huh??

When you get on, I'll teach you how to slag-off all the VFR traffic and request straight in approaches....it's a hoot!!
Good luck, eh!

terd,
how do straight-in approaches screw up VFR traffic? Are your eyes open when u fly through OMSJ CTR??? (...thats control zone, by the way). The VFR guys are pretty efficient around the terminal area and dont care if they have to hold for 5 mins...so 'hoot' all you want.

I mean come on some of you guys are making this airline sound like its based in 90210. haha so funny. cracking up reading some of that stuff.
I would just like to share my info for people who are applying to air arabia, granted you hear complaints regarding some issues but hey thats the airline world in general, no matter where you go you will always have the good side and bad side of things. And with regards to kala320 comments about discrimination i dont think thats the case with them, last i heard that they have over 40 different nationalities working for them. But its ok i understand how people get when it comes down to rejection, some just take it worse than others.
i mean kala320 sorry to hear your ride didnt go that well, but you dont have to bash an entire airline just cause of your interview experience. I guess just wasnt your day.
Overall i believe air arabia has proven itself in this region and world for a matter of fact and just take a look at all the other airlines starting up that are trying to follow in their footsteps. I think it will have a very bright future.
Good Luck to all out there.
keep it real, keep it safe :-)

Terd,

What is it with you against VFR traffic,huh?!? Is it because your flying the friendly skies in a jet? as if your the only one who can do that...you think your some kind of a superpilot now huh?!? well...can you do very tight short approach to squeeze between jumbos and vacate asap in your bus? I don't think so...

Everyone...give a round of applause to Turd for being a superpilot cause he THINKS he can slag-off VFR guys

"another thing i think they are just liking to employ moslem pilots, and maybe this is why they were bad with me and not the other people at the interview"

My dear ,you have not lived in the Middle East long enough for you to realise that the Gulf nationals ( The Locals ) love...Blond and green/blue eyes and non-moslem pilots.....

yeah right

"When you get on, I'll teach you how to slag-off all the VFR traffic and request straight in approaches....it's a hoot!!"

Yeah...but unfortunately someone in AA doesnt know jack about visual approaches. Thats why they got as close as 1 mile behind me when I was cleared to land on Rwy 30 at OMSJ. You guys probably need a refresher course on TCAS. The cyan, yellow and red blocks which you can see is on the TCAS...its not Tetris.

Devil Pathetic !

This is probably completely irrelevant on this particular thread, but what is it with you TURD and VFR Traffic? Did these guys delay you far too much whilst you were enjoying your nice cool flight deck at the holding point "G" for Rwy 30 OMSJ? Did any of the newly hired cadets just piss you off badly? Or did you simply just forget that you too were a VFR trainer whilst training to be where you are NOW, enjoying your nice fat 47,000 AED pay cheque. You know you weren't born on the LEFT seat of an A320.
With the type of attitude you portray it seems like you fly the NASA space shuttle,.... when you ACTUALLY just fly an Airbus 320.
Frankly speaking, being such a Senior captain, considering the amount that you make (Ref Money in my Pocket THREAD) your professionalism resembles that of a student in flight school.
Perhaps you can utilise the 111,500 AED you made in February and go back to flight school be a VFR trainer, learn a thing or two and become a professional.
Defending certain individuals who blatantly transmit "surrounded by idiots" on a live Sharjah frequency and statements such as the one above just depicts what sort of people (NOT ALL) end up in the airline industry. To make things worse, here you are inviting individuals from abroad so that YOU can TEACH them how to slag off VFR traffic.

In the other thread you talk about how hard people have worked to make Air Arabia where it is now. I fully agree, however I think you are just ruining it for the others.

By the way I don't think you could afford a shop on the 3rd floor of the Majestic City, kindly don't think that Colombo is such a cheap city. Try to enjoy the American Breakfast at the Taj Samudra next time, don't choke on anything.....

Kindly curb your enthusiasm about certain issues....

Wow

"When you get on, I'll teach you how to slag-off all the VFR traffic and request straight in approaches....it's a hoot!! "
Sarcasm, albeit the lowest form of wit, is apparently wasted on the weak-minded and clinically anal!
Nice work Lycan, but I can get my lectures at home!

Hi there,

Could i please ask the question asked by Hamid (nobody replied):


Do you know whether Air Arabia accept non-UAE national ab initio pilots with 200hours with/without a type rating?

i would appreciate any views on this.

Cheers

Cool

KALA you really have a bad chip on your shoulder, you were unsuccessful so move on. Air Arabia is a great place to work. Its very successful, the fleet is young and about to expand rapidly after its IPO later this month. The opportunites for early command are obvious, and if you want a fantastic place to live and have fun, then Dubai is it. I don't see the downside, I'm european and its the best time I've ever had working for an airline. Gotta go jet ski awaits.

Wink Chip on the shoulder


Dear Kala 320,

I take it English is not your first language and ASDA it is not your supermarket. The chip usually goes on top of the shoulder and not IN. If it was in your shoulder it will hurt a lot. Here is a trick to find out if you do have a chip ON your shoulder or not, Do you walk lop-sided (in French it is called DE TRAVERS )?? if you don't then congratulations you do not have a chip ON your shoulder just Pis.. ..ed off !!! but if you are really serious about the chip IN your shoulder you can always get an Xray and find out. I worked last year in the UA. ..E with 5 Fren... ..ch men very nice pepole on assignment from a real company called Ai.. .r...Fra.. ..nce. There boss had to get a tractor to pull them back to Fra.. ..nce God knows why????. Oh beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
As far as the job concern you can try EY A330 and A340 Co or Easy jet.or GF!! or perhaps QR. plenty of sunshine for everyone. Remember When one door closes another one open.

Take care and enjoy the baguette (that's long bread roll for those who do not speak French, Like me).

Unhappy Apology

Just curious though.....other than my feebly-attempted and poorly received sarcastic statement, have I EVER made a comment on this board that was derogatory or condescending in any way to my aviation brethren to deserve the post that you directed at me? Please check my posts history under my profile and let me know. Thanks.
Cheers.


Hi there Terd,

Firstly thank you for the message. I appreciate the insight to the reasons for the past posts on the various threads.
Secondly I would like to Apologise for the very harsh remarks made by me on the last post on this thread. The actual intent of those posts were not known and now that they are, my remarks were uncalled for and unprofessional on my part.
The reason for defending our fellow VFR pilots against remarks directed towards us is very obvious. VFR operations in the UAE are not really welcome and seldom receive the sort of respect that counterparts elsewhere receive. Therefore when someone comes around and rubs this fact even deeper like "surrounded by idiots" and "slag off VFR", it just is uncalled for. With the added crap that we receive from "SOME ATC WATCHES" in Dubai. ( I KNOW I WILL DEFINITELY BREW UP ANOTHER STORM WITH THAT REMARK"

To stir this up even more...... Orbiting for 20 ~ 40 mins waiting for a slot IN will eventually drive people nuts. Sitting at the holding point for similar amount of time will do the same. All this because some CAN"T and DON"T want to fit us IN.............
Hence the more crap VFR pilots will receive from certain parties the more defensive they will get.

By the way, that pilot who made the remark last time. Does he like saying stuff like "The indians are hanging inside this airplane" when he has to lose quite a significant amount of altitude on final approach, because he has done that too, and I have heard that.

Anyway, enough of that....
Take care and safe flying..
