Is FZ planning to modify hiring minimums as EK did, or they get enough low experience F/O's from their CAE program?

If applying for Non Typed F/O, does FZ takes pilots that come from a corporate aviation background?

Thanks!

You just need 2500TT and full ATPL. They don't care about your background.

Who said you just need 2500 hours? Is this wishful thinking? ( that is probably the case also for EK threads that some people tend to think that the recruiters are crying to find pilots). In my opinion they are not that desperate as many people would like to think.
Just for your information I have more than 4500 total time, more than 2000 on 737. I applied 2 times in last 2 years, I did not get a single reply.

Thanks Transport Jock, you gave me a good tip. I will try calling them and see what happens. By the way do you think I have more chances if I apply directly or through their agency? ( and if through agency which one? i heard they use 2 or 3 agencies).

Hi, Ldggrup. I just did the video interview. I'm going to attend the assessment in IST. I asked someone about it. He didn't give me further information just told me to be cooperative with others and don't be too competitive. Everyone qualified would be recruited. How do you prepare for it?

Vulka

Thank you Camel

Ldggrup

I was just doing from latestpilot jobs.. But it doesn't day it is for CTC or IST.. I had no idea that we had to do online assessment.. I was surprised so just wondering what else to come..
When are you going to IST??


From what I heard the sim is like any OPC.. They make u do everything from abnormal engine start to evacuaction.. Airport being used is MCT OOMS MUSCAT.

First Take off would be without FD and have to intercept a radial outbound.. Airworks.. Come back to MCT.. Do visual landing.. Takeoff N-1 and then ils aprch, go around , vor apprch land evacuation...

Camel737

The sim I've heard is as same as you said.
Nothing else before going to IST.
I will be there on 22. Then spend a few days for sightseeing.
C u in IST

Any news from IST ? sim was difficult ? how many were U?

Ldggrup

Hi guys.. Just came from IST so just writing my experience..

Before you go for assessment you need to do online assessment.. They dont give you pass or fail for that. In the mean while you should get simulator package which has the sim profile, approach charts, checklist.. Make sure you print them and take it with you on simulator day.

I was given WOW hotel. Its a 4 star hotel very close to IST airport.. Free shuttle from airport to hotel in every half hour or 10 lira by taxi.. 10 Lira ~ 3 USD.

Next day pick up was at 0830 and took is to simulator place just 2 mins away.

You start with introducing yourself to fly dubai and meccti.. We were 5 in total.. After that we were told to go wait outside.. They called us in again after 5 mins for group excercise..
1 excercise was that you are a group of board of directors of fly dubai what will you all do to plan the growth as 1 aircraft per month is joining the fleet.

2. You are on boat what will you take with u to survive.

There was another one something similar.

Then they send you out again and call you after 10 mins.. From our group only 3 go for the next round..

Next round is interview.. Asking about yourself, stories from your flying experience.. Like when did u fly with a capt who was not nice and what did u do about it.. A time when u had disagreement in cockpit.. Things like this and it continues for approx 45 mins.. Very relaxed.. You can ask questions.. Interview is done by 1 capt and 1 HR person.

When everyone was done with the interview and results were declared.. Out of 3 now its only 2 of us for the next day.. They checked and took photocopies of all our documents.

Day 2. Simulator was scheduled from 1200-1600 but as were only 2 so we started a bit late.. Around 1300.. Sim was exactly as given in the package and is all raw data.. Non precision they want you to use vor/loc v/s instead of lnav
Vnav..

They said if we pass we would be in holding pool and joining will be after April 2016.

I hope this helps..

Vulka

Thanks Ld


So,again that idiot exercises...u are lost i a Island!etc etc


Do u have any idea why the other guys fail?
Any advice?
Thanks

Ldggrup

Hi mate,

The 2 guys failed in group discussion because (i think the reason) one of them never agreed with what we all were saying and kept on saying this is the same excercise we do in our company crm so i know these things are top on list blah blah.. Very irritating guy.. The other guy was due to unable to speak english..

In my suggestion just be normal.. Dont speak too much or just dont be too quite.. Dont try to impose your decision.. Its all about team work.. They need pilots so if you all perform good, all get hired..

Vulka

thanks Ld Good luck...

I 2nd what ldggrup said. However if you have terrible People skills or poor English, there's probably not that much you can do now to prep for interview. Most difficult individuals probably aren't aware of it.

On another note I'm curious what are FZs overnights. I know of khatmandu, dar Es Salem, Prague, and Budapest. How are hotels at the various locals?
