Ravensdale: Great to hear you're still in production! Good thing to fall back on when you lose that medical I reckon!!
Betavalve: "Get in the real world!" ?! I think you'll find that is exactly what all the good guys are trying to do...

OK now there seems to be alot of "low morale" at the company and that's being fuelled by a few "frustrated can't get a job anywhere else" jet wannabes.Specifically, one who's away doing his 737 type(hope he gets a job before we go insane) ....
Granted it's not emirates but we try to make the best of what we have....it's one of the few places in the middle east where you can come in with piston time and a type rating, get your turboprop time and move on to heavy metal.Pay is good, hours are not too bad and dubai is a great place to live in.If I were looking for a job in falcon,I wouldn't believe 95% of the posts here supposedly from falcon pilots.
Take care and happy job hunting guys.

Is there any help out there?
Its good to see that all pilots in all arenas are more or less the same - everybody bitches about everything...
Now, is there anybody out there on this thread that could possibly give us a telephone number, postal address or any other information that would make it possible to contact these guys.
Any help, does not matter how insignificant, will be sincerely appreciated.

The postal address of falcon express is P.O.Box 99372,Dubai,UAE.To get in touch with the company and check if there's any hiring going on , you'll have to talk to the operations manager who's quite friendly , Steve and the number is 0097142826886.Fax number is 0097142826593.Currently it looks like no movement going on but it doesn't hurt to get in touch.
Best of luck.

well........
it's quite simple really.I still haven't forgotten the struggle a pilot has to undergo to get an airline job, especially when there are so few vacancies for pilot jobs going around.Yes,I enjoy this job and thank god for giving me this opportunity .It's sad to see that a few pilots out there need a refreshing of their memories.
And again , guys, best of luck with your job search.

Nice posting nosirrah - must commend you on your original name also. I think you really are the only happy pilot at falcon. Reading through all these post which really are starting to drag on it seems that all the potential is there for a great company but moral is bad due to complete mismanagement and incompetence. This really is a lot more common in the industry than you all think. Someone earlier mentioned the real world. In the real world people get fired for not doing there jobs properly. It seems falcon needs to clean house. Unless it does this company is a real waste of your precious time.

FYI - Steve's email address is [email protected]
I also think Steve is a good guy. All my dealings with him have been most professional.
For an operation that seems to be taking a lot of flak, they spend a lot on training.

All gone a bit quiet at Falcon? I heard a coupleof guys were given extended leave to further their careers - whats that all about? Seems management are encouraging tham to leave? Any vacancies coming soon. Despite the low morale I'm still interested, perhaps I can offer a fresh and enthusiastic addition.

falcon requirements
nil water , you sound familiar, like someone who used to work out here a while ago, and yes i agree with your recommendations .
Sstan , falcon requires a 1900 type rating and minimum 300 hours twin ...our ops manager is the guy to call on vacancies and it looks like there might be some soon.
If you want to get quality turboprop time with a progressive and growing company that pays fairly good in these parts and don't mind flying a maximum of thirteen days a month ( avg 80 hours) with good time off , then falcon's the company .
A word of caution though, the company usually likes to hire pilots rich in enthusiasm and those that like to play as a team ,no room for whiners out here.
So,best of luck guys in the job hunt.

FALCON EXPRESS IS GREAT!
Nossirah,
I deleted my original reply to sabastienl so your reply to my post looks a bit out of place. Sorry about that.
Sabastienl,
Falcon Express is a great company to work for, great pay and great for building turbo prop hours in order to move on to a heavy iron job or even on to a heavy turbo prop operator. (I certainly enjoyed working for them).
Having followed these Falcon bashing threads for quite a while now, it seems that at present there are a lot of Whiners in the company. (Just a guess, but I bet most of them are from the antipodes!)
(By the way Nossirah, not only do I take my hat off to you for your very original name but also because you are the only one who has anything positive to say about a great company).
I think the guys at Falcon need a reality check, it seems they have not only lost focus on what they hoped to get out of the company but have totally forgotten what they have come from and what Falcon has given them.
What gets me is that Falcon is a small outfit all be it one that is growing, (which is so rare in the current economic climate) so these whiners should be glad they haven't been furloughed!
Go on guys I know you are itching to have a b!tch about what I have just written, so let it rip!
4Hp thanks for the link to previous threads so Sabastienl and others (who will more than likely be greatful to get the job) can at least get their resumes in. And by the way, they certainly were the days, you certainly can't beat flying a 'dirty bird'.
Good luck to you Sabastienl and anyone else trying to get into Falcon, its certainly worth it!
