Congrats cccc, welcome! With regards to your questions. flydubai folks are not really happy now. An extreme amount of work and short of staff in both seats. Meaning even the most senior captains/fo's are getting crappy rosters, no requested days off (and no requested flights) and between 90-100 block hrs a month. So no hope for any junior pilot, regardless of your seat. Most people seem to be on 8-9 days off a month and lot's and lot's of night flights and alternating shifts with 18-30hrs rest periods.
It's becoming unbearable for most is what I hear/see. And quite a number of people are now starting to vote with their feet. You can't really compare our ops to EK's ops but the net results seems strickingly similar. The main benefit we seem to have over EK is that we get our full leave quota and close to where you want/need it. Unlike EK.
