Hi guys,

how is the interview in Dubai?? I have passed the assessment in Southampton and now I have to go to Dubai after doing an online test, but I don´t know what´s going to happen.

The interview in DXB is pretty much a copy-paste of the one you had with ctc. Basically you are in, unless you really say something stupid during the interview. They just want to meet you and see your commitment in joining the company. Just be yourself and relax.
All the best!

Looks like they might be having a few non typed classes in september and october.. Got some word from a reliable source today..

cccc thank you for the feed back, I hope I go thru. September or October will be great to start. :-)

In the interview in Southampton we were told that FZ is not planning to hire many more pilots in the rest of the year because of the pool, if they hire it will be Type rated, and we were the last group so far, most of us NTR, but situation can change in a short notice and they will keep accepting applications so the moment they need they can put it together fast.

Regards all.

I'm not even on the property yet but my educated guess would be that they don't ,other wise they would publish that on their website.

At 275 hours you should be building time as an instructor, flying charter flights and anything to build time which adds experience.

Once you have that you can land that airline job.

Curious to how you have a type rating with only 275 hours?

I believe he meant having 275hrs on type. Let us hope thats not his total flying time !

latetonite

If he has 275 hrs on type, he is probably just checked out by the airline. Why would he leave? Or maybe not checked out at all, and kicked out with a license in his pocket? Then he seems to be from Nigeria, and writing funny English.
Any potential employer would raise doubts.

I applied for the NTR FO position back in April but I still have no news.
Does anybody happen to know what is more or less the normal waiting time to get a reply from them?...or i should consider myself rejected?
Thanks

Hello,
Having the B737 MAX more range than the NG, is Flydubai preparing some kind of long haul?

Hello everybody, i'm following PPRuNe since years, but i've been in the shade all the time .
Could anyone please give me an update about the guys whom are joining flydubai via the cae cadet type rating course?

How many during the last months?

Do you know anything about the numbers of people joining through this course for the future?

Last but not least: I have a medical limitation. Is this still an issue for the GCAA?

Many thanks

Capt Frizz,

Why would you come on an English speaking forum, specifically to a thread about FZ, an airlines whose working language is English and make a comment like.

You've got less total time than most of us have done on type since Easter. Unless you intend on staying in The Centre of Excellence for all of your life you need to speak something other than Yoruba, Igbo or whatever is your first language. You will need to work speaking English and you also clearly need to do more listening and less talking until you have gotten some time in.

The answer however to your original question is NO. Having the type rating and no time on type will not help you. You are either a cadet or an FO. If you want a job where you need no hours on type then go to FR.

I would also suggest that you might want to have a little attitude adjustment if you want to come and work somewhere like here. Life is hard enough in Dubai in some aspects and that won't be helped if you think the wwy you write!

SOPS

275 hours total? The world does not owe you a job on a big jet. I suggest you go and fly a Cessna around for a while, a big while, and get an attitude adjustment while you are doing it.

Time as change…as you said…this is what you want people think…it is not...

Dear Frizzy

I suggest Arik Air would be the perfect place for you to go. They would welcome you with open arms.

I think I can speak for the vast majority of my colleagues both here and there your attitude would be make you right at home.

You could even be chief pilot next week. To be fair you probably couldn't do a worse job.

Just take two pairs of sunglassess (only to be worn in hours of darkness), five mobile phones and a cocktail stick to chew on.

You will find a refreshing and open culture of like minded people. You can experience the joys of the Sheraton night club. Marvel at the new almost constant power supply and occasionally working air conditioning.

I would get in quick because according to a documentary I saw Lagos is very similar to London and is the next Dubai and Arik are going to be the Emirates of Africa.

We really wouldn't want you to miss out!

Hi guys

I have a class that starts at the end of July?

After emailing them my signed contract I have a couple of questions.

Do Flydubai mail your work visa or pick it up arriving in Dubai?

Also is there any study material to look at before arriving for class?

Thanks

flydream1982

They send you an email for your work visa. You have to print it and give it to the immigration desk at the airport on arrival.

Thanks for the info flydream1982, good to know.

Hi everybody

I have a question about the vaccination. I understood from joining forms that we are responsible for our own immunization before arrival. Besides two mandatory vaccines (Yellow Fever and Meningococcal) is it recommended to be vaccinated for more of them.

Thanks
