Incredible. I never thought i would read a post where someone would say that FZ has gone downhill since JV and KG left. Two of the biggest i ever met.

what-to-do

Well look at it this way what to do, it has got that bad.

They are currently hiring new people and forcing the current work force on unpaid leave. How is this legally possible? I knew the sandpit was bad with employment rights but I thought there were some. Reminds me why I will never go back to the Middle East.

Do not worry about the reply. Probably fatigued from the new current rosters of all night flights.

Can anyone give me an insight into life at FlyDubai? Is there any night stops, how many hours per month etc? I've seen a few salaries floating around online so im assuming that's the still the ball park figure. TR FO 2000 hours on the 737, fed up of my current job in Europe. I've the online tests to do over the coming days but trying to gauge what its like.

Me too, NTR. Immediately accepted.
I've already done the online test (resembles the EasyJet one). Now there's the so called "interview" alone, where I have to video record my answers to 5-6 questions.

It's easy, only the multi-tasking calculations (only subtractions and additions, easy) steal some precious time during the exercise.

if
By all means guys apply and do the assessment etc. I would not advise taking this job. There will be a lot better jobs on offer soon. You will be in a holding pool for a long time. If you think 8 days off a month flying around with mixed days and nights (fatiguing) this is the job for you. 737 rated? Guess what,they will bond you again for 3 years. Annual leave? You will not see a summer of Christmas for at least 10 years. You will probably be assigned leave by the company as none you bid for will be rewarded. All that will dressed like a taxi driver/ zoo keeper in bowling shoe. It will be well worth you time to ask current pilots about the current pay situation too.

Gentlemen.
Applied for the Captain position NTR.
Got an email to complete some online assessments within 5 days. It’s getting me anxious. Anyone who has gone thru these assessments, please kindly assist with what to expect on this initial online assessment(s). Would be highly appreciated indeed. Need this job fairly desperately.
Many thanks in advance guys …

What to do, you are spot on with your amusing and accurate quip ref the management of fz, The only worse management incumbent was DR who was a Walter Mitty par extraordinaire and generally created chaos contributing to the Swiss cheese resulting in a hull loss. Caveat emptor is the advice.

Additional. Once you complete the test, you receive an email for the video "interview".

Sure, but I've been unemployed for 18 consecutive months, with debts growing by day. 3 years bond? PERFECT! Low salary? For someone who earned 0 in the last 18 months, I'll take it and I will even thank them.

Olster,
Whilst DR might come a close 2nd, memory has it that the 'Walter Mitty par extraordinaire' was none other than the living legend in his own lunchtime, the 'black ops' aficionado, the author of the 'Duck & Dive' procedure, FZ's very own 'Spaceman' !
