My 1p worth

I have never flown for them, but do know the crews, quite well.

The DFO is a great guy who tries very hard.

The G450 that they operated went to Empire, they got a second G450 which is or was working in CIS.

Several new aircraft due, and I know they need access to qualified Falcon drivers short term.

Apart from that they are the same as all DXB and UAE companies, short on work, mostly, (HS working very hard).

I wish them well.

they have a 7x due any day

I am not certain if they are actually looking for drivers, or if they have found them.

No harm in asking.

good luck,

5 years on Falcon 900 EASY and i sent a resume with no response from them.

So I assume that they have found Falcon crews...

Elite Jets

Thanks for the kind words. 7X is on its way... Times are tough for all of us and we try to keep things turning over as best we can.

Currently crewed up on CJ3, HS125, 900B, 900DX interviewing, G450 and 7 in the not to distant future....

All the best.

Last seen moving out from office

I have been advised that the staff were seen departing the sinking ship.

The over stressed, and over worked DFO resigned and is now 100% happy, as a pilot not a lap dog.

At MEBA show, there was no sight or sound of them.

Thus the word on the street, is GOING, GOING, GONE.

The fat lady hasn't quite finished yet, there may be a lifeline. Give it a bit of time.
