Just from reading this I see they are getting top quality candidates. Can't even use google maps/waze etc to work out for yourself how to get to the FZ HQ?

Not feasible to get the metro to work. You are operating from Terminal 2. And the metro is Terminal 3. It’s on the other side of the airport. I used to get a taxi and/or use the car parks provided at the operations centre. From car park to aircraft is potentially 10-15mins, since after the briefing room, you have your own immigration and customs area. Then a bus direct to the aircraft. All quite easy and simple.

You can walk from Al Qiyadah (that might be spelt wrong), in about 10 minutes, but you have to change metro lines if you’re coming from Sheikh Zayed Road or the marina, and you probably wouldn’t want to do it in Summer, or at rush hour when the metro gets very crowded and unpleasant. Cars are cheap, especially second hand on dubizzle, and the car park is right outside the crew reporting area, or taxis are cheap if you can’t or don’t want to drive.

departure to make VOR outbound interception, no FD, no MAP mode, just raw data, maintain 4000ft and instructed speed. then you will be doing ILS approach, go around, engine flameout during go around, get the checklist done, make a RNP approach with single engine and land. That's about it, no tricks and surprises. (Disclaimer On)
For 737 TR this should be just another day in the sim. For NTR, well, my pairing is NTR and he made it through

Stafftravel is really good if you ask me. You get EK, EY, LH, KL, UA and many many more. About 40+ airlines on myIDTravel. EK and EY also for parents and siblings. You, your family and parents also get J with EK,EY,LH. You get a confirmed ticket home each year too. Irrespective if flydubai or EK flies there. Good stafftravel on flydubai too. Although a bit expensive at the moment. They introduced concession related tickets a few months ago meaning after 3/6/10&15 years of service you get certain tickets with flydubai.
