yeah you are quite right on some points. I will just amend

management is toxic, it might be, never saw any of our chiefs face by face in 4.5 years, so for me, I don’t care if they are toxic, because I don’t deal with them.

ACNs are quite reduced and no changes in manual anymore…. Before it was crazy, yes.

Upgrade is joke, not really, but you don’t have any training and it can be fast ( I did in 1.3 years), or not, some guys who did the interview at that time, still FOs.

defaulting in UAE, yes, you re right, no mercy, you may end up in jail, but for me is very dumb to move yourself to the desert and spend all you cash here, it’s better not even come, stay with your 5k euros after taxes in Europe and be happy.

yes bidding is gone, but swapping still a light in the end of the tunel, huge loss for the community.

yes the flight deck environment is amazing, and that’s The main point, it’s the people you dealt day by day, keep saying management is toxic is bla bla bla, if you do your job properly you never gonna see their faces.

another point to have in mind is, yes, rules changes without community consent, this is all over Middle East, no unions to fight for our rights. If you come knowing this, you be happy otherwise you gonna end up like our fellow colleagues in this thread.

Seems as if the links on the FD recruitment website are gone. Given the huge amount of interest, suppose no suprise

Are not, they just added another positions and these went down on the line. Just check where it says, see all jobs positions. Then you will find them.

They are indeed still there, but if you click on the job it does say that they are no longer accepting applications

For the guys who did already the video questions, can you log in and see the questions and then answer them within 5 days or you have to answer them right then?
Thanks

Middle East is more like quick sand guys. You'll be tempted to get in but it's not easy to get out. Or it will be too late to do so.
Don't leave your home country jobs, whatever it is. But anyways no choice for unemployed. Good luck !

Flyboy is right, do not leave a flying job in your home country! I like the quick sand reference!

I would love to hear old king coals take on the company.
Well, I'd love to oblige you, but - five years after having escaped the place - I'm only just finishing my post-FZ psychotherapy counselling & ECT (electroconvulsive therapy). Plus that my team of psychiatrists has warned me to have nothing whatsoever to do with FZ ever again, lest the nightmares, and the foaming at the mouth, and the Tourettes all restart... and they'd be very angry if they found out that I was commenting in here... aside: I'm amazed that I can get a wireless signal inside this padded room and I'll confess that Siri's speech-to-text function has been of great utility (what with me unable to type due to being constrained within this rather strange white suit with its zips & buckles down the back). So, it's probably best that I desist from venting my FZ spleen, just in case I were to say something true but regrettable (and about which it's mostly all been said already, i.e. great colleagues, but...)... oh those voices inside my head, will they ever stop?... "Crewing here. Yes Captain, we're calling you out for night Bishkek. Report immediately"... "Duck & Dive"... "Envelopes of happiness"... "GCAA's 18-30 hour rule"... "But it's legal, Captain"... "Please be guided accordingly".
Ah well, I must (dish)dash as it's time for matron to give me my medication and for gawds sake please don't tell anybody that I was in here, or that nasty man will put those electric paddle things on my head again... I used to be normal you know, before FZ.

🤣 thanks for the good laugh!
I had almost forgotten the famous/infamous "please be guided accordingly" 😂

Sorry for this post. I didn't realise that there will be a list of tests once I clicked the link.
