Tony, would you not do better by writing to them direct ? These sort of issues change according to wind direction & GF is no different to all the rest. You night also experience being selected under one set of conditions but being offered a completely different contract before joining. To use modern parlance, it is what it is .

Maybe I wasn´t clear on my post, my question is if being current on the A320 although with no recent experience on type, is enough to apply as DEC? I have PIC time on the A320 but my last flight was almost 8 years ago.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Crikey chaps ! Isn't "Current on type " meaning you are, er, current on type ? You know, "currently" flying the type. Tony, if you were type rated & current 8 years ago, sadly, you are not current on type. Some operators declare "Must be current on type", that does, clearly mean that you are currently flying the type. A "Type Rating" can be on your licence years after you ceased flying that type. It would require a Comp ex to validate that rating to "valid type rating". So, you can wind up with a valid type rating but not current on that type. Crumbs, glad I stayed clear of admin jobs offered to me in the past ! I am currently type rated and "recent" on my Lidle's inflatable with five years home pool experience................awaiting the adverts in the back of Flight Mag !

A few days ago I met a guy, at the simulator centre, that is expecting to join Flydubai soon. He said that he has also applied to Gulf Air but picked Flydubai instead even tough is going as non rated. I wonder if Flydubai has improved that much or is Gulf Air that is quite behind the other players regarding conditions.

I don't think flydubai has improved that much regarding term/conditions. A lot of work needs to be done there to bring it in line with the rest of the UAE players. But things are improving, be it slowly.

hello people, I am unable to upload my CV on the job application page, which meets all the specs of the requirement (file type & size), hence I am stuck at page 1 (CV only) of application and the rest of the attachments are still too far to be uploaded. I tried 3 difference browsers at different times and different days, but none has worked so far. Somebody please guide me as to how to put my application across. Is it some third party way only or their website is having some technical glitch?
Oh C'mon AMN. It's not that bad ! Just seen a photo of Khareem (C/A), used to be my neighbour in Juffair, looking the same as he was 25 years ago, surrounded by GF chicks in pink uniforms. Did GF change to pink or was it just another wild Khareem party ? Looked fabbo anyweay !

Gordo keeps hitting his head on his small swimming pool when he dives in. Should have stayed in past company as he would have ended up in BA with huge pension.

IRONBUTT57 ! Ha ! I was never much good at thinking "outside" of the box......if you know what I mean.......and, I think, one of the chicks in pink was me ! Kareem really did hold the best afterlanding parties. Cripes. Where has 25 years gone ? Oh & thanks also to Gipsey. And here's me thinking size didn't matter. Boo hoo !

Any word on who might the next CEO be ? Could be interesting to know who it would be as the airline that shall not be named will be doing major restructuring and another one less airline to compete with in the saudi market .
Pan Am : Using up the last of my "FIRM, FOC" (.....NOT......), went to BAH and tried to volunteer for the job but couldn't get past the Laundry. Told Security I was volunteering for the CEO job and you could hear the laughter in Amwaj. Rotters !
I will try again next year with my final "FIRM" (....N O T .......) FOC retirement gift (gift taken away, then re-instated but of reduced terms ). My first task , next year, will be to remove BAS from any staff travel connection with GF. Awful enduring being treated like an ID100 sub-loader and being laughed at when proclaiming "firm-FOC" status ! Oooooooh, it was ghastly. Reminded me of the many bad memories & spoiled my trip completely.
Second task will be to remove corruption and disassociate from Parliament. Now that will be the real challenge. Like Hollywood's Arnold, I told my mate in Security : "I'll be back !"
