Oman Air recruiting?

Hi folks,


Does anybody knows if Oman Air recruiting currently B737 FO?
friend of mine got invitation from agency that "recruits" for Oman Air, asking 500 USD deposit. Never heard reputable agency asking that.


Just if anybody knows is Oman recruiting or not at the moment?


Thanx!

Oman Air recruiting?

Read somewhere on Pprune recently about someone who went to Istanbul for 'Oman Air recruitment' and it turned out to be a big scam..

i I read the same

Hey, I read the same thing a while ago but cludnt find the thread again. Anyway, the conclusion was that it turned to be a big scam. The guy said he went to istanbul for sim assessment, and found nothing of what he was told.

No reputable company would charge their future pilots for assessments.

BEWARE

I am pretty sure avia workforce and meccti are scams they say they recruit for Oman air, the website gives a phone number that does not work and an address at a building with no listed tenants.

Meccti, Avia Work force

Hey guys, hold on now, I did this interview/assessment recently and it was very LEGITIMATE. There is absolutely nothing wrong if a company choose to have an agency recruit their pilots. My current company does that, and that is how they recruit their pilots. Not because this may be your first time working with an agency and they require a deposit, it does not make the offer a scam. I did my assessment in Istanbul for Oman Air through Meccti, Aviation Workforce Agency and it went very well. Just be careful of WHO is saying the negative things about these people. Maybe they weren't successful in the assessment. Oman Air is recruiting and Meccti is the agency to contact if you are B737 typed and interested. People should not spread bad word simply because they are bitter.

Hi All!

I was surprised reading that negative feedback about Meccti Aviation Workforce Agency. I've been on Oman Air interview in Istanbul in December. I was very satisfied. I enrolled to Oman Air with this Agency, and the whole procedure was correct. On the interview there where three gentlemen, a 737 instructor pilot, an Oman Air representative, and a Meccti representative. All of them were very kind with us. The transport was organized by the Agency, and the interview held in IFTC. Four F/Os at the same time from different countries. At the beginning started with a company introduction, followed by checking of personal documents together with the others, and then a technical interview. Some questions on systems limitations, ATPL theory. After this part I paid the 500 USD, to the Meccti representative. I didn't have to pay in advance, just on the day of the interview, according to the contract. (I think it is straightforward that you have to pay for an agency, if they organize an interview to an airline.) After that we had a briefing about the simulator part. The sim check was according to the brief, no rush, standard Boeing procedures. A few days later, I got an email from the Agency, that I passed the screening. Thats it! So I had very good experiences.

Oman Air Assessment

I totally agree with " jurapilot" about the statement of Oman Air assessment which was held at Istanbul last month, I was there too , I had the same way of treatment , everything were so organized and professionally handled

Some of the guys who actually failed they post some fake stories about Oman Air Scam assessment bla bla bla,,, I completely don't agree with him definitely that guy had some negative personality and bad attitude.

I did passed the assessment and I felt happy that I will be joining one of the fastest growth airlines in the gulf region .


I recommend all to take there chance if they are interesting to join this company its not a bad deal ,,, ITS WORTH IT

All candidates friend of mine that I was in touch with them admitted that the assessment were faire.

Good Luck For All

Be very careful. The last two posts come from people new to Pprune. Looks like a setup to me. Never pay to be assessed, if you are good enough they pay you!

its amazing how the positive posts always come from new ppruners... I did not know Oman Air was one of the fastest growth airlines in the gulf region.



guess they must have a secret order book we don't know off... maybe more planes on order that the big three...

Guys, you can trace any website physical address

Guys, you can trace any website physical address where it is hosted, so if they dont pick up the phone, trace it, and call the company hosting the website, they will get you in contact with this speudo recruiting company

Isn't it a bit off how 2 new members claimed that it isn't a scam....


This new member finds it oddly suspicious.Use extreme cautious and ask Oman Air for details regarding the matter!

MECCTI

They are definitely hiring for OmanAir,
Few of my friends got through and are flying for Oman Air.500$ is fees for processing ,sim check etc and non-refundable.They will also deduct one time charge of $3500 from your first Oman Air salary.
Good luck.

It’s really makes me laughing when I read your post about new pprune users & the set up things , etc…. very intelligent thoughts

well I guess this whole entire thread should be based on people experience and I just shared my personal experience wither u guys like it or not
for whom it may concern it could be useful information for him
and for other guys it could not and turn up to make it as scoff !!

Thank you MECCTI & Thanks for Omar Air I am forward to have a new challenge and start step ahead in my Aviation career history

Don't really know what the applause is for but all 330 crewing is done internally. No direct entry onto the WB fleet.
MECCTI are obviously lurking on these forums. There is no upfront fees required now at the time of the sim eval and interview. All fees to be paid after joining WY in MCT. Also heads up on a technical written before the interview and sim.... FYI.
First hand info from guys who have recently gone through the assessment.
Good luck.
