Air Arabia-the downward spiral
Following Godspeed comments, all of which are correct, I would simply add -don't go! You would have to be on the ropes to join what the airline has become. I would summarise by saying they have crossed the line from Low Cost to total crap. Low Cost is an operation run with the wholehearted cooperation of the crews but now is run at their expense. They try to come up with all sorts of reasons not to pay contracted things eg school fees, on time if at all, the medical cover is a useless insult, the rosters are awful and mindless, and the aircraft are carrying increasing numbers of serious faults, BUT THE MAIN REASONS ARE THEIR TOTAL LIES ABOUT THE UPGRADE AND THE NEW 'NO POACHING' AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE AIRLINES IN THE GULF. Air Arabia is a high hours, low cost model and part of that model is that people come here for experience and then look for a career job...they have now said you can't transfer to another Gulf Airline...SO DON'T COME!!! And spread the word...things will only change if no one comes.
