EK, QA, EY
Hey guys!
Can someone confirm the rumour about agreement between FZ and EK, QA, EY regarding poaching? I heard 3 years with EK and what about others?
As for me, 3 years is ok but if it is permanent for other airlines, it's a concern
Regards

After 3 years you can join EK. Whether or not that is a smart choice is a different matter... You can not join the other ME airlines, full stop. People tried the others and got through to be later told 'go back to flydubai.'
But nothing is forever in the ME. When they need you everything is possible. They'll bend the rules to suit them. So timing and luck is everything.

Thanks HE!
few more questions
1) I've got 3 kids. Is it somehow real to find a school/kindergarten which will be completely covered by allowance with no need to pay extra?
2) How do you get the car at the beginning? Rent or buy? I know EK gives smth around 17K at 0%.
3) Is there any bail if i am type rated?
Regards

Navigator,
I'm joining in November.
I'll answer number 2.
In the beginning you can get around or by taxi or rent a car. Rental is about 1500dhs. Once you pass the linecheck, you can buy a car. Get a loan with the bank. But they will only give you 80%, the other 20% you need to have.
This is what I've been told.
Cheers!!

You should advise the catch that the bank loans come with - if you don't make it through training or for that matter at any time cannot pay off the loan in CASH ( the asset cannot be used as collateral) , you will be prevented from leaving the country until such time the loan is settled ! Possible jail .
So take a big loan and
1) flunk out - jail ( whether in the country or actual prison),
2) resign - jail,
3 ) get fired - jail,
if the loan is not settled .

I would strongly recommend not getting into loans until your probation period is over, 6 months after released to the line.
Wait until your first SIM check at the 6 month mark, then go get your ride.

Vortac1 is absolutly right. In case something goes wrong you might find yourself in a situation that you're not able to leave the UAE.

uniform?
Are uniforms supplied in training? My short sleeve shirts are a little worn and I'm trying to decide if I should buy some before heading to training. Also what color are pants, socks, and shoes? I'm assuming black.

Hi Florens
When I did mine in Southampton I used the latest pilot job.com, you have to pay a bit but I found excellent and it really helped me a lot, itīs quite good, actually itīs harder than the real one so it will prepare you very good, also all the stages are in there, not only that, personal interview also.
I did mine in June then in July I went to Dubai now waiting to join, I guess starting of 2016 because a few days ago I got an email asking my earliest available date.

I used inverted because I found it easy, I try both and finally I decide that, but the real point is practising and seeing how does it work, a couple of guys that went to SOU without preparing they really suffered when it started with number and forms and all of that mixed.
For me it was worthy the few bucks I paid for it.

I'm still in the pool, but that's because I told them a March/April start would work best for me. (Kids can finish the school year in Canada before moving.) I did the final interview in July this year.

What to do and Late Tonight, yea I'm serious. Thankfully someone emailed me some answers, but is this not a forum to ask questions about FlyDubai for new hires and potential employees? I'm starting soon and am trying to sort out what I should pack.
At my current job in the US, I had to buy all my uniform up front, and then if I needed additional stuff it was reimbursed. I've been told that at FlyDubai the uniform is given to the employees. Maybe that is how it works outside of the US.
I searched this whole thread, and couldn't find any info saying the pants are Navy Blue. This information is useful to me because now I won't pack my black work slacks. Considering we only get to bring what can fit in checked bags, and 3500 AED worth of shipping expense, it's important to me to decide what to pack.
A lot of people getting hired have never been on FZ nor have they seen a FZ crew. Hence asking questions that may sound dumb.
