You are mixing everything all together...
First without disrespect for the workers here , you can not compare them with airlines pilots.
These poor guys can barely read , have no education and are coming from third world countries have their passport confiscated and park in the middle of the desert and as far as I know most of the pilots here are coming from Europe , USA , Australia etc... with a good level of education have their passport with them and live in nice villas.

Second , who is talking about a strike , you can refuse to fly to some destinations but accept to fly to all the other ones , this for me is not called a strike.

Third , as I said before if only 2 or 3 pilots refuse than they could be in trouble but if the majority stick together , do you think that they will put all of them in jail !!!
I doubt it , it would be a very bad publicity for an airline that try to dominate the aviation world.

are there any car rental companies that do a rate for fz pilots?

Try Dollar car rental.

Dubaigong, time and time again management tell us that situations are monitored on a daily basis. I trusted their efforts and judgement but this clearly proves they are hopelessly out of their depth. I will never trust FZ management again.
Its almost as if the monitoring program has been implemented so that management can fly a route and then, after a disaster, claim due diligence by saying "But we had implemented an action plan to identify and monitior this hot spot". That makes it ok for the CEO, COO who will be blameless!

I think you have missed my point...
I don't say that I trust or that you have to trust FZ management.
Now that you claim that you are not trusting them , will you stop flying to these dangerous destinations ???
My point is that the fact that you claim on this website that FZ management should not be trusted will not change anything until you and FZ fellow pilots stand up and tell them that from today they will refuse to fly to those destinations for safety reasons.

"Flight Radar" showed FZ5728 departing IEV this afternoon, so I guess nothing's changed as far as FZ is concerned!

skysod: here's the route of today's FDB5728... seemingly, and hopefully, well clear of any hotspots.

O K, How long was the flight time? how many crews?

Fair enough...am happy to fly that route.......still astonished that there has been nothing official from the company......the silence is deafening!!

Outbound 05:23, inbound 05:03. Should be able to operate that with a standard crew config. (13 1/4hrs FDP allowed)

flydubai continues expansion

See reply #2592. Been discussed already.

Is the interview round for non-type rated pilots in Hamilton, NZ still happening?

Raropilot,

I just spoke to my mate there. I posted in the pacific GA forum.

The Pacific: General Aviation & Questions - PPRuNe Forums

Mumbai added to the network, 5 times a week. Delhi now increased to 5 times a week too.

Another shocking night turn to add to every other India route we do.
Ah well that one won't be making an appearance on my bid sheet (just like all the others)!!

Are FZ crews doing any nightstops nowadays?

With the new Business class, are FZ Captains and family allowed ID tickets in C?

Current average Captains salary for new-joiners? There are many variations circulating the net...

Thanks,

D.

Only night stops are in DAC and CMB.

Crew sitting in Business class our illustrious HR department refuses to update the staff travel policy to allow any flight crew the chance to purchase C or even be upgraded at the gate. The rumor is that it's another case of the "we're all equal" communist hag trying to get her cronies into the forward part of the cabin and not just the flight crews as it is at EK. This issue should handled like at every other real airline, award the open seats in seniority order by date of joining.

G'day all
I just got an email inviting me to come to the UK assessment on the 14th of august.
Does anyone know anything about the selection process?
Has anyone done it already?
Is it some pipe dream scam or is this a good opportunity?
Personally I think it is, but I would appreciate feedback from anyone in the know.
Cheers!

Found this pretty standard interview but there were a few lines in there I have not seen before.

I’m sure we will require even more, because it’s a stepping stone. (about more 737's on top of 50 & 111 order)

and

...or unless you get a bigger aircraft and we’re not getting bigger aircraft.
