I also applied to FZ. Did all the tests and online interview. Could have done better at the tests but hey it’s done now.
Like someone else said 18 months of no income. Debts growing daily here. Living in the UK and had 0 help from the government. They couldn’t give a rats ****. Uk license all but useless now.
Anyway from people I know who worked and a fair few at FZ it’s really not that bad. Aviation is 24/7/365. If you want 9-5 with weekends and Xmas off plenty of dull office jobs.
Fingers crossed for all those who are looking to get back into the flight deck.

bettigio, that’s fine by me. I know times are hard. There are lots in flydubai in the same position. There are no bankruptcies laws in the UAE. If you get into debt there, you go to jail. Do not trust the Middle East to solve you financial woes. Do your research and ask current pilots should you join this company with the current situation. None will advise joining. Better jobs will turn up. You could be waiting another 18 months before a start date.
OKC you are absolutely correct. I had completely forgotten about him. Hilarious retrospectively. Cheers.

Spot on about what ? It’s very vague to say I work days and nights. I had 10 days off a month before .10 off month a month working a in a 24/7 operation. From memory the contract is 8 legal days off a month. Have you seen his colleges roster from FZ 981 or the aerobatics of FZ1736 a few years ago? I heard it was very similar to Rostov. What improvements have they made to rostering safety since? Last I heard the GCAA had approved 17 hour duty days.

Any clue how many hrs do they start upgrading FOs? I believe it is not that terrible after all better than serving at Starbucks. Is there any sort of progression?

You do sound like a sour ex employee 😂 Roster really isn't that bad. Mix of nights, day flights and layovers. And we rarely get to do those long days that the GCAA has approved. After the "aerobatics" of said flight, our night deadheads were immediately cancelled. So FZ had done something about it..

Big bottleneck of upgrades now but should start in the near future. Upgrade requirements are 4000 TT, 2000 on NG's (Classics and jurassics don't count) and 2 years in company.

Thanks. I did. Which is exactly why I’m asking here again. The LPJ modules seem to run fine on the iPad. And the complex/multitasking games work better on touch screen. So I assumed that maybe the same may be true of the actual assessments and they might work on iPad.

So all night dead heads have stopped for good now? How about day dead heads are they still going ? JV introduced AIMs for planning. Swaps, bidding etc. I heard it’s suspended indefinitely. What system are they using now ? How does it work ?
