330 F/O.
Does anyone know if they would consider a rated and current pilot with less than 1000 hours on type? Say around the 600-700 hour range or are their requirements set in stone?
Total time is almost 5000 with over half being greater than 12500.

Honey 737,
The pay here depends on the total duty hours you do and not the block flight time,so on average you would be doing close to 100-120 duty hours a month,
last time i checked the duty pay was as follows:
0 - 50hrs--1ro/hr
50 - 100 hrs-- 4 ro/hr
100-120 hrs--9 ro/hr
120-140hrs--14ro/hr
140--above--18ro/hr
dont know what f/o salary is but capts:
Basic 2442 ro
supp 959 ro
housing 575 ro
utilities 80 ro
plus education 75% reimbursed or up 2500ro maximum,depending on childrens age and grade of education.
Hope the figures help.

Thank you very much for information it does help.
Don't want to sound stupid, but. Fly pay as you put it, let say you did 110 duty time, you get for first 50*1ro, next 50*4, and 10*9 =340ro or you take whatever rate is for that time is like 110*9=990ro?
Does make a big difference. And is it on top of what you put in:
Basic 2442 ro
supp 959 ro
housing 575 ro
utilities 80 ro
Now we will sit and wait for them to call me for screening.
Any infor on what you can expect during interview any tips.
Thanks

Guys,
I am looking very closely at Oman Air and quite like the look of what I see. The answers various people have provided have been most useful in getting this far.
I have several specific questions and if people can make time to answer one or more I would be most grateful.
1 - Is the holiday entitlement 42 or 46 days...plus approx 8 public holidays (or are these 8 built in to the 40 odd).
2 - Is there full health insurance for you and your dependants (some provide 100% for you and partial cover for your family).
3 - Any idea about the waiting times for secondary schools.
4 - Is there any higher education allowance (college) for 16 to 18 year olds.
5 - What would be a typical monthly cost for utilities (Air conditioning / water etc).
6 - Are the fees for higher education similar to those already quoted for junior schools.
7 - Someone mentioned a "decent" villa for 800 OMR....is this a four bed villa ..any links which might give me a better idea of what to expect.
8 - Any idea about the interview process?
9 - What are the bonding arrangements for type rated guys and girls?
10 - Is there a law in Oman similar to UAE where, when you eventually leave, you are get 21 days pay for every year you work for the company?
Thanks in advance.

Honey 737,
yep flight pay calculated in stages as per your first calculations and not the second.
Interview process differs,depending on who you get,but sim is pretty standard from experience,visual circuts,S/E airwork and ILS,intercepting radials and normally all the things covered in a standard base check.
all the best...

The website to apply doesnt work correctly,well i couldnt get it to work?? I have sent emails with the cv to the address listed on this forum but heard nothing.I only have just over a thousand on the Ng so maybe plenty more experienced guys have applied.Good luck to all though fingers crossed this financial crisis will leave as quick as it arrived and the airlines once again will be trying to poach pilots from each other!!

Hey Guys, It won't be a call, if successful (initial screening) you should have an e-mail next week. You will have to fill in a form and return it pronto as Oman Air need drivers to replace those on upgrade courses. BTW it is weekend here today...so next week starts on Saturday 21 (you will have to get used to that).

Would really appreciate any info on which areas expat staff with kids in school live? The school's seem mainly to be in the MQ or Qurm areas. Do staff tend to gravitate towards those areas?

Sim Assesment Location?
Miss Creant, Hiya, any idea where the sim evals will be held? Any chance of getting one here in Dubai?
Funny thing, seems that after I completed the Oman Air online aplication a few months ago, I have been contacted in the last couple of days by a couple of different recruiting agencies, 1 of which just guranteed me a screening slot in Gatwick as long as I agree to pay them $6,000. Do these guys have access to the Oman Air online app database?
Curious as to what's up with this?

Dear Wunwinghi,
Your information given to date is very useful. Would you be able to advise how much one would expect to pay rent per month in an area closeby the foreign schools such as MQ? Or whether there are any other areas popular with families with kids in the 10-12 year age range and where rents are reasonable?

School Fees
Aba school fees 1035 OMR per term for an 8 year old 3 terms a year. going up by5% in September.
Oman Air reimburse 75% upto a limit of 2200 OMR(not 2500) Per Child Per year upto grade 5. Ther is also an unrefundable buildings fee on starting of 1500 OMR non refundable Oman Air says it will refund registration feesm As the school call the Buildings fee a buildings fee they will not refund it!!! you have to pay the school fees yourself and then the company will refund you, so every few months (3) you have to find the cash to pay the fees not always easy.
