The appointment of CTC by FlyDubai is a shocker at best and should be avoided at all costs.
FlyDubai are in need of pilots as expansion plans are a foot with new a/c soon to be delivered. However with the pilot job market on the rise paying for an interview is appalling. Its one way for CTC to make money. Its even worse when you look at the fact that you can be out on day 1 before even having the sim check!
FlyDubai has the possibility of being a good airline, and with a relative currently working for them, a few small changes would make things a lot more impressive. However right now its not brilliant and this way of recruiting is not helping.
