Air Arabia interview

You will have 2 days for the interview.
1st day :
- Tech quiz (general knowledge)
- Group Discussion
- Some stupid test
- Personal Interview
2nd day : (if you pass)
- Sim Session : T/o, Engine fire, vector ILS 12 Dubai, G/A, vector ILS 30 Dubai, Ldg (easy)

You'll have to wait 2 weeks for the result. If you pass they will send you tickets with the cheapest airline.

Training :
1. 4 days sim session (They might extend for 2 days sim)
2. Blue line pilot's (takes you for about 3 months before you release)

Comments :
- Living in Sharjah is crap

- You'll have to have your own car

- To buy a car you need UAE driving license

- To apply driving license takes you about 3 months and 70% Arabia pilots they failed the driving exam and they have to do it again

- Apartment price is very high, for F/O Arabia will give you 10k dirhams/m Captain 12k dirhams/m and you'll have to pay 80k-120k/year for 2 bedroom apartment, 3 beds 140-160k and to rent apartment is a headache

- Flying 80-100 hrs/month

- Night flight is very tiring but the money is good

- Very bad roster, you can make a deal with the rostering guy

- If you have 2 babies less then 4 years old, Sharjah is not a good place to live with your family

- Upgrade : "FORGET ABOUT IT" unless you can lick the people in management

- Carefull with some pilots, they have connection with the owner...if they dont like you, just pack your things

- Pilots : 40% Tunisian, 30% Egyptian, 30% others (Central American, Brits, Eastern Europe, Portugese, Filipina, Malaysia, Brazil, Syrian and many other

- You'll not sure about your life in Air Arabia. Captain may downgrade to F/o, F/o can easily get sacked so my advise is DO NOT take any loan

- Be prepare for PPC, if they think you're not good enough even you pass it already, they will call you after sometimes to do it again.

- Be nice with pinoy ladies in the office, they'll help you alot



Overall :

I hope those will help

Good Luck
