@.air:
Falcon Express is a decent company to build some time and do some networking.
Most Pilots stay about 1 year, some up to 3 years.. In the time of economic downturn expect the turnover of pilots in Falcon to decrease..
Pay somewhere in the region of 38.000 USD/year for FO and 58.000 USD/year for cpt. That includes the housing, so tough to survive on FO salery, but other guys have managed before...
Min. requirement for FO is 500TT and 300 ME and a Beech 1900 type. Type costs you 7.500 USD in Denver, forgot the name of that TRTO (they do 737 ratings as well).
Cpt. needs ATPL at least, for UAE ATPL you need 1.500 PIC, half of your SIC time you can count as PIC for this purpose.
They usually always need captains on the B1900, not sure about current situation on the FO side.
Best to call them, ask for the DOO, Mr. Sanchez. Try to get an interview and show willingness to get a type. They will not promise you anything, but Mr. Sanchez is a very honest person and if he tells you that he would hire you when coming back with a type and they need somebody, he will do so!
Might be you have to wait a few weeks or months before another vacancy comes up..
But dont do a type unless you got a positive feedback from them!
Apart from that you might try Empire Aviation Group, operating 2 C-208s on behalf of TDIC.
You have a South African Licence? There is a cloudseeding Beech 90 in Al Ain?
You might try with fly.ave or aerovista, some time ago they offered low hour guys a job against selfsponsored type on the 732 (I believe around 12K USD).
Good luck!
You might try Horizon Flightacademy in Al Ain if you have instructors rating, dont know if they hire at the moment, but package (about 18 month ago) was much better then in Falcon...
