If I find a better job, especially non low cost or one where upfront payment for training not demanded ofcourse I shall change course. Meantime I shall steer through these treacherous seas and see if there is an escape route should things prove to mirror what you suggest. Frankly based on how long duty hours one would fly from the WWAD base I would expect a better crew meal service option and not having to pay for any training if signing a bond.UAE GCAA is strict on regs and so I hope it shall be policed in favour of maintaining safety standards. Unfortunately from what I know has been happening at all other airlines here Crew Fatigue Management is an ongoing sore subject that has not yet been resolved.
They said WWAD base being far off their network crew wont ve flown as hard but not sure of the mandatory days off per month.If you find out from any pilots that lefy from the WWAD base please share their reality.
thats exactly how described.
Already cancelling flights due to lack of flt crew.
Most in my base have 100+ hrs this month.
All the people coming from the desert will leave soon.
Wizz 500 will never happen. Not with the current planning.
Ezy also cancelling due to lack of drivers.
Lauda desperate for pilots.
Its gonna be a fun summer...
