A significant number of FZ's pilots use the following combination (and pay for it themselves, there being no contribution from FZ):

Bose QC15 + UFlyMike 2 Plug Cord Set = $552 USD

Vortac1, thank you very much for your response, appreciated! You´re right, I´m in the initial phase. I,ve just passed the first screening in Dibden, information given on pprune was very useful and accurate. Now I´ve to go to Dubai to the last interview, do you know guys how will be the interview or what kind of questions can I expect?

Thanks a lot!

Congrats on passing your initial screening!

Expect the same questions you had on your one on one interview of your first assessment. Mostly TAAT type of stuff.

Also, make an extra effort to have all your paperwork ready for them when you show up to Dubai. Go over it a bunch of times before you leave your home country!

Any word on when you're headed to Dubai?

As far as headphones go, I have the Telex 450 with the 2 plug set up, would these work on FD 73's?

If it has the normal two plugs, it should work fine. The Boeing is not a quiet airplane though!

Yeah, I've been using my Telex for 5 years already (I actually have the 750 model, not the 450, my bad...) , I've been using earplugs with them to keep the noise down.

Guess its time to look into those 850 ANR...

Headset

From the US, you will need at least an 850 or some kind of noise cancelling headset. If not, you will find yourself saying...huh, what did he say...all of the time. The accents can be h$ll.

The 850ANR is a waste of money in this plane. I tired using the 850 for the first year and finally bought the Uflymike/QC15 setup. Going Bose was a good decision. A few guys use the Bose Aviator headset, but for the price the QC15s are just fine and you can use them when traveling.

Anyone have any information as to how you can re-apply?

I keep getting the message that I have already applied and that was over two years ago. Now the system keeps sending me back to that application.

I remember someone asking it before in this thread but can't seem to find the info.

Its simple. Just create a brand new application using another email address and another phone number (use your spouse's number for example). Good luck.

Re-Applying

Only way to reapply is to alter the spelling of your name slightly or use a middle name instead of last. You won't be stuck with it I imagine, it's only an online application so you can correct it later. New email and phone number as well. System seems to reject applications that are too similar to existing ones automatically. Good Luck.

EFBs

Actually have been using EFBs (Panasonic toughbooks) but without the electronic charting. Mainly for OPT and manuals. iPads in testing with charting and the works as High Energy said.

Great news. Any idea how it will operate? Which vendors will do the charts? Company paid ipads for each pilot? Or each airplane? Or pilots are responsible for their own? Any idea on time frame?

Seb, whilst your enthusiasm is no doubt laudable (in certain circles), to be quite honest - the fact that with just 7 days to go, i.e. to the end of August, and yet with the roster for September still not published (in a supposedly 'Scheduled Service' airline?!), imho, one should be far more concerned at these sort of aspects than with niff-naff such as which EFB, tablet, chart providers, are in use, etc?!

Given that it's now +4 years since start of flight operations within FZ, the fact that the roster is STILL published only days prior to it becoming active is a incompetent f'ing disgrace!
