You could try getting thousands of hours and getting in the queue behind the guys who've been made redundant/are being done as we speak. I doubt flydubai are going to find it hard to source quality pilots with plenty of experience I'm afraid.

Please excuse my frank reply but it probably couldn't be a worse time for wannabes.

They have ordered 54 jets ...How many first officers will be required on those 54 jets atleast 300?Will they find 300 type rated expereinced pilot's..
If every airline will hire experienced pilots,how people without expereince will get experience?
I hope they hire atleast 5% female pilots and prove them selves as equal oppurtunity employers

Surely making sure that a certain percent are female is discrimination to the male applicants? If you're good pilot and you've got what they're looking for you'll get the job - male or female. It wouldn't be fair that some jobs are given away to women just because of that!

(not anti-female pilots, before it's said)

Over 2000hrs TT and 1500 on type and still got a big off. Due to not meeting their minimum requirements.
Hope that answers your question.

Guys, plumponpies has got it right. A lot of our Captains went there when our company went boobs up last September. They won’t even look at an F/O with out meeting their requirements, I speak from experience.

Good luck though!

What I heard was, initially captains will have to fly on both the left and right seat until the airline becomes fully operational. That probably explains why FO's are not being looked at for now...

No harm in being optimistic.

Lets just hope they take on people with 260 hour frozen ATPL's

Dream on, which part of 2500 hours do you not get!!!!!! It is an employers market and will be for several years to come.

It's true about their captains bit. No F/O's to be hired for the company for the forseeable future. Captains only in both left and right hand seats.

Now now Ford Cortina..no need to be like that...

Regarding the deliveries, unfortunatley I think it may take longer than they anticipated with the people being laid off at Boeing..I heard it takes a month to build one from scratch, not sure how true that is and not sure how many at a time they can do...But if they are 10,000 people light it could take longer...

FlyDubai

They are starting with 2 aircraft with the others you mentioned on order to come later in the year/next year, however a piece in the Business section of Gulf News yesterday says FlyDubai start is delayed, they wont start operating now until mid 2009 due to delay in arrival of first order as Boeing staff have been on strike. I have second interview this week for Flight Attendant, and they are only at this stage recruiting crew for the first two aircraft.

Turkish, it takes Boeing 13 days to build a 737! The 10,000 layoffs will not affect the 737 lines - they are fully booked up!
