Yes a captains salary in FZ is the same as and first officers salary in Etihad or Emirates such is the cost of living in the Middle East. I would consider all other carriers in both seats even if you have to swap to the right seat which so many have done in flydubai. This will have huge implications when you come to leave/retire as your end of service benefits is based on your basic salary. Basic salary looks to be a reduced package to the current one.So you will be doing the same work as your co works for a lot less money.

Man, first of all, neither Etihad or Emirates will hire again in the next years. Second, for most of us who lost the job for this stupid pandemic, we just need to get back in the air, we have to pay bills and feed our family. Things will improve in the next few years, for the time being we cannot afford to be picky. Now I dont care if my collegue get more paid than me. If I was rich, I would considere to go fishing to Maldives, but because its not the case, I just need an opportunity to get back in line, and Flydubai is a really good one. More will come. Please think twice before writting! Cheers and good luck

Don’t shoot the messenger here ….. however .. News from a “friend of a friend” said Captain recruitment was specifically aimed at specific people they wanted to hire ! Fo recruitment as normal
The plan is to review other Captain applicants for a February start and to be on line by May
As I said don’t shoot the messenger ….So if you applied as a Capt you won’t hear for a few months

If you don’t care about the salary and need a job that bad. Flydubai is now recruiting cabin crew maybe apply there as you look at the company as a stepping stone. All airlines in the ME will be hiring in the next few months.

So when you ask a bank for a mortgage, loan etc what do they ask you? Do they factor in allowances and flight hours ? No they don’t! When you get your end of service benefit under UAE law it is based on your BASIC. This school allowance you talk of does not make sense. If you are collecting that then you will not save a dirham on housing as you have a family. When I was there most guys had to add to the housing allowance from their BASIC salary. I believe housing for a skipper is 155k a year now. Try pay for a villa, dewa, internet in the UAE on that. Do you take it out of the schooling allowance of a kid ? Thought that was for education.

Rumours are that at least until January they will only call Type Rated.
I am not so that means that I have to wait at least until February or even later 😩
Honestly I consider Flydubai an excellent option. They have some kind of balanced rosters, mix of turnaround and layovers. The money is quite good at least for me. My son is now on his own and me and my wife won’t mind to come back to Dubai till retirement.
But, again, we all are different.

Yes the money and package is amazing in flydubai. Everyone should join flydubai because there is a large diaspora of people with kids aged 19-21 who can claim an education allowance. Emirates don’t pay that! You really are clutching at straws. They did not even pay the BASIC salaries or allowances to loads of pilots/engineers or cabin crew the last year while still operating, You are far from ever giving a balanced narrative.

Ok now I know you’re talking rubbish. My mate lives in Dubai, moved last year and he has a 4 bed villa with pool and he paid 140k AED. He is not a pilot.
Company he works for pays him a basic and he gets a bonus on top of this.
When he got his car they asked him his salary and told them his basic and bonus. All they needed to see was last 6 months salaries with the bonus and they took an average.
So yes everything you are saying is BS.
