Lots being said about the low pay for the 1900 flying - i reckon that's pretty damn decent considering what's available elsewhere...
Apparantly in South Africa you can earn substantially more cash flying 1900's for company's involved in UN contract work...Dubai sounds like a lot more fun though!
I'm just curious whether you can get a start at Falcon with just a bare 1900 Rating and full ATPL with loads of piston hours.
Anyone who's worked and lived there, your thoughts please.
I'm keen!!!!!!

Yes they are still flying into Iraq using a wet leased AN 12.
They have taken a couple of F/O's in the last few months.
The requirements( as always) are 500 TT and 300 Multi and a Beech 1900 Rating.
The F27 is fully crewed.
Hope that helps.

It's nice you have the endorsement on the 1900 unfortunately only 50% of your right seat time counts towards an UAE ATPL and this will take you about three years. Accomadation is included in your salary which would be around 10.000 dhs a month as a fo on the 1900.
Cheapest appartments in Dubai are around 40.000 dhs a year.

sorry didn't look at your profile. UAE regs are quite simple you need 1500 TT for your ATPL. PIC time counts as 100% SIC time counts as 50% towards that.
Last 2 yrs I've flown bout 60-95 hrs a month. If you have the hours to make the 1500 TT as I mentioned above you can convert your aussie ATPL to a UAE ATPL.

Thanks guys,
have searched through the forum an found some good info.
The only main problem is still trying to get a straight answer from them got told yes you meet all the requirments but they will not indicate anything more than that. If i am in dubai they said to pop in but makes a long flight from nz!!!
