ExecuJet pay

Cheers M8.

First years Captains pay should net you around 85k with perdiem included.
You get a 10k raise after your first year.

So hold out m8.

ExecuJet is in shambles now.

Execujet Dubai

We are currently managed by an European based operator,but my boss
is considering Execujet as mangement company, but purely private ops no charter.

The pilots are and will be employed by the owner of the aircraft.

I would be gratefull for any info, on this company, concerning the management of aircraft.

ie, flight planning, overflight permits, maintenance tracking, flexibility if flying program changes, which is often the case with us.

Thanks for any info.

EMB-170,

I worked for three and a half years for AVCON that shortly after my departure merged with Execujet. I'll be corrected if wrong, but I believe AVCON was strong on the aircraft management end and Execujet was strong with sales and maintneance. Five years ago AVCON was very good from the aircraft management side and IMO did an excellent job. All the flight planners were ex-Jet Aviation and there was never a problem.

I have no information about current operations.

Got a quick question for those in the know ...

Just read on Aircraft Sales Aircraft Charter that they are looking for Lear 40/45 & 60 first officers. Requirements are listed as 1000 total, 600 ME & no type rating required. I don't suppose someone with 900 total & 100 ME would have a chance, considering they are desperate for people (from what i gather in this thread)? Doesn't hurt to ask

Dead right. If you don't ask you'll never know.

I would imagine they'll look at you with 900 TT, the lack of the required ME hours would be more of a problem but what's it going to cost you to apply? Go for it.

Are they still looking now?

That job posting was dated in January '08.
Are they still hiring into the 60 or have all of those vacancies been filled?

How often do 60 spots come open due to upgrades, turnover and new acquisitions? i.e. every week, month, year, etc...

Curious if anyone has any updated info for right-seat LR60 pay?

Thanks

Just a guess - but I doubt they type low time guys. Although, it does make in a way sense because the low time guys are less likely to leave!

Anybody know about the current openings with Execujet? IE pay, rotation, accommodations?

what's going on a Execujet ME?

I have a buddy working over there, but I can't get a hold of him. Are things as bad over there as they are in the states?

From what I hear (and was on Skype with a friend from Dubai today) its pretty bad there. Things very slow in the entire area and lots of planes sitting everywhere.

Evidently the economy, coupled with the price of oil being so low and no financing is hurting the entire area. Only good news is that I hear that the horrible traffic in Dubai is now 10x better and you can actually drive normally for a change.

There are now ways around it if you are in Dubai. Getting Blackbyte is one way.

If you are outside of Dubai you can always call in, as well as there are selected areas in Dubai where the telephone system is not blocked.

Do a search on PPrune for Skype and there are several threads about this.

Yep it is very quiet in DXB now.

We have not had to park at "C" at all, always on "E" now and we have not turned a blade in a week.

Malls are empty, the shuttle takes 15 mins not 30! traffic is a lot better in some parts. Dont need a 45 min transport time any more!

Always get a seat in any restaurant, even the food courts in the malls!

More "ladies" in the bars than customers.

I flew into Dubai some weeks ago and was shocked to see so many aircraft parked. Some must've been standing for some time since they were dust covered.
Truly a sad sight. :-(

Execujet are the only people in the industry in the UAE that talk bad about everyone else.................. The administration of this company is famous in South Africa Australia and where ever they roam for this activity.

It is made up of low lifes that can only attempt to get ahead by lying about other reputable people.

As a pilot, you may not see this........... so keep your Execujet flag waving to your self.......... just because you have not been screwed by them does not mean that day is not coming.............

Telling a pilot he is not at the Execujet level is in fact demonostrating the company level of aragence which you try so so hard to claim does not exist............

Your empoyers have a bad reputation at the business level of the industry and have screwed many a pilot along the way by shear attitude and self incompitence.

Be smart, if you are an operator and not "just a pilot" assess the situation that your comments too are of the same character and possibly you to fit the criterior of an Execujet Man.............. I know 4 guys that worked there for a number of years and wouldnt give the company the time of day........They now get $15K / month on hevy iron and "did their time in the funny farm" ........

Logic is that this is your first jet job or you are naive........ that is kind...... failing that they employed someone completely the same as them....... wouldnt wish that lable on anyone.

Dont be in a hurry to criticise other people about a company that will nuke you in a heart beat........ your are an employee ........

How's it all looking down on the ramp at Execujet ME? I have read some articles about new aircraft and expansion. What Ts & Cs are ther, roster, salary for both Captains and FOs on medium sized biz jets? Are the management up to scratch?

and I agree with Capt Underpants..... I believed in them, so I guess I was one of the naive ones, but yes, you are expendable in the instant they think you are on "the owner´s side." Unbelievable, as I thought that by taking care of the owners, they took care of themselves. That the highest executives in the company have no qualms about spreading the most incredible lies and rumours is unbelievable. In fact, I continued to believe that they simply must not know what was happening at a lower level and approached them directly with real concerns.....and they don´t care. The reward for concern and engagement? Get rid of the squeeky wheel....and without receiving the final month´s cash outlays or per diems or salary. Airline tickets for other crew members (I SAID I was naive) hotels and expenses paid when the company credit card was rejected. After the dust settles in court, that may all change, but not through their good will.

My advise is if you are in EJ NEVER use your own cash/credit card when (not if) the company card is denied. Never express concern about unnecessary maintenance expenses, never question the management decisions or ask why, never make thought-out suggestions, as it immediately implies to the insecure clowns, that they are under attack. . . and so they will counter-attack. Never say anything to your owner on management´s behalf. If it goes right, they take the credit, if it goes south, they will blame you. Leave engine covers off, let the owner foot engine damage expenses.....EJ doesn´t care, how many times have I heard "He is a rich man, he can afford ....... (fill in the blank) = blatant disregard for the owner´s money. Damage aircraft and lie to the owner, get removed from the aircraft as a consequence, and get promoted!!!!! Now what other company on earth would do that? Of course, that means you are only on aircraft half the time, so that you can only make half the mistakes in the future.......maybe they are clever afterall.........nope.......avoid them if you aren´t working there, keep quiet if you are...and keep your CV up to date...and your personal credit card in your pocket!
