Depends on your experience and background of course, but in the northwestern part of the Gulf Region, but in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Aramco has hired experienced DHC-8 First Officers, and in Bahrain the DHL contractor operates a fleet of Metroliners.

If you have ATR experience, Oman Air may be interested in talking with you also, although I have no ideas on their requirements. Donīt know what goes on in the UAE.

Hi Springbok.

Thanx for bringing that question up, also looking for job abroad.

If looking into S.A. or africa in generall, what can you recommend for companies for flying turb-prop? Me rated on the 90-200 king air family.
Now checking the skies in northern europe but I want to land in the bushes.

Hey
It used to be that you had to deal with a Guy at Falcon Express called Steve Sanchez. This guy is a total waste of time, and you should avoid dealing with him at all costs.

Good luck to you

Your statement means nothing.
Please, give more exact info?
Many pilots would like to know, why? No one like to waste time.
Fact is, SS is the Director of Flight Operation, if any one would like to join his company, the person has to deal with him, regardless.

Hi All

I am new to this forum and I have read a lot of slender & a lot of good
things, this forum seem to attract all kinds of aviators from all walks of
life. As you will notice this my first post, so please guys be gentle with
me .


yo-ho

I have just seen your reply and I figured to ask couple of Qs since you
seem to be working at Falcon Express or have some sort of affiliation.
A good freind of mine seem to be interseted in joining FE I hear him
talking about the company every time ME subject comes up, & he has
been to DXB few times (not on job hunt) and he loves it. I am just
wondering what sort of requirement a person must have in order to
get a job with FE? would you be kind enough to provide me with the
info. so I can pass it on to him?

Thanks .. well appreciated!

Thumbs up FECA

Falcon Express Cargo Airlines, Dubai, is in general a good company to work with, have anyone heard of a company where everything is perfect, ref EK, GF and others? There will always be someone complaining regardless. Right or wrong it is not up to me to say.
A job with FECA on F 27 or BE 1900 will give inexperienced pilots a lot of good experience they can use making a future career with major airliners.
As long as major airliners are recruiting, there will always be openings with similar companies like FECA world wide.
FECA requirements are; 500 hours total including 300 on multi and a license which UAE GCAA can accept. Type rating is not a requirement, but an advantage.
FECA management is fear and stick to the contract they have with their employees.
Are you interested in a position with FECA, send your CV to:
Falcon Express Cargo Airlines
P.O.B. 93722
Dubai
UAE
Good luck.

Most guys who've worked with FECA(including myself) have been there around 2-4 years, built up our time and moved on to fly jets elsewhere..it's a great company for the hours,it's usually a good bunch of pilots and I had a great time there....only crib would be the 0300 departures...had to set three alarm clocks to stumble out of bed...

Magnum rules....

It was told to me that the type rating on the B1900 + 100 hours on type are mandatory, what about it ?
