And PCR tests... well that is at least from my country. Now that if we screw up on either day, all those money might be gone for Dubais lil excursion so thats not a "bit" in my book :/ For those trying, wishing you a very good luck.

Hey guys,
Does anyone received any invitations on Friday or during the weekend?

My video interview was last Tuesday 12th, and no news since then.

Good luck to everyone!
Cheers

Yep, That was 6 years ago. And hence this wisdom. Does that disqualify me from warning people?

After I finished the online interview (9/10) I got a email from FZ (14/10) inviting me for the SIM day one in Dubai and second day on FZ campus, they gave me 6 different dates in November to choose from. In the email it was clearly written that they expect the candidate to pay for travel arrangements to DXB (Tickets, Visa and Hotel). Im a FO with 2500h on type.

Will share my experience in this thread, good luck for everyone.

I'm sure any advice/warnings from those in the know would be gratefully received by most looking at a move to the Gulf. So prefixing your comments with something along the lines of "As I found out myself" rather than using the condescending tone you do would likely come across more agreeably.

Times are tough so many will look at options they otherwise wouldn't have before covid, offer hard won wisdom but don't patronise them for it. All the best for the future.

Agreed. Not just my experience but several others from many carriers here EK/SV/QR/FZ/WY/KU. My point is UK/Europe and US/CAN has more options now, don't come here leaving those jobs. Some of us are stuck deep in this quick sand. If one has no job then blind rule is "take whatever you get first " applies. Many of my friends have left command(several 1000s of 320/737 pic) and got stuck as widebody FO for years.

Yes from January flydubai will hire 12 pilots, 24 cabin crew and have 8 internal upgrade course per month. It looks like huge expansion. All of this while they were unable to pay salaries and meet current contract expensive of crew. I believe there are on going legal proceedings about this.

I think they gonna call people depending on few factors
- Currently flying ?
- Currently flying 737?
- Experience level?

I think for them this 3 factors are quite important ....

Not saying they not gonna call others, just be patient, after I put here I was called I got millions of PMs asking for details about how long did it take to get call. Every profile is different, just be patient, your time will come)

I think they closed new applications on day 5, so should be at 4500.

To those that have been contacted for next steps:

What does your HireVue status show as (when you click the link in the video interview submitted email)? Does it say flydubai have received your completed interview or is there a different message?

I was wondering do you guys apply if your licences are expired? Do the hr team consider at least arranging a meeting with a pilot who has an expired licence or do they don't even bother themselves ?

No, everything is 100% sponsored

just get over the fact that you will have to show some commitment if you truly interested in the opportunity you will happily invest that money on yourself and your career

To the best of my knowledge FLYDUBAI does not call any candidates and deals with ALL applicants only via email. I know this very reliably from a lot of my colleagues Thru the years in the company.
Whether they have changed that procedure recently is anybody’s guess. However it’s never happened before.
So I think we should all very possibly expect something via email depending on the date of submission of your video interview, as to your next steps.
Cheers all.

PS-And I hear the order is going to be FO TR, CAPT TR, FO NTR AND CAPT NTR.
This is what I heard. What actually happens is anybody’s guess.
