt. owned one????

Be interesting to see if this fantastic raise will stop the rot ....methinks NOT!

Thumbs down FAS

I had a good chat with him - feels like he has been made a scapegoat in the whole thing. Putting it down to a lesson learnt,not necessarily a good one. Perhaps management of Falcon should think about the overall picture rather than the supposed effect of one individual on the way things have gone.

FAS

True with regards to the management, be nice to really bag them but hey it's better they bag themselves and shown their true colours the word is out so why bother. Just hope that they give what ever Aircrewman that decide to stay with the current contrat a fair go.

Thumbs down 2 sides to story

Maybe P.V. should reflect on his choices and actions!
There are always two sides to the story, you have only heard one side. FAS is not without issues (as are all companies) however, said aircrewman is definitely not innocent/blameless in all of this.

2 sides to the story

Thats right there are always 2 sides to every story, however in this case it would appear that this side carries more credibility. Having read your post of 28 Nov 2007 how can it be possible to hold a person responsible for losing something that never was.

FAS SAR contract

Dont understand how an employee gets it in the neck for loosing a company contract opportunity of which he probably had very little detail and/or knowledge of at his level. two sides to every story as we all know but I suspect only half truths will only ever be known?? All a bit bizzare....

Exclamation Again

Titanic04,

HIS side of the story is that they held him responsible for losing it. As I said, there are 2 sides to the story, you have his side only.

Don't be so quick to judge if you do not have the facts from all parties. Please re-read my post above (from yesterday).
