To all those, who have not yet heard replies.

Just a heads up that the possible reason may be that the current head of recruitment has resigned, quit or suitable alternative!

Therefore the position is being temporarily filled, and it is a very small department considering the rate of expansion. 2/3 people managing 1800 staff.

The company is running at the bare minimum of pilots IMHO. So there is and still will be a requirement for pilots now and in the future.

Just yesterday I was having an informal chat with a colleague who confirmed that 6 more 737NG's are coming asap and the remainder of the order to take the fleet to 50 will be honoured by the end of the year. Currently the fleet stands at 26/28 not sure of specifics.

Also I am pretty sure there is going to be a review of the recruitment procedure and the use of CTC, as again IMHO they have not delivered the best results.

All I would say to those who have applied is, keep updating your details, for those that are rated, keep current. Those Non Rated, dont lose hope the company will continue to recruit Non TR, as they have been very pleased with the standard of those new to type, hired from Aer Arran, flybe and Air Southwest.

I am not in a management position or based in FZ head office, Im just a humble servant who "monitors the situation" from the inside.

6 more airplanes with Emirates gazillion more...and we are headed for a one year operation with single runway as they resurface the other. Hmmm....how is that going to work??

I'll go to CTC soon as well, as a non type-rated FO.
In the middle of gathering as much info as possible to prepare for the CTC assessment.
Cheers to you all!!

Max --- not all you say checks out ... Airline operates on the minimum crew required as per our ops .. You know you work for a LCC don't you ?

All the others that haven't heard I suggest that you email CTC and inquire , I hear that there is a lot of activity going on at the moment ... You wouldn't want to miss out ? Hiring both TR n NTR

Hi guys.
CTC- the post by rkramer787 on page 75 is pretty close to the mark(90%) in my case.all pretty much as said happened.
The intvw in Dxb was straight forward and followed similar lines to intvw at CTC-one pilot and one hr guy-both lovely chaps and straight talking.Medical in Shj was fun-NOT-just hassle.heard from them pretty quick afterwards and am embroiled now.
t and c's are pretty much as in previous posts-certainly not the worst out there and COULD always be improved on.

any other direct q's then pse pm me and will try to help.biggest thing be yourself as nvr had clue at any stage what they were looking for or how assessment was progressing.the FD team have experience of intvw and will suss u out if not being straight.

good luck.

Just a few questions, perhaps more suited to those who have just gone through selection/been employed or for those just about to go through selection at CTC

1- does anyone know how often assessments happen at CTC/Dubai for FZ?
2- how long from application did it take for CTC to get back to you for an assessment?

(I am fully aware some haven't heard anything for a long time)

3- For those with assessments coming up- what is your experience levels?
4- Were you employed/current at the time?

Just trying to gauge a general timeframe of events, although I am under no illusion that everyone's experience is the same as I know everyone's circumstances are different!

Thanks in advance,

Flyer.

Hi guys,

anybody knows how long does it take to have the first response about the screening process?

Tanks guys!

Anybody have any pointers on 're-applying' - I threw my info on the app website before I had the 3000/1000 for a non typed pilot, it subsequently did not make the cut.

I now have more that the required mins and live, work and fly in the UAE - but can't see how to 'reapply'. My application just appears to be a:
"...previous and now in-active application"

Any tips? Or do I have to start an entirely new application?

Any FD pilots in Abu Dhabi want a few free beers? All it will cost is information. PM me and let me know!

Thanks

Could anyone give a quick statement of the FZ philosophy of hand flying the aircraft? Many thanx in advance

P2Prep, P2Interview, P2Fly.... where does it end?

RandyBMC

From our supplementary SOPs (1.6.1):

When traffic and workload are light, hand flying is encouraged to maintain proficient flying skills.

I hand fly often on climb-out and descent. It is all dependent on the situation.

Hope that helps,

Hello there.

My application has been approved some while ago for the assessment at CTC. Does anyone have any info on how many are hired vs the ones that start the CTC assessment? I am non- type rated with 4000 hours Fokker 50 turboprop co-pilot time.

Are Flydubai only recruiting via CTC or by other means as well?

Regards

Randy, Thank you very much!

That helps a lot. I consider to apply to FZ. However, I would never work for an Airline that prohibits hand flying. Thanx a lot!
