Save your money...go elsewhere !
The current recruitment system is a croc of sh1te, and will not last long as FZ will be parking up aircraft due to lack of crew. Even guys upstairs are concerned about recruitment..and RETENTION even more so. Brace yourselves for some busy months ahead guys. New a/c imminent, but not enough recruits.
Still many issues at Fd to that make it unattractive to many. How many consec days off do you get ? Are you getting 80 hrs flying and the 16 days off as promised? The present leave system is a awful. Why bid for the whole year but only get the leave confirmed just weeks in advance? Rosters, confirmation of days off and leave are all left to the last minute. Are your leave plans working out? Have you Experienced the joy of making a medical claim here at FZ? Even the CP and COO had to either stump up the $$$, or go back to the U.S as the medical cover at FZ is utterly Inadequate. Massive bond for guys already type rated. Add all this to the Ctc experience and it's not terribly attractive right now. It might just convince guys to look elsewhere and consider long haul.
At fd you PAY your money first, THEN you make your choice.
