Hy Bluesky,
I totally understand your position and you are correct on a stable job.
But let me just tell you that you have all your chance with Etihad as they are recruiting Boeing Jockey for the 777, next selection will be in June, look on the website you should be able to find all the infos.
For Qatar it's the same story, they are so desperate...
As for Privatair, keep tune I know that there is a new course starting mid Feb they have difficulties to man the courses as it's really on short notice...So they might need peoples on last minutes like they did for the Jan course.
Good luck and happy landings

I don't think there is any link between the two...
You have companies not charging for the selection process BUT where you will be bonded and companies where you have to pay for the selection process BUT where there is no bond...AND the one where you get both...
The main purpose of the bond is just to try to make sure that the pilots joining will , at least , stay for 3 years AND it seems to work.
When pilots will be ready to leave despite the fact that they have to pay a bond then the bonding will dissapear but as long as it is working and as long as we accept to sign it why should they stop doing it ?

what I REALLY don't get is how can a company who charges you for their selection process, BONDS you for 3 years
Would be interesting to know if the guys and girls attending selections in USA, NZ, China, Brazil and Singapore are having to pay any cash for the privalige.
Having said that if anyone has any detailed info on the selection process with CTC I would be very grateful to hear from you!!
Cheers

hey man .. i have the interview mid Feb .. i have been looking through the threads but with no luck .. ive seen one post from on guy who has attended the selection and it was this
The first day was group exercise,pilapt(pilot aptitude) and interview.we were 8 and separated in to two groups.one group does the group exercise and the other pilapt.The group exercise consists of two tasks.As it was the first time,HR people came from flydubai to watch the process.The plapt does not consist ATPL and maths test as in compass test.It only consists aptitude tests,six of them.You will be given 3 trials and you are required to show improvement from your previous score.After lunch,which is free,6 of us passed for the interview.The interview is evidence based as you have seen in the application.Why do you want to join FD,what will you bring to FD,what is your leadership style.etc.
After the interview,only three guys passed to the next days sim assessment.I was one of the guys who didn't make it to the sim.You spend a lot of money for the entire process.I think it is not fair for FD management to do this.
I wish good luck to all of you who are going to attend one of the assessments.
Well if you find anything better keep me posted
thnks

Dear Iranair,
That's most of the time the case on this site...
Despite the fact that there is nothing I can do for you about the CTC selection tests , I can at least tell you that it is worth joining Flydubai
You can compare with all the low cost carriers around ( in Europe at least ) and you will see that Flydubai is a nice company.
You will fly brand new B737-800 equipped with head up display , accars , the last Boeing sky interior , the brand new passenger entertainment system and soon the satcom system.
Of course , you will not be home and then need to be able to adapt to multi-cultural environment and that's where the problems start for quite a lot of foreigners joining.
If it is not done the way they were used to , it is not good and they start to complain...
Don't pay too much attention to the negative comments , keep your positive attitude and I wish you the best for the CTC selection...

The selection process in a shame, no matter how long you have been preparing the assessment or how good you did the sim check and the rest of the exams. At the end they do what they want and they donīt let you know what were your mistakes.
Their criterias for selection is unkown , maybe they didnīt like your face.
