Ronand, yes.
The 'second officer' is a kinder title for the pay2fly guys. Any 'second officer' is paying 200,000 AED=56000USD.
After that, Arabia brought out a place for 'ab initio' pilots, which was without any payments.........its what most folks were obviously interested in....sadly no luck, air arabia is preferring the rich boys.........
Met a friend in ops at another company, told me one of their first officers with about 1000 turboprop time got called by Air Arabia, and apparently they wanted to offer this guy the same deal too !
