Do the pilots tend to be local pilots (i.e., from the ME) or do they also hire Europeans, Asians, Americans/Canadians, etc.? Do they have many Euro expats out of Sharjah?
Can anyone summarise what are the benefits of flying for AA vs. FlyDubai and other local LCC carriers?
Cheers

I tried to get an invitation for the interview for almost an year, never got any replied.
So I decided to move into a next level. I went DIRECT to their office in Sharjah with a nice suit and my CV.
Got the invitation a week later. Passed all the interview, got a contract signed.
I start now in november. I'm studying for the UAE AIR LAW exam required to fly over there. If somebody have any info about that exam I really appreciate.
P.S. During my interview we were from all over the globe (Mexico, Croatia, India, Brazil...)

I'm a direct entry first officer with more than 2000 hrs on type 
My fiancè works in EK as cabin crew and they gave her annual leave in parts. I presume it would be the same with Air Arabia.
According to them we will fly a lot (around 100 hrs) and most of the time at night.
I've been flying the same for the past 3 years here in Turkey, so I'm a little used to this hard work with minimum rest.
Example: I just landed this morning at 8am after 11 hrs duty. Woke up now at 4 pm. I have another flight tonight at 1 am (4 legs Antalya-Dusseldorf-Istanbul-Nevsehir-Antalya) and I'll be back tomorrow at 4 pm.
As far as I understood the Alexandria base has a worst contract condition (especially from the agencies) than the main Sharjah base and Casablanca.

Hi guys,
I just watch the Air Arabia dvd from Worldairroutes. Can you confirm that Air Arabia SOPs are the same from Airbus, F/O taxies, start the engines, etc? Also how you feel about living in Sharjah?
Happy landings

Thanks hamd,
I'm not trying to join. Just curiosity as at my present company the SOP's on all fleets the F/O can not taxi, start engines, etc. Although when I'm flying with experient F/O I let them start engines and taxi.
Good luck with the interview
