It would be a stretch but the Max has a still air distance that would technically make Jakarta possible, just. Again still air and lots of other variables that need to be taken into account too. I can certainly see BKK as the prime option, as rumored a lot. Planning wise they say decisions on destinations are not discussed with EK but I don't buy that. Workers and migrant routes are typically high density but low yielding routes. I'm gussing more European routes would yield a higher yield and be less streneous on the operation and capabilities of the 737. Connecting Europe to Asia would make sense as does Africa to China. But is the 737 the right plane for that job and does that fit into the companies operational structure?

EK and FZ are diferente outfits. EK is a legacy airline offering worldwide connections through its hub at DXB. FZ is a discount airline focused essentialy on a point to point operation. FZ hurt to EK would be minimal while, hopefully, the low fares of FZ will stimulate even more the market. Thatīs the way I see it.

It is not the way YOU see it , that is what the business model is based on.
It is supposed to bring more people to Dubaï whose would not have traveled with EK.
If you look at the history of the destination , you will see that FZ has been flying to a lot of EK destinations , Beirut and Damascus were the 2 first one...

I was just giving my point of view to the query of simba82. I donīt see it as a "real" competition.
Also they will be competing with EK on those routes will that even be allowed?

Fly Dubai Recruitment process
I am a First Officer with a united express carrier in the US. I applied to Fly Dubai and have been invited tot he assessment in Miami next month. I took the online assessment and video interview as well. Long story short, I am confused about a few things. Regarding the documentation required to bring to Miami, it says you must bring a copy of your last 3 pages of logbook stamped or signed by your employer or certifying authority(FAA). Also a copy of your last PC. If any FAA licensed pilots who went through this process, can elaborate what documents did they take as getting a stamped logbook or signed by my employer is unusual in the US. Also, I am using the latestpilotjobs interview prep and practicing the online games and would like to know if all of the exercises on there will be the same as the CTC or only a few of them will be given to the candidates. Thank you.

Call your training department, they have the paper that lists your last PC with all the "Acceptable" or "Pass" markers. Its a standard document that all airlines have, you just dont see it, we just do our PC and head home, they generate that document automatically.
Print your last 3 pages of your logbook. Start with your Chief pilot, ask him if he can sign them, if not then ask your base manager, if not keep going up the ladder until somebody does.
Not sure if they asked for it or not, but go ahead and call your local FSDO office and get the letter that says you're clean of incidents/accidents, you'll need it.
Hope this helps.

When I came to my interview in the ME, not Fly Dubai, I just had my logbook notarized at my bank in Florida. All good.
I think they just want to see the stamp. Like I said I don't work for Fly Dubai. Might not be the case in the UAE.
Good luck.

Heard from a couple of friends living in Dubai (not related with aviation) that Flydubai is about to give a pay rise to pilots. The aim is to stop them from leaving (or at least try)...

Fly4Fun , I have no idea where your information is coming from BUT Nothing has been announced yet...
On top of that , even if it is true , it will have to be a significant one and an increase of the basic salary and not a ridiculous 10 Dhs increase on the sector pay as they have done before.
The situation since the crash of the FZ981 has deteriorated a lot and many pilots and cabin crew are looking towards new horizons...

Guys...
Can anyone inform for how long the most senior FO is in the company ?
I just would like to know what's the average time for an experienced FO upgrade at flydubai.
Cheers...
Tks !

The most senior FO is here for 6 years , it is not enough to be within the criteria for upgrade you also have to pass it.
We have had some failure and this number may increase with the consequence of the crash of the FZ981...

I am amazed that anyone would want to go there.

Think long and hard about this...things are not always what they appear to be...dont let airplane size be any factor in your decision...
Odd comment. I would have thought that it was obvious.

dubaigong, as I said this is second hand information from a friend of mine not related with aviation, so most probably not that accurate. Maybe it is just street talk.

I've not seen a single digit drop in loadfactors since the event. It's just very tight on crew at the moment.
