Non type Rated DEC
Hi guys! Any info regarding interview invitation for NTR captains? Specially those with Airbus type? I heard that they prefer MD80 captains rather than Airbus guys...

- I was interviewed in 2013, don't think I had to pay but not surprised if this has changed.
- I would think that they would make it very clear if you are on the CADET program in the email. If you are a normal applicant (Direct entry FO either TR or NTR) then you do not pay for your type rating. It is done at CAE in dubai and you are bonded by the company for 3 years to prevent you from leaving after 6 months. But no out of pocket expense.
- If you are a Cadet...then yes, you pay for your type rating and enter as a Second Officer.
From your information I think you're just a normal FO entry...do the interview, and you'll get a training slot in CAE dubai. If you pass! Good luck
Hope this helps.

They charge that fee because they know you suckers will pay it!! Get a grip and avoid company's like CTC & rishworth etc.
You know I was invited for interview recently by a similar size airline in Asia and they paid all expenses including my flights to & from my home, hotel, even breakfast lunch & dinner was included.
FZ is a rip off company heading towards ridiculous T&C 10K for FO & 15K for skippers is a disgrace considering you will fly in to rocket attack zones & live in hell hole Dubai.
They need to pay you for interview! And up those salaries by at least 30%

@transport jock,
If you worked at FZ you would know that the salaries quoted are indeed quite realistic.
FO salary of 39,000 AED = 10,600 USD
CP salary of 54,000 AED = 14,700 USD
Salaries are approximate and include flight pay.

For those not in the know, the local UAE currency (aka, the Dirham / Dhs / AED) is hard-wired to the US Dollar (USD) at a rate of approximately 3.673 Dhs / $1 USD, though other currencies are at the mercy of flexible exchange rates, and therein (using todays rates) for the the British Pound and Euro, those numbers look as follows:
FO monthly salary of 39,000 AED = $10,618 USD ≈ £6,978 GBP ≈ €9,134 EUR
CP monthly salary of 54,000 AED = $14,701 USD ≈ £9,662 GBP ≈ €12,646 EUR
Nb. The above figures are effectively 'net' (well, at least for UK expats they are
) and the above figures typically represent what gets paid into ones bank account during most months (albeit a bit less when you've taken holiday, as then the flight pay element is not there).

One critical omission here. You haven't yet paid your rent 
To put this in perspective - an average captain at EK makes roughly 20-30% more with all the extra benefits.
My point is this: don't forget that these sums do not include paying rent and other significant expenses. The cost of living in Dubai is high, especially with kids.

Also don't forget the average time to command at EK is what, 5 years? At flydubai it's roughly 2 years. So you get a 3 year head start with a captains salary to make up that difference. Seeing most people tend to hang around this corner of the globe for about 5-7 years I'd say you're not bad of at flydubai. Granted I haven't run any maths to back this up as I'm just to lazy right now.
