Pilots are extremely angry and frustrated than ever, and whoever denis is simply lying or cant afford to lose a job.
if you are ready to work night and day in a complete roaster mess, then apply for flydubai
if you are willing to work five days, then have one day off, another five days of flying, then apply for flydubai
if you are willing to work six days in a row, you go for turn around, then minimum rest for a layover, you come back for another flight with no day off at all, then apply for flydubai
if you are willing to work with no life, then apply for flydubai
Please advise your family about your working pattern if you have a family because you will not see them for five days. The only day off you will get between working days is to rest only, which means you will not be able to interact with them again.
Pilots are incredibly frustrated and can't express themselves to the management because they fear losing jobs. no one is happy with their roasters- people prefer night flights always do day flights
- people prefer day flights always do night flights
- people prefer layover flights always do turnarounds flights
- people prefer turnaround flights always do layover flights
Before, pilots could bid for whatever they liked as per seniority. Now no one can get what they want to do. most of the pilots were happy before, but now no one.
now the Company has this newly introduced system called fair roaster but as funny as it sounds, its not fair at all
You get what they roaster for you. even before we had golden day off and now we don't have it.
When rosters are out, you are lucky if you can swap one flight, unlike before when rosters were not restricted.
you are allowed to make three swaps only again; you are lucky if you could swap one flight
What's funny is that the cabin crew can enjoy bidding and swaps fully, but pilots cant.
Simply pilots identified as trash in flydubai.
do yourself a favor and look for another airline
I would take note of this. It is (mostly) factual. However if you go back in time to pre-Covid when we had bidding and PBS (flight/trip bidding) this was a totally different story. The moral of the story being that you are at the mercy of those directing procedures. Whether or not you agree with them, or they are logical to you or anyone is irrelevant. That’s sad because it has all the potential.
