Hi all,
Great to see some recruitment happening around the world. I am a redundant 737 left seat driver.
Applied for DEC and within 5 hours invite to aptitude tests. 10 mins after submitting aptitude test invite to Video Interview.
I would much appreciate some information on the questions asked during video interview.
Many thanks (Look forward to shouting you a drink)

The online test is not as difficult as the LPJ one, specially the "complex control" which is the Missile Test. In regards to the ipad i really don't know. i did it in my pc to avoid compatibility problems

Emirates operate something like 400 wide body aircraft. Compare flydubai to and -100 fleet in a 3rd world country and it’s up there with lion air per movement. Compare it to any other Middle Eastern low cost carrier? by all means join, just to let you know you have been warned.

Or this that never made any papers! As I say ask current pilots, search carefully. Look at the previous posts from transport jock and his hyenas all about flydubai and recruitment agenda.

Er no because this is an open pilot forum and alternate views are available. Not least to probably warn futilely that fz is a toxic airline with a less than impressive safety record managed by some Olympic level sociopaths who all in their own way contributed to the tragic aforementioned hull loss. Still, none so blind etc. Personally I would rather drive an HGV than work for those muppets again.

FZ has pros and cons like any other airline.
Current pay figures for Captain is 11200US$ fixed allowance + 54US$ for every block hour flown + 2.4US$/hr layover allowance.
Current FO pay figures is 8200US$ + 36.5 US$/ block hour flown + 2.4US$/hr for layovers.
These are reflective of the deductions all the crew are currently facing which looks like is here to stay.
The rosters are currently a mix of day/night trips with anywhere between 1-4 layovers and an average of 11-13days off. Monthly average hours flown has been gradually going up from 40-50/month in peak summer to almost 60-70 at the moment.
The company has canceled all the forced unpaid leave for all the flight crew from 2022 and hiring is expected to be in full swing according to the desk riders.

I heard about applicant number for FZ, over 20,000 applicant for DEC and FO, is that true guys? Amazing number, it show how bad is the industry and it’ll take many years to recover unfortunately

It is possible, they were looking for Non Rated and rated applicants, the questions is how many of them are current and rated on 737NG...and if these applicants will have priority over non rated ones or not...
Turbulence or whatever your name is you could not be more wrong about me. Apart from the fact I have been married for decades and never repeat never have anything to do with social media let alone denigrate my SO on aforesaid medium. Just because you don’t like hearing the facts you resort to insults hiding in traditional cowardly fashion behind your keyboard. It beggars belief that one can make wildly inaccurate assumptions about people when in reality it is a failure to recognise the truth. I certainly left fz a long time ago but recognise the chaos, incompetence and malevolence which ultimately led to many innocent people losing their lives. If you want to work for them, feel free, I let go a long time ago but I don’t forget. Deal with it. I won’t be replying to any more of your puerile drivel.

From a personal experience of working at FZ for many years, I happen to agree with Desertboki and olster. The most toxic company I have ever worked for. The cabin crew and fellow pilots were awesome.

Thanks what to do. I agree ref fellow pilots and crew, a very good bunch. Fz also wins my gold medal for toxicity. I have only contributed here to enlighten the unwary but deaf ears I guess. Cheers.

what-to-do
Me too what to do, when I worked there I made many friends, the crew are awesome people. I still have lots of friends working there. The company itself is toxic and the scudule will lead you to an early grave as they have got rid of AIMs. Does anyone else think turbulence FL360 and transport jock are the same person. Lol . Another posters on all things flydubai hehe. I would love to hear old king coals take on the company.
