In Oman Air, these clowns in management (mostly Indihe) operate crews min. rest, max FDP and then live in a fantasy and try to convince the boss (mostly unexperience local or jobless expat in their own country with fake papers) they are operating an efficent airline ,just makes me laugh. all of them put together could not make money if they had a printer.

90% of expat pilots in Omanair are looking to move. The other 10% are either bonded on A330, very near retirement or bonded for Command upgrade. There are also a few still living in fairy land...

Interesting posts. But it seems like all these airlines are about the same. If you go to the Fly Dubai thread there are people there telling you to stay away--The same for Oman Air, EK, EY, Qatar. So what is one to do? If you need a job then where else can you or should you apply?

agreed to certain extent with your post but when it comes to:

management/hr-door's closed/paperwork always missing
rostering-changes daily
lifestyle-most of it is@work
pay-much lesser than any of the above mentioned
benefits-unknown
retirement-2 1/2 mths BASIC salary after 3 years after resignation & deductions
housing-TOO LOW to post so it have to be deducted from salary
education-top up from your own pocket
annual leave-if possible
id/annual tickets-come back next week/it's expensive now
promises-empty
fleet transfer-sign a 3 year bond
upgrades-those passed still waiting for mths
job security-omanisation

elsewhere is recruiting

heard WY fly to Kathmandu

it will be done only by "selected line pilot", can you imagine the "selected line pilot" are selected by a 4 musketeers TRE of WY and this musketeers never ever see Kathmandu in his life even have the balls to make a first flight with their line FO (M....a or F....d), heard last year the training simulator they created was not approved by their DGCASreally no shame

With all these guys suddenly leaving how come there are no vacancies posted on the WY website. Also why would someone leave WY to go to FlyDubai? It would seem that not much would change based on reports being made on pprune.

The Kathmandu route scares the proverbial out of me.

By all accounts, the initial sim sessions were a joke, with numerous types rolling, bouncing and smashing their way through it.

EFATO then straight to LNAV wasn't it? "The autopilot will take care of everything!"

One shudders to imagine the carnage!

Scary scary!


By the way......any more news on the Algerian Aerobatic Team?

Nope. Way above my pay-grade.......but even a low-level jockey like me knows it was all a bit hairy.

I would certainly not be comfortable in the back on that route having learned what went on.
