Hi 10,
If you can get past not being able to find a place to park your car when you get to the airport, it's not too bad here overall!
Seriously though, it's a job where you can show up, fly, and if you don't screw up, just go home and enjoy your life. Management does not make a point of bothering pilots on their days off like other carriers in the ME.
Staff travel is avail after 6 months on the job. Options are limited to only flydubai and EK. EK you can buy standby business, standby Econ, and firm Econ. The standby tickets are priced like ZED tickets, priced by zones. Firm Econ is more like an ID50.
Rosters at flydubai are awarded by seniority through a PBS bidding system. At the current rate of hiring, you will fly the leftover crap (mostly nights, conflict areas, and double sectors)your first six months here and then the roster will get much better over the following 12 months. Its not to say you won't have any day flights, but when you bid you will have to make some decisions on where or when you would prefer to fly. Usually after about 18 months you start thinking about applying for the command program, however if your roster is something you enjoy some have started delaying command. One thing to highlight with FZs seniority system is that once you are hired that is your position on the master seniority list. Any DEC hired after you will always be junior to you once you become a Captain.
Those are the highlights, read through previous posts for more detail.
