Thanks guys...how do you feel the roster pattern is evolving (im hearing more and more crew are heading out the door, and new 737 incoming this year)? Is minimum rest time still an issue with respect to the turn from nights to days and vice versa?
Only asking because lots of negative comments regarding pilot fatigue and FZ...i know FZ is not the only ME airline to be accused of such but ever since FZ 981 they've been in the spotlight...

Yesterday I was deadheading with a guy that applied via sigma aviation services as non rated DEC and they told him that Flydubai put on hold the recruitment for the next couple of months. So it must be true. Although it seems they are accepting applications via their careers section and CTC aviation.

Careers section has no more job vacancies at this time for pilots. They aren't taking in any resumes.
However, I did receive an email last night saying that I had made it to "the next stage of the recruitment process".
I'm assuming they're trying to fill up their pool and should start up ground schools again soon?
Ps. Anyone do the video interview lately and have any tips?

Also the expansion is almost flat this year and they simpley don't have the training capacity.

Hi guys,
I read the last couple pages of this thread to find info about FlyDubai.
Apparently, the Health Insurance the company provides, is like in the US with a copay and everything?
What happen if my wife get pregnant, are we gonna have to pay the hospital? Is it expensive?
If we have both a FAA and EASA licence, can we chose on what certificate we want the Type rating?

Regarding the type rating, as Flydubai is a UAE operater flying A6- registered aircraft, you would be issued with a UAE ATPL, endorsed with a B737 300-900 rating.
If you wanted the rating on your EASA licence as well you would need to find a friendly EASA TRE to give you a skills test and have it added on. I'd assume the process for an FAA licence is similar.

67% drop in profits & unpaid leave,...... outlook is awesome, especially when you consider fuel prices being pretty low too
There's an old saying about chickens coming home to roost..... you simply cant have an airline run by such incompetent management and expect an airline/business to flourish in such a cut-throat environment.
It has amazed me how FZ has EVER turned a profit.

On the other hand the numbers don't match to keep the operation running as is. And with 4 new destinations it's all getting a bit tight on crew. People are still leaving...

Please keep me updated on the ground school situation,
I'm still in the process of waiting for my video interview to be reviewed and for them to contact me back.
Pointless to go for an interview in the UK (from NA) if they're not going to have any GS this year...
