I'm going to Istambul 4 and 5

Seems to be a lot of rush heading to Istanbul as CTC era comes to an end. My friend has also received invitation for Istanbul and Accommodation and transportation has been provided by the agency. No money no 210 GBP involved.

Yeah I applied in flydubai's website for Southampton. And selected when the Dubai slot opened up. It works out the same for me as Istanbul as my airline flies to dxb. Nevertheless at Istanbul thru meccti is a good bet.

What happens once you're selected through the type rated assessment centre and you clear the interview in Dubai? What training does the company give before you are released as a first officer? How long does that take?

Any idea about the kind of assessment in Istanbul

Hello,
The assessment is for two days. Second day is the simulator. Can anybody who has been through a screening for FZ be kind enough to explain about the examination, interview and the simulator?

Regards

'On the moon scenario'. Can some one arrange in the order of importance if stuck on the moon


1. signal flare
2 solar powered fm
3 magnetic compass
4 map
5 first aid kit
6 a small tank of oxygen
7 portable heating unit
8 food


Thanks

Mgggpilot,


Are you looking for somebody to do your assessment for you ?

Mgggpilot, you're missing the point. It's not the order that matters, it's how you justify your decisions (thought process) and most importantly how you behave and interact with the others.

Big mistake.First you need to put food.When we did the interview we all agreed that we need to stick on the moon with food and drinks and do nothing ....we all passed....so only food and drinks and party all the time....they will like the descision.

It's ID 50&90 with EK, in eco and business. ID90 with Air Arabia and on Flydubai itself it's also ID50&90 in eco and business. No other airlines yet. I hardly use it so other Flydubai colleaugues pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Our own stafftravel policy has recently changed for the better. It now matches what we had with Air Arabia in terms of price. Saves a drive to Sharjah.

With Flydubai we can now check the actual loads a few months ahead and do it all online too, with EK the traffic light system was recently introduced. Far better than what we had previously which was nothing. We don't have the app the EK guys have to check EK loads. I believe the EK system has recently changed whereby you can only check actual loads 2 days prior but best to check that with a buddy at EK. Bear in mind we get lower priority on EK than the guy who cleans the toilets. No disprespect...

I believe we have a IATA audit in FEB so pending the outcome we might get Z-fares with many more airlines at some point this year. Again, not confirmed and it depends on the deals done with the other airlines.

So far it's a lot bette than it was and slowly improving further.

A Flydubai Boeing 737-800, registration A6-FEK performing flight FZ-215 from Dubai (United Arab Emirates) to Baghdad (Iraq), landed on Baghdad's runway 15L when shots, fired from the Al-Radwaniya area just south of the airport, hit the aircraft causing damage to the aircraft. The aircraft rolled out without further incident.

Local media report two passengers received injuries as result of three rounds of shots were fired.

Airport officials reported the aircraft received damage, there were no casualties.

The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Baghdad.

Hope Crew are fine probably must be a Ferry Flight back to DXB depending on Damage obviously.

Hello Flydubay pilots,

I've applied for a NTR DEC capt in october. Anybody has an idea of how long I should wait before expecting some answer ?
Many thanks

On Flydubai;

ID50 is employee, spouse and 3 kids (<19yrs) AND 5 other people. (for those people only economy)
ID90 is same as above BUT NOT the 5 other people.

No buddy system undortunately. Wrt to EK/Air Arabia it is just you, spouse and 3 kids. (<19yrs)
