Fly Dubai
Hello guys I am new here, I am a pilot from Egypt I have an FAA CPL, i am applying for fly dubai, they sent me the program details which they said the prices should be confidential but anyway, they said that I will have to come to Dubai to get an assessment for the second officer program, I dont have a type rating so they said that if I were to pass the assessment I would get a type rating at CAE which I will pay for the whole of the training, with no guarantee that if I pass I will work there, so I have zero jet hours, and I have no type rating, so I think that if I were to be hired after the type rating it would be a good deal but with no guarantee is it worth the risk, or is it just something they say to not be held liable but they actually hire all who pass?

flydubais new ambition is to recruit lots and lots of paying cadets. They are cheap labour that don’t earn flight pay have reduced salaries and are heavily bonded for 5 years. The bond is non reducing for 5 years which means you will owe the full amount if you leave before this. With more cadets there will be more completion for places. Not all will get jobs.
fzuk Why'd you say that? Personally think it's a great gig. Dare to say it's the best in the ME at the moment. But that's based on personal preferences.

Go for it. In 5 years you'll have some 3500 hours and possibly command or close to, and your market options will increase.

Currently that is factually not correct.

That's not good advice for a non-type rated pilot nowadays. Yes, many types of operation will make you hate your pilot job but they will be a step towards gathering the experience required to end up in a type of operation and with a conditions package that will make you feel the rewards of being a pilot.

Depending on your age and where home is, a good goal could be to end up in a legacy career back home. Let's not forget so quickly how huge the barrier was to transition from 250h prop to a jet job. Sometimes a pilot's gotta do what a pilot's gotta do. The earlier the better.

That is correct and in my eyes not an issue. What was factually not correct is when you said "new ambition is to recruit lots and lots of paying cadets." They don't, have not and most likely will not. Cadet nbrs are a drop in the ocean compared to the rest if you ask me.
