Don't think you need a license for the ops controller job.. it just says "an advantage"

Looks like they are looking for experienced ops bods there, and splitting the flight planning bit to those with the GCAA license.

He he, more slaves needed, bukra:ugh:

[wingwalker69]

yeah, but at least slaves with jobs

Hi can anyone tell me what are the responsibilties of an ops controller?

[desertopsguy]

The latest garbage from the sandpit...

The following is an extract from the advert for this ops controller job in DXB...Bear in mind that they want all these qualifications but are only willing to pay "£40 - £48/day". Note also the currency, this could be interpreted as them looking for expats, maybe even from UK. Now who in their right mind would move to DXB for 4 quid an hour??, assuming they paid you their 'top' rate and you worked 12hrs/day, every day, for a month..you wouldn't even make a 1,500quid!!!:ugh:.

So, to anyone in FlyDubai reading this (it is a flydubai advert). Perhaps you should consider quoting your salaries in the local currency of the UAE, Dirhams, or better yet, quote it in Rupees!!...Because nobody is gonna come to DXB, with a degree AND experience for less than a McDonalds wage!

You will need that much in DXB just for beer money. I presume they are providing accomodation too, all companies do in DXB due to the unbelieveable cost of accomodation

[learjet50]

They must be joking even if they provide accomadation and all the food
it ridiculous

Some Idiot will take it no doubt and become a slave to these Sand Shovelling Moorons who think GOOD ops Controllers can be paid this amount.

As someone said u can get more at Macdonals than this.


You only get what you pay for

Pay Penuts Get Monkeys

I Think you have all heard it before

I will rest my Case

[desertopsguy]

Antonov Man, am afraid to say that these days accomm is not part of any package in DXB, at least at ops controller level, those days are gone mostly. You take that job; you are on your own. Fly Dubai have a reputation for crap packages anyway.

But as Learjet50 said, someone will take it. There are plenty of sheep being churned out month by month from that dispatcher factory in DXB. Lots of meat for the grinder and they will stomp each other to bits and undercut one another to get that job too. There is no wobbly head emoticon here so I will use this one instead... :ugh:.

D.O.G

[antonovman]

Hmmm thinks really have change then
One of the reasons i came home from DXB was when they moved us all out to the new Emirates Housing area in Al Quoz, the ****tiest part of Dubai. Nice apartments but in the middle of nowhere, no phones, internet no roads built then, it was awful
But housing was provided by all, hell even all the guys in the irish village had company accommodation, no-one could afford accommodation in DXB

[ZooWarden]

Does anybody know what salary package do they actually offer? And how many Europeans are there? Not a racist but really would not like to work in the office flooded with Ahmads, Baboos and other Vijays who have been undercutting each other.
Thank you.

[Apple1234]

Do you get paid any more than this in the UK? £7 per hour after you take off the tax etc it's not far off.

[Schibulsky]

Guys you can discuss all the numbers...but be advised that a contract in the UAE is not worth the paper it is written on!!!:uhoh:

[codeshare]

I applied for Flight dispatcher position in EK, the recent one. It shows online as the application is "under review". does it mean anything. Is my application really being reviewed? please put some light on the application process. I am a GCAA licensed flight dispatcher, desperate to join EK....working in DXB at the moment...

[Schibulsky]

what part of "under review" dont you understand? :ugh::ugh::ugh:

[desertopsguy]

It's 'under' something alright...
