No reason to be a total jerko and bung hole Tahir....How do you pronounce bemused?....With a thick pakistani accent?...Do you also shake your head when you say it?...
If you are 20 as your profile indicates, you are nothing more than a second officer puck..(with all due respect to S/Os)...

This said...OZ boy, you could surely make an effort on the spelling and the form. It ain't cool to spell like an idiot...try QR Second Officer.....they might consider you.

@azax: I'm in the same boat as you. Ignore these so called English spelling experts. They are here to spam and waste resources. QR also requires ATPL, so no chance over there. Try applying for Etihad cadetship, they may shortlist you there.

Good luck.

PS. Where were you in Australia?

With your level of experience I doubt any of the big airlines will currently be interested...you might try the turboprop operators...but without an ATPL it will be tough.
I suggest you ignore OMDB Pilot and brush up your english!

Good luck anyway

@noflare,
Can you suggest which turboprop operators would be best to apply in.
Currently have FAA CPL/IR mulit and single, with CFI, CFII and MEI.
TT 910 and instructional 610. 25 on multi.
also hold Pakistani CPL/IR and frozen ATPL

azax,

I really would have thought at this stage your best bet would have been back in Aus, looking for bush charter and regional work. That's a lot more fertile that India or th ME for someone of your experience. Do you have Indian nationality? The are about to institute a ban on foreign FOs, so I'm not sure what job you think you'll get there.

As for the ME, most ex-pat jobs are for higher experienced guys, and there is little in the way of GA flying.

If it were me, I'd go home and head North.

Also, I do concur about learning how to communicate properly in written English.

To the so called "English experts" in this forum, there's a huge article in Gulf news today:

http://www.gulfnews.com/nation/Technology/10215461.html

The sad part is that the language has been raped and murdered twice in England, where we really expect people to speak properly! I was shocked by my recent visit there as half of the words kid spoke were in slang!

Anyhow, I apologize to get this thread off-track, but I wanted to share this article with people who believe English is everybody's mother tongue!

Nope, not everyones mother tongue- just the official language of aviation which, if I'm not mistaken, is what this forum is supposed to be about!!

People dont come here to fly planes! And is there any place where tower corrects your pronounciation or your grammar??? Dont think so! People are here to read and gossip on rumours related to Aviation from diffirent regions of the world. This is just a public forum for discussion and its very annoying when none of the initial replies are helpful. It will surely demotivate anyone from posting again. That was my whole point. Anyhow, I wouldnt like to take this thread off-topic any further.

Regards

Mr WizOfOz

Well english is not THE aviation official language, but ONE of the official languages... and it is not the Dubai official language, which is arabic, and arabic is also ONE ICAO aviation official language...

I'm little bit tired with these remarks usually coming from people who didn't make any effort to speak the language of the country they are living in.

I went last week to get my english level test at the emirates aviation college, and I don't understand why natives should automatically get a level 6 while some natives are not really easy to understand. I have nothing against people from Texas or Scotland, but some of them are not the easiest people to understand in a conversation. Aviation communication is not about being english native speaker or not, it's about about understanding. Some level 5 pilots are probably easier to understand than some level 6...

and it is not the Dubai official language
No, but it IS the official language of Australia, which is where the original poster is from, and is the one he will be sitting exams in and writing CVs and applications in!! It is also the official language of Emirates, and most other ME carriers.Was it really, therefore, such a xenophobic suggestion that he get a bit better at communicating clearly in it? Sans complains that native English speakers don't do so clearly, then has a go at me for suggesting an Aussie do so!!

The guy asked for Career advice, and I gave it to the best of my ability!
