if I had found the missed call I would have called back for sure, but that day I had been flown all the day and when I switched on my phone I didn t see any message, I discovered only checking my mail that they tried to call me..anyway...today I got the answer via e-mail. They told me sorry for the delay but they had a lack of staff due to the Christams holydays and they will call me during the next days...we will see.... actually it is true, it is a pity to pay for an interview.... but at the moment i think that FD is the only Company offering something of decent....

Pilot joking...
A flyDubai flight was grounded at Amman international airport following a bomb threat from a passenger.
Passengers were evacuated after a man, who reportedly works as a co-pilot in the UAE, asked to see the pilot.
When he was refused he claimed ha had a bomb and threatened to blow up the plane.
Police were alerted and managed to evacuate the passengers before beginning a search of the plane, but no explosives were found.
The passenger who made the bomb threat is a co-pilot who works in the United Arab Emirates, a security official said.
"He said he was just making a joke. He was arrested, and an investigation is now under way," he added.

I know FlyDubai (or should I say CTC) are conducting interviews at various locations in Feb/Mar of this year. They also have Dubai as a location they'll be interviewing in. Does anyone know if CTC will be conducting the interview, or with FlyDubai be doing the Dubai based interviews the way they have been doing in the past (before the whole CTC rubbish got involved).

This I don t know....I was contacted yesterday via e-mail...They said there is anymore the phone interview and I can choose the date from the website( only in UK) but also They said that it is possible to do the interview in Dubai ( commencing from February the 7th) or New Zeland ( to be confirmed)...
I asked if it s possible to attend at the Dubai selection Process...so waiting for an answer.
I think that it could be good coz maybe You do everything in the same day, final interview included ( i m so optimistic
)) )

Black economy
I have to agree with Australian guy, this is nothing more than a con. £150 for an interview, so where do you draw the line?
CTC can invite as many as they want for an interview and take no one if they so wish. It's nothing more than a black economy.
I've never had much time for CTC, they are just a bunch sharks with an over inflated opinion of themselves.
FlyDubai should do themselves a favor and kick them into touch!

They learned this trick from Ryanair who first started this con some years back. Although, I believe FR directed it towards the 250hr zero to hero wannabe's... Seems FlyDubai have taken it a step further.
You can complain about it all you want, there will be no shortage of takers, the hiring machine will grind on with or without your contribution am afraid.

One of the early complaints from the guys in FlyDubai during the early days of the operation was the lack of flying hours.
What kind of hours are you guys generally doing a month these days? The package as advertised is based around doing 80 hours a month - is this realsitic at present?
Cheers for the info

Captains are doing around 80 hrs afaik, F/o's are a bit lower (60ish) due to a load of new recruits rushed through for the 4 new aircraft that arrived in Nov/Dec. Apparently Feb will be the first month where both Captains and F/O's both average more than 80. More routes and longer routes added every month.

Does anybody here know what aptitude testing system CTC is using for the FlyDubai interviews? Is it the same testing as in the 'original' FlyDubai interviews (pre-CTC), or do CTC now use their own one? I know before EPST was the vendor, but now I'm not sure. Anybody have any ideas?

guys don t be stressed about the tests!!! are simple games...try to relax and everything will go well....I asked for the Dubai inteview too....I think the only advantage could be that if You pass the CTC probably you will remain there continuing with the other part of the interview with FlyDubai.... cross the fingers...waiting to know the date!!!

Blusky you are kidding me mate, don't tell me that you are really thinking to go there??? So you plan to pay 153 pounds for the crooks, plus your ticket to go there, plus your hotac?
Please Blusky if you are so desperate to fly out of Dubai, do you a favor and apply to Emirates or even Etihad or the goat Airways. And if you don't mind to stay in Europe try Privatair.
Anyway Good luck;-)

I have a jpb..I applied to Private Air but no answer... I fly the Boeing so Ethiad is out for me...for Emirates don t have enough flight experience.... I know it could be a waste of money..but if this is the only way to get in Flydubai...I wanna "invest" these money ( I lost money in more stupid things)...I know, all is a **** but I m very bored to work with a 6 months contract and think every 6 months that I have to find another job...probably I will spend this money and even I ll not pass the interview..but if there is at least 1 % of chance to get a stable job in a very good Company..I feel that I wanna try...
