Amiri Royal Flight
 

Does anyone know the working conditions for the Amiri flight apart from the usual's of being hot and on call 24/7. I need to know working hours, shifts and holiday entitlement and also interview routine.

Many thanks.

spandix, Hi, as there are several "Amiri Flight's" in the Gulf, you need to tune your question a little:- which Amiri Flight, and which position are you referring to, eg: LAE, Technician, Mechanic, Planner, Store-man etc etc.

Qatar Amiri Royal Flight
 

My apologies, Its the Qatar Royal Amiri Flight. LAE


Many Thanks.

Not specific to Q.A.F.
Holiday entitlement should be in the package but 20 working days would be a starter, increasing to 30.
P.Hols. off if not required for duty and/or lieu days.
A five,6hr day, non flying week but longer during maintenance checks or to clear defects.
Shifts for flying spanners unusual but a stand-by roster could be on a 24/7 week about.
O/T pay not heard of but unsocial hours allowance possible.
A posted flying duty might start 3 hrs before take off, giving 2 hrs for security, plane dressing, your pre-flight and 1hr for complete state of readiness, fuel top up, baggage and accepting early entourage. With 2hrs at the end of a flight to put plane to bed plus flight time it can be a 7hr day, even for an inter-gulf drop off or pick up, longer on a sit and wait; Transatlantic min 19hrs and sleep on a passenger sector difficult.
Interview, if you are concerned about crossing the t's and dotting i's for conditions you are unlikely to be chosen; however, most 'Flight' LAE's stay in their service a long time.

Aeromech3,

Many thanks for taking time to explain great help.
