I would say:
ABSOLUTELY YES! But that is just me. You seem to have good time but please understand I don't make the choices. You have a lot of what the CO wants. Type, License, ATP etc - so just for me I would say get your butt to SHJ and wear your best suit and ask for the job. The most they could say is NO!

Just wondering in my case I am a captain on a320. My total on a320 is 3000 hours but my command on type is only 850 hours. Does my pay scale go to the category of more than 2000 hours on type?

I love the fishy taste. I dont think you would qualify but that is up to management. 2000 in type means 2000 in type in seat and your 850 would put you under a grand. However, the good news is you need only about 1.5 months to get to 1K and the next payscale if you got on board.
At ABY it does not take long to get time in type or seat. It is pretty sure you will do 900 a year or darn close we fly a lot. With all the expansion going on that will not be a problem and the nice thing about the company is that what they say is what they do you can take that to the bank!
Now you may not like the answers to your questions but the bosses are honest and will tell you the truth a nice thing in this business.
But come on board. If you like to fly and are willing to work well then it is a fun place. Do your job, do it safely and the company will take care of you very well. The Pass people, the schedulers and even the HR people try to accommodate you when you need to. From a personal point that is worth its weight in petro.
Good luck,
Burners and Out!

AA Interview
Inverter, I was only called a few days back from the short list. No I woke up since I became a pilot, you never know when an airline will call you. Thanks for being so nice about your comments, it hit the spot. If you look at other parts of Pprune you will see I posted as well. Thanks once again
.
Help would be nice.

Call the HR of AA and talk to them, that is what I did a few months back. Good luck

WW,
You know big Lou Freeman! Lou and I go back a few years. He and I belong to the same organization. The last time I saw Lou was back in 05 in DTW at a convention. Well if you are a friend of Lou's the you can't be too bad
After reading some of your comments on AA and that you were a firend of Big Lou's I felt compelled to apply. I am sure that with my time in type I will get a call, 3000 in the A320.
I can't follow the way you explained how the pay works. I would rather come in as DEC however without the mins on left seat time I feel that ain't gonna happen
. So coming in if I read the web site correctly at plus the 2000 hr mark I would move to the higher tier of the pay scale, what can I make realistically?
BTW I would love to be home every night and I need a home very close to what you have so let me get the number of your realtor

Hey W Weasel..you seem to be the man with the info on AA. I did an interview with AA in March...did not do a sim eval because they say I am not type rated. Is this the norm at AA? If this is so, do I lose points in the long run? I have a UAE ATPL and I have over 4000hours with just under 2000 PIC time. I am not an UAE national but I live in the UAE. Please advise. I have not heard from them as yet.....

Air Arabia Insiders
Hi W Weasel and ABY Insiders,
My wife (34), 3 year old kid and I are considering moving up to Dubai after myself being offered a job up there. My wife has a job at home country flying 737-300 EFIS in an arline much like ABY (no layovers). She is captain rated yet still minimal command time, ICAO ATPL, over 4,400 hrs total and over 4,200 in the mini boeing but no A320 rating. She also holds a college degree.
If we could find a way to get her into ABY, heaven doors would wide open for us and definitely make the move to Dubai a no brainer!
Any Insider ideas as to her options? Tried to PM WWeasel unsuccesfully. If an Insider would be kind enough to PM us we would greatle appreciate it.
Greetings to all from Mexico!
