I've to agree Dubai is totally save for women no gurka's or other kind of local dressing required. I think it shouldn't be to hard for your mrs to get a job.

But Dubai might be dangerous place for husbands (lots and lots of shops)..Like FM says it's 50/50 bachelors/relationships.

I'll give you a call FM bout the Baracuda need to do some tourist things first.

Did somebody could give me the tel for Mustafa Ali or Steven Sanchez. I would like to work for this company. I have 3500 hours on fk50 including 1500h as line training Captain.
Thanks.

TriTar as you might know the F27 & F50 typeratings are not the same it will take the local authorities not much to deny your validation. Secondly Read the old stories about falcon and keep in mind the F27 is an old old bird that climbs like a rock.....atleast more then 300FPM Think about the last couple of days in Iraq because that's where you are going.

If you still want to join Falcon Tel +(971)042826886

People are leaving in the next month. So far bout 4 pilots leaving. So I guess they'd start hiring once again.

Whats the situation regarding the ATR, im not sure but have Falcon got one operating ? and if so whats the deal with crews for this a/c,is it on a wet/dry lease, are the crews from internal promotions ?

Flying Mechanic

The ATR is gone.To replace it they wet leased a F27 from Farnair.The company has just bought its own F27 which will used mainly on Iraq flights.Also they have started using a AN12 for the Baghdad runs, and the 1900's now do Talil, Al arsard , Balad and Kirkuk.Not sure how much longer the Farnair F27 will be around.

Hope that helps.
Cheers FM

Do falcon still require new hire Beech drivers to get type rated?

If so i found another place to do the type rating. it is in the US and its about US$7000. I dont have the link right now but if you search for Flight Training International. It seems that they use United Airlines Sims, so I dont know whos 1900 sim they use, I guess they have their own!

PM me if you cant find it and Ill dig up the link....

I'm in Dubai visiting right now till the end of the month, wondered if anyone worked for them, or knew if they were hiring at this time..
Any help is appreciated...
thanx

masalama

Best of luck....

ashwinrao

I spoke to him, and he said I'd need 300+ multi time and a Beech 1900 type rating... so *sigh* sadly I don't meet those requirments...
the joys of being a low time pilot
the search goes on!

Gday fellas,

just a quick one in regards to Falcon ex.
anyone know if theyre currently hiring, and what theyre minimums are?

Do you need to have a tyoe rating on the B1900?

is it true theyre getting ATR72?

Cheers!

propje

It depends on your background, if you have some multi time they will do the type for you, if not, you have to get a 1900 type. They don't have the ATR anymore it was a bit of a debacle that exercise. No hires have to fly to Iraq.

I mean, NEW hires have to fly to Iraq

Coastrider26

Hiring is a "ongoing process" at Falcon my best bet is that they have atleast 15 guys on file at the moment. ATR is gone for bout a year now and is replaced by a Fokker F-27 so far no gossip bout a ATR72.

Have to agree with propje on the min on the hiring policy

DEOne

Beware! This outfit is run by a couple of cowboys who didn't even understand the implications of the ATR performance criteria for the entire period that it was with them. Hence the cooked engines and return to lessor.

freightdog81

Well that's not entirely true. The PAKI is gone to a better job, he's now an inspector with GCAA i heard.....

Flying Mechanic

Great party last night at G-mans and B Dogs flat warming!!

Any contact details pls. cheers !

flyingcircus

hey flying spanner and coast watcher,

are they still paying the 500 dirams per flight into iraq? or is most the flying going out to that russian mob, and whos house warming?

Flying Mechanic

Yep still paying the HUGE 500 DHS to go IRAQ!

The AN12 gets used on regular basis and a IL76 when the loads get really big.The F27 went up to Balad last week aswell.

Cheers FM
