Paokara. You are absolutely right. But unfortunately after all you read this:
" Hello! does anyone have any idea about what kind of questions are presented during CTC interview for flydubai? Thanks!"
The meaning is fly for food!

Hello everybody,
First of all , I don't see the point to insult Flydubai or any other company when they require us to pay some money to go for an interview...
We are in a free world and nobody will never force you to go for it BUT the real problem I see and have seen for far too long is PILOTS ready to pay.
So if you want to insult somebody , you should target your fellow pilots accepting to do so...
Why should a company stop to do so if pilots are sending their CV and are going to the interview ?
This problem has been raised years ago by the pilot's union in my company where every training was paid by the company and nobody had never paid for a type rating...
Look what is happening in Europe for example with Ryanair , they have done it for more than 15 years and every pilot joining has to pay for his recurrent training in the simulator every 6 months , what about the command upgrade ( the trainee has to pay for his food and accommodation during the training and will be paid 90% of a full captain salary for the first 6 months on line ... etc... )
Is Ryanair short of pilots ?
So before complaining let's try to educate our fellow pilots and then the company will not find anybody accepting their conditions and then the problem will be sorted out...

First of all...come down please. Is this a forum to complain or the aim is to help people to find useful info. Please keep your comments and try to answer questions...not attacking people. Everyone has his own reasons and can decide what to do...and one more time...come down. Are you Pilots or what??? when do you have to land the ac with extreme winds do you fly or you start yelling against God who is giving you strong crosswinds???

What happened to your friend with 3K NG hours after going thru four interviews in four different countries in two weeks? Is he contemplating to join any of the companies or the companies are contemplating to take him
? Your answer is an indication of pilots supply and demand.

I just want to make a point here:
My services are not for free. If an airline want me to be their pilot and represent the airline as soon as I walk out of my house and way before I turn a switch........then my time is going to be paid.
you are right, pilots should not pay a dollar for all the above you mentioned.
I NEVER DID AND NEVER WILL

Delusional Walter Mitty character now blatantly masquerading as a flydubai Captain
Dear F/O colleagues, forget about studying all those boring manuals, or attending a tough command upgrade interview, or partaking in rigorous command upgrade simulator sessions, or any of those rocket polishing hoops that you’re expected to jump through in order to get a Command at flydubai.
If you want a Command at flydubai it’s now much simpler than you could ever believe. All you have to do is to become the ‘Safety Manager’ !!
Then, without even so much as an interview, or a current medical, or a simulator assessment, or a Type-Rating on B737-800, or thousands of hours on type, or attending recurrent training courses, etc, YOU TOO will be able to don the full regalia of a flydubai Captain, complete with shiny gold wings and 4 stripes upon your shoulders!
But wait, there’s even more!
Your newly found pseudo-rank will give you all the power that your Walter Mitty persona demands. You will think it ok to turn up, uninvited, aboard the company’s flights, invite yourself into the flight deck and sit on a jump seat for hours upon end, from where you can then make a complete ass of yourself and further dispel all myths that your are a professional Airman in any other sense than your surname.
Yes sir’ee, by simply going to the Uniform Stores Department and procuring a flydubai Captains uniform you too can masquerade and swan about as a flydubai Captain!!
STOP PRESS!!! Due to unprecedented demand, the Uniform Stores Department, are no longer accepting walk-in fittings and so you’ll need to phone ahead to arrange an appointment for the fitting of your shiny new flydubai Captains uniform. But do get your order in soon, before every Tom, Dick, and Harry catches on to the idea that to become a professional Captain requires nothing more than putting on the uniform!!!
In all seriousness folks, apart from the blatant insult that this serves towards our Captains, who have worked long & hard to earn their position, and likewise the insult towards our F/O’s who are presently tearing their hair out trying to move from the right seat to the left seat, surely there must be a law against this sort of outrageous impersonation and impropriety against our professional standards & integrity?!

Thought it was just a rumour, this cant be legal ??

LOL -
Bob,
After almost Pi$$ing myself laughing, I still cant decide if this latest move is outrageous, outrageously funny
.... or both !
Its even funnier than when he was seen parading around in a bullet proof vest airside in Kabul !
Either way, for the reasons you highlight, its unacceptable.
He really should stick to 'counting' brake applications.....

Surely it's a bit more involved than just putting on the uniform (hereafter referred to as costume). Don't you have to attend the same church every Sunday as Trailer Trash, Magoo and Bilko? I am surprised that the uniform stores hold costume stock in such "Wee" sizes.

That's maybe because nobody knows...
It's new so , who knows ? except CTC and the top management of the company which will not come on this site to answer you.
You have to be patient enough to wait until the first guy went through and then maybe there will be somebody able to answer you...

Thanks for the info, I had understood. However, it is hard to find the information you seek in a forum where some people they are just attacking each other ....
Ok, lest's wait for the first one walking the CTC doors... :-)
