Why should they look for dispatchers, the flightplans will be calculated by EK-dispatch
Maybe they are looking for Opscontrollers.
First flight is planned in April, inshallah

FD Query

Hello there Schibulsky...do you work for EK...? I saw on their website that they are hiring a Dispatch Manager...wouldn't that indicate a separate Dispatch operation? Do you know what their routes are going to be?

Thanks...!

Here at EK they are calling all kind of guys "dispatcher".
May be they are looking for a ground dispatcher.
Or someone who is responsible for dispatch at their end, no idea
Have no info yet about actual destinations.
Just checked the website and saw no opening for any dispatch manager

Schibulsky: What do they call the guys who do the "dispatching" at EK...that have a GCAA/FAA Dispatching Lic...? Flight Planners...? Planners...something else...? What is the hiring process fior EK...? Congrats on scoring a slot there...nice work...if you can get it...!

I see they took down the Dispatch Manager position in the FD website. But they do seem to be still seeking more FAs...???

We are called Dispatchers but nobody here seems to know the difference btw us and the guys on the ramp..."what to do" ?
All dispatchers have GCAA lic.
The hiring process is stopped for the time being and may be for longer. They will probably not even replace me and some others who are leaving soon.
Do some reading at the middle east forum and think twice b4 coming to this company and the sh..hole called Dubai
You probably don't want to work the new roster...2early,2late,2nite and then only 1 rest day and 1 off day
The salary is o.k. but the conditions suck BIG TIME!
And the future brings what ever the company throws at you....just because they can....

FAA Lic...?

Is an FAA lic acceptable for hiring purposes until I get the equivilant...? IF I ever got as far as submitting a resume and/or consider working there...it seems that you either love the place or you dont...it just depends on your needs or where you are () in your life...? Yes...? Does a person usually have to inquire direct...or does a placment agency work best for FK hiring...?

FAA lic is o.k. for hiring....just go to the EK website and submit your CV...you might hear from them...inshallah
But might be a good idea also to apply through an agency... lots of people never ever got contacted...keep discovering

Looks like they hired the entire ops lot of now defunct XL airways for FlyDubai. Most likely as movement/network controllers, as none of them has Lido exposure, GCAA license, the works. Apparently EK will do the dispatching and flightwatch for some time to come.

love to hate it now

wow! Schibulsky....thanks for making my day!

I tried so hard to join EK, made so many enquiries, revamped my c.v like a million times to get noticed, and all i got was an e_mail saying that they have recieved my app!

so yeah EK is a sour grape for me!

but like all hypocrits...i would mind joining if they called!

Hi OLT,
just to make your decision easier
After they changed the roster from 4/4 to 6/2 they have a plan to make it better for us...they now proposed the following:
6 nights...3 off...6 late...2 off...6early...1 off
These guys are absolutely nuts!!
Who is enough to apply for that?!?!
And believe me they have more crap in stock

FlyDXB

So...what's the gen on the salary and the work roster there?

The timing for starting this thing up is not exactly optimum...be interesting to see the P n' L statement after the first 12months of ops.

I also wonder why EK are asking cabin crews to take unpaid leave when they could have shipped em up the road to get Fly going.

Nothing ever makes sense in the sandpit...
