the article begins...

The airline received more than 11,500 applications from flight and cabin crew, it said. Out of more than 8,000 candidates for pilots alone, 61 captains and 18 first officers, representing more than 12 nationalities have been selected.

There's some added-value info in another other FD thread (esp on page 2): http://www.pprune.org/middle-east/36...ng-info-2.html and, in particular, the link to:

FMC OVERHEAT

I always keep getting this when applying using the email on their website.
Something is really weird...

FMC OVERHEAT - thanks for the feedback.

Can I just confirm that you sent an email... and that this was not a response from the on-line application form?

In any event I would strongly suggest that you (and / or anybody else) use the link I have provided (see above) to make applications, as I know for a fact that these are being received into our recruitment database.

Right now we simply do not have the staff to open hundreds of emails, trawl through attachments, and filter out the likely candidates. We do however have someone who will be looking at / filtering applications recieved into the database from the on-line form.

For those who have applied using the on-line form, and who haven't received a email confirmation, I will get someone from the office (which probably means it'll be me) to send you an email (using the email address you've supplied... now in our database) so that you can sleep easy that you application hasn't simply disappeared into the Internet's ether.

Nb. Hands up on our part that we didn't realise that an email confirmation hadn't been included in the backend processing of the on-line form.... so we've asked our web development team to make a change so that after a submission successfully enters the database we'll then send you an email to that effect..... and which reminds me that I must go and prod the web development team to get that link up on the main website.

On a personal note, for those who've been PM'ing me, I'm sorry that I haven't responded.. but we've got a big push on at the moment and it leaves very few hours in the day (indeed I'm typing this at 6:45am.... not even had a moment to slurp my tea,.. and which is now cold).

@Old King Coal

I get this rejection message everytime I try to send an email to [email protected] It was NOT an issue with the online application form.

I did however filled in the application form using the link you provided but I didn't get any email confirming that it was received. (and I was wondering why I am having trouble to sleep these days, this might be the reason!)

Anyways I just sent you a PM.

Old King Coal Thanks a lot for keeping us updated so precisely, this is really appreciated.

Regarding uploading the application form to your website, I would recommend you to check with value manage if there is any issue using the online form through firefox (issue with the small calendar applets), also when selecting the "not currently flying" option, the form should not consider the "current aircraf" field as a mandatory one (I had to chose one in the list and opted for the concorde ). Beside these minor details I found this application form easy and fast to submit on the contrary of many others.

Kezler

Filled out the on line application form...then hit save at the bottom and the page re-loaded with a blank application form...same one....hmmmm....did it go through?

dire straits

I second kezler, the same happened to me.
Anyone with a solution to this?

S.F.L.Y

A blank form appearing after submission might be normal but I think you should at least get a kind of small pop-up window confirming the submission.

Kezler

No pop up, and the button at the end was "save" not "send".... think the form may have disappeared into the internet ether....plus no reply from the system that it had been recieved

Guinness Girl

Is anyone out there going to the assessment scheduled for April 12 and 13th? If so send me a PM and maybe we can get together for dinner the night before.

Paper Lad

When I completed the form and pressed 'save' I got a pop up stating "details successfully saved". I then checked 'OK' and it then reverted to the blank form.

Stillnot had any other response though

I was told yesterday that there will be no response sent to an application at the moment . They dont have the manpower to reply to each applicant .There are so many applying that the web site was taken down to be revamped .On the 6th it will be rebooted .Then I BELIEVE you can expect an auto reply .
THE GOOD NEWS ;They will be recruiting all year.

Cheers

Old King Coal

Cuberoute - that's about right.

Fwiw, I've been closely involved with helping to get the on-line application form(s) set-up so that they work in a user friendly manner (indeed I've been sending emails back-and-forth this very morning, to our web developers, on this very subject). Once the developers have got it sorted (they're working on it as I type) we'll get it up to the main server asap!
The improved functionality should provide the following:

• A page (not a pop-up) that tells you if your 'submit' was successfully stored in our database.
• Send you an email to also confirm that we've got your application stored in our database.
• In that email will be a link to a page to allow you to retrospectively view your application, as stored in our database.

Wrt to the main FD website going down?... I did hear something to that effect, but I understand it's more a function of something to do with the Commercial Department revamping certain parts of the website than for any other reason, and during which I'd rather hope that we can keep the recruitment pages active; we'll see.

Paper Lad

I guess that they must have my application 'cos I have just been sent a promotional e-mail headed "We've been busy setting up a new airline"...like I didn't already know.
