For what it's worth, I heard that the CP and DO apparently got themselves some nice new type ratings but then did not meet the insurance requirements and at least one of them got let go. (one had no jet time and had bought his own Hawker type rating a few years ago).

If correct, have they hired any new managers?

Don't believe everything you hear, it just makes you look gullible.

Seems to have gone quiet over there.

Beech 200 Driver - feel free to set the record straight if you actually know what's going on at AJ!

Na, its more fun hearing the speculation.

To be honest, I just don't feel immature enough to have to justify my actions to people who don't have any involvement in the company or my life.

I hope that sets the record straight enough for you Dominie.
PS. You still shouldn't believe everything you hear

I was going to say that I appreciate the honesty, but then I saw that you had edited out why you bought your own type rating etc.


Back to the original question though, who is in management over there now? What I can gather from previous posts you are the CP? But then again, I shouldn't believe everything I hear.

Just interested in hearing current thoughts/opinions/etc on this operation. Talked to the Director of HR today, who sounded very nice and straightforward, but I'm always interested in hearing from all quarters.

Regards,

I'm always interested to learn about MENA operators. Would you mind sharing what aircraft or job it was regarding, and what your thoughts were?

Thanks!

Thoughts on working for Arabian Jets.....

Here's a thought.... RUN! I was always told growing up "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!" When you get the contract / offer letter, just use it as toilet paper, because that's all it's worth... Nothing will be honored!

As AJ is still a new company, if you have not got patience, understanding of the Middle East, tolerance of other cultures and most of all the ability to muck in and help get things sorted rather than siting around bitchin, then don't join this company.
If however, you have the understanding that Rome was not built in a day, that this is not the "all fantastic" US of A, and that all new companies face new and varied challenges, and you are prepared to try and make things work rather than hoping they will fail, then this is a good prospect.

To many pilots around, not specifically at AJ, but in general, that like to sit back and watch as people around them struggle to make things happen, and as soon as something goes wrong they jump on the "see, I told you so" wagon.
All good things come to those who are prepared to work hard to succeed!!

This is our CP! Wow you actually believe that BS? You are more screwed up than I thought. So, because AJ is a new company you are allowed to lie and not honor the contracts?

Sorry, I didn't know anybody had a contract at this stage, you must be real special, cause I don't have one.

I guess you two know each other??

So, erm, I like to think of myself as a "get it done" type of guy and I certainly think I've worked hard to get where I am, and don't see any reason to stop now. When you've flown boxes for years on end in ancient airplanes in the middle of the night all by your lonesome, you have to "muck in" as it was put above.

With that said, there are two sides. I work hard, management tells the truth and delivers what they promise. Anyone want to go in to what promises are in dispute?
