Ah, G-man and B-Dog's housewarming..... I would have given my left nut to have gone to that one.

Hopefully it was on par (or better) than big bad Walkerhoss' & mine just on one year ago. How time flies.

If you're reading this post boys expect a visit from this little pornstar in March or April next year. Dubai and I have unfinished business........

Cyclone's, anyone?

Pay and Condition?

Hi,

I was interested in finding out what pay and work conditions are like for Beech 1900 Captains and F/o.

How do you get paid US$ or Dirham, how about medical etc.
Also type of aircraft other than beech 1900 and F27. Once you work for the company can you move between types?

Any info greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

208

All new hires to Falcon(Captain or F/O) must sign up for Iraq.Later on you reserve the right to pull out from flying in there.

Interesting to see that everone is concerned about flying into Iraq.What about the Kingdom were Falcon has 2 destinations (Jeddah and Riyadh), one were you stay in the hotel all day and the other only a few hours, these places are more dangerous then Iraq, read the newspaper, French guy killed (shot in a shoppingmall)and Britsh guy shot............a few weeks ago.

Propje you should know not everything in this region is told in the news!

(according to internal gossip)
One of the FECA planes was actually on a US base when couple of hundred feet away a mortar attack was conducted on that same base.

Rumor about attack confirmed.

2 weeks ago, at taqaddum. (sorry if spelling is wrong)
The crew could hear the distinct whitsling sound when the mortars were inbound.

Heard the same story in the office at Al taqqequem or just in easy words Falujah... But the crew got 1.000 dhs extra I heard still not enough to go into that place.

Last time I was there two CH46 (USMC) landed and unloaded black bags... Not a summer holiday destination. One of these pilots was there with me as well.

Iraq Flights

Dear, flying mechanic, and coast rider26

I take it from both of ur replies that you fly with FECA. I have no idea if u guys r captains or F/O's but what i would like to get is a NO BS assesment of the situation in Iraq. I know that FECA flies to destenations to Iraq such as taqadam, and bald. I am about to join FECA as 1 of its crew and this issue is really concerning me,as i was told that i wont be able to sign the contract unless i agree to fly into these GREAT destenations. Plz answer me back asap and let me kow before i sign up with this great airlne!!!!!!!!!

Stonecold,

Did you have a Beech 1900 type rating when applying?

1900 rating is required in 99.95% of the new hires, excluded in very rare instances are people who allready worked at Falcon for years.
