Did a bit more research and it seems that Falcon Express has had a tendancy in the past year or so only to hire guys locally available and trained through the Emirates Flying school. There have been a few exceptions but not many. There are three pilots in Falcon who are previous Chief Flying Instructors there. Obviously then the standards must be very high. Perhaps these guys are better suited to the flying environment of the region.
Either way it seems unfair that other qualified (like myself) cant get a look in.
I guess the old boys network is in action everywhere.
