Sally Girl? Not a name inspired by some of the bluest eyes and biggest boobs in Dubai, is it?

If it is, I think I might just know who you are......................

Thanks for the info everyone. I have a couple of questions for you guys and gals.

What is the name of the new chief pilot?

Are they really picky when it comes to time on type or having a type rating for a first officer? I have the hourly requirements but not a type rating...should I bother applying?

Thanks for any info/help. All the best.

Cheers

I have around 1200 hours total time but not 300 hrs multi and not a type rating. I do, however, have a UAE CPL/IR together with a JAA frozen ATPL/IR and am based in the UAE?

Any chance?

Coastrider26

Falcon hardly does any type ratings on their own. Occasionally they did a type rating for direct entry captains (I don't know if it is true or not).

This is the reason why they are asking for a 1900 Type. The 300 hrs multi is never lowered by my knowledge. The only way to find this out is to call the office. LT= UTC-4 hrs, offices will be clossed on wednesday/thursday as that is the local weekend.

To know if you make a change is to call them. People that are doing the hiring: Bevan Dods, Mustaf Ali, Steven Sanchez. Any of these people can tell you what the current requirements are.

Good luck

P.s. No gals at Falcon

Should that not be UTC+4 hours for local time?

what is the average f/o pay on the 1900 ? and how many hours/month are flown?

cheers

Coastrider26

Oops aerogull, you're totally right it's UTC+4 hrs...

concordino
We fly on average around 70 hours might be a bit more might be a bit less. This is the same for captains and fo's. New pilots must be willing to fly into Iraq.

These iraq flight are around 9 hours block time so you can imagine if you have 4 of these flights how the rest of the monthly schedule would look like at the moment. Falcon is looking for new pilots and forcing them to go to Iraq so this might change in the future but so far all the Iraq guys had a pretty good schedule.

An F/O earns about Dhs 10.000,- a month including per diem, transport and housing. Which is around US$ 2.500,- this includes medical coverage as well.

If you want to know something else about the flying please feel free to ask.

As far as requirements I know they used to have as a bare minimum 300 hours multi engine and a 1900C/D type. I don't know the exact numbers as I try to stay away from the office as much as possible.

For all the Falcon wannabees.

I'm not an office pilot but a plain simple line pilot. I don't mind responding questions about falcon, employment terms or whatever. But since I got a lot of PM's about Falcon I think it might be easier to clear up the most asked questions

Salary:

First officer +/- 10.000 Dhs
Captain +/- 15.000 Dhs
The UAE does not have a tax on your salary.

30 days off p/a

Route network

Dubai, Bahrain, Doha, Kuwait, Talil, Al Asad, Bagdad, Kirkuk, Rijadh en Jeddah.

Dubai is defintely the pearl of the middle east, nice apartments and party scene, booze...

People who are doing the recruiting (alphabetically)
Mustafa Ali (chief pilot)
Bevan Dods (Senior check and training captain)
Steven Sanchez (Director of operations)

If you send them an email [email protected](not sure on that address) and they don't answer..keep in might something might have wrong or the mail got lost.

The best thing is give those guys a call. I'm more then sure they'll be happy to talk to them. In regard to the previous posts they won't harras you on the interview. It's really relaxed and all they want to know what kind of person you are and if you fit in.

As far as putting CV's on top...Standard fee US$ 500,-. That's if I ever find out where they keep them

I'm more then happy to answer all the other questions, hope this helps you guys out a bit.

Hope you'll be the FNG, that's Falcon New Guy, but we call it

I've been thinking about throwing my hat in the ring for a while, but not sure how safe it is for the little lady.
Do many of the lads have partners with them over there, or is it mainly a bachelors pad.
What are the rules for females being employeed over there? The misses is a teacher if that helps.

Cheers in advance

Flying Mechanic

Its probably 50/50 with regard to partners.Plenty of schools here for expats , so I would imagine your good lady would be able to find a job no worries.
Dubai is very safe place to live and a great life style to be had by all , and people are very social aswell.
All the best,
FM

Hey Coaster, i just bought a car, you want to do a run up to the Barra?
