Terrible Airline!!!! Do not go!!!!!

[mutt]

Oh come on, you need to post reasons and issues rather than one line messages like that!

[Aztec320]

Ok mutt!
The Airline is like a military regime. Bad training, a lot of fails for no reasons. The compound in Riadyh an Jeddah are very depressive. The Chief pilot is from Cyprus and there are a lot of pilots from Greece invited for him. 70% failed during the line company line check but have passed in the Gaca check. Can you imagine? A big italian group suffered the same.
During the screening in Bahrain they are very friendly put you in a very nice hotel, but after that your troubles will start.
Think twice!!
Good lucky!!!

Rumour is that there will be a change of aircraft type to 737s.

DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s Flynas will decide whether to order Boeing 737MAX or Airbus 320NEO planes before the start of the holy month of Ramadan in early June, the airline’s CEO said.
The low-cost carrier is considering an initial order of 60 planes, with the possibility of a further 40, as it seeks to replace its existing fleet and expand.
Flynas currently leases Airbus A320s so choosing Boeing would create complications such as retraining staff to work on the US firm’s aircraft, Paul Byrne told reporters on the sidelines of an industry event in Dubai.
“To switch ourselves, they (Boeing) have to do a phenomenal deal for us. That deal will have to cover that pain of transition, as it will be painful,” said Byrne.
“We are open to that argument, we see them as a player and what we want is something that will see the long-term future of Flynas. That door is wide open to both.”
Ultimately, with Flynas in the process of phasing out its leased Airbus fleet, whichever manufacturer it chooses will over time become the sole supplier.
Byrne was quoted earlier this year as saying the airline was also considering Bombardier for the potential order.
However, on Wednesday, he said it had decided against the Canadian manufacturer as its new CS300 aircraft had not been flown by a Middle Eastern carrier in the region’s harsh climate.

The 737max would be quite a fleet change.

It will be a good change and inline with Flydubai business model.

Any news yet about the potential fleet change!?

I am thinking about making a getting into Flynas and I am currently flying Airbus. Any advice?

[argentina21]

A decision regarding either Boeing or Airbus for the future was to be announced by Ramadan. Did they ever make a decision?

[REMAX11]

I have an offer from flyans, not really sure what to do since I do not know anybody there.

Any colleagues here that are willing to share their experience?

thx
