The sim is managed and maintained by CAE but the sim ride is conducted by EK people no CAE instructors. It is a 737-800 sim. If you really want to track down FD HR people, you might want to go through EK Hr. I hope that helps, good luck.

@skybus 69 FATBUS: what dou you mean "unfortunately stby for FD"?

I think he means watch for delays in startup.

Thanks for the post Fly2AK.
I'll try to find my way through EK HR department to get some info on FD and check the status of my application but I would of course appreciate any direction helping me to reach the right person.

Thanks for the help.

It would not hurt to update your appl, but I think they have hired 30+ Capts and this interviewing maybe for FO's.

fly2AK

Not sure when they plan to do their next interviews. As far as DWC airport, I know they plan to operate out of DXB for the next few years, so there is no expected delay that I know of at this time or that they have lead us to believe. I am not sure if they are doing like EK as far as interviews,but if they are, then interviews aren't taking place every month rather only a couple times a year and I believe that FD is following the EK interview model. Don't know if that helps.

My understanding was that the FlyDubai operation was to be from the New Al Maktoum Airport not DXB. Is this correct?

fly2AK

During my interview I was told that the initial plans are to operate out of DXB for roughly the next 5 years and FD will be investing a healthy amount of money into their terminal at DXB as well as a HQ there at DXB.

Fly Dubai will operate from Terminal 2 on the North side of the airport

fly2AK

Yarra is correct

Awl flyer

Hey Cargo!!! They just must be taking time to fall back and regroup. Something will change I'm sure. I think everybody is hit with the recession.

fly2AK

Tommy and Cargo...Not sure why you guys haven't been called for an interview. Both of you have plenty of time, but I am not sure how they score their resumes. I wish you the best of luck.

On another note I was just curious if anyone else got an email to proceed with their final two medical exams?

I had an interview scheduled with FlyDubai back in October, 2008. It was canceled just a few days prior, citing the Boeing strike and the staggered delivery of the aircraft. Since then, I never heard back. When I queried them, they said they would contact me when the interviews were to resume.
I have around 12,000 TT with 2600 PIC NG plus 1000 plus on the B737-200.

fly2AK

What position were you interviewing for, captain? If so that might be the reason why they haven't called you back, the January interviews as far as I know were FO's. It's just my guess, for what its worth. I have 10,000 ttl typed in the 737 with 4 additional types, but my 737 time is under 1000 hrs. I do have 5000 PIC Jet/Turbine. Obviously I interviewed for an FO position. Good luck to you and everyone else.

I applied and was being considered for a Capt slot.
