Mmmmh.... Sound like the typical A320 low cost rumor... Although I think it would work very well to CMB and DAC... Even Manila! If their are not doing there must be a reason, maybe they are thinking about it...Where did you hear that?

Hey Iron Eagle,
I am in the process of applying to ADA in the UAE, any tips? What's it like? Thanks,

Quoted from Al Nawras, airarabia on board magazine article about a study done by Aviation Week Magazine "The study highlighted that Air Arabia is a i pioneer in a region that has been not only LCC-averse, but also widebody-focused" Maybe yo saw the info there...

Hey guys,

Just curious if anyone from AA can answer a question. I know you get ID90s on EK, but is that for Y class only or can you get business class ID90s? How about travel on EY and travel on your own equipment? Do you have passes for friends and family, or just for yourself? Thanks for any information, it's appreciated!

hey guys..can anyone bring me up to speed about AA second officer's recruitment? i appreciate it

Big Footer 8th Dec 2009 07:41

long-gonner,

[know you get ID90s on EK]

not any more , only 4 requests a month for all employees & no EY ID90 as well.

[business class ]

you'll never see that seat on EK unless you pay for it.

you are on your own right here.

long-gonner 8th Dec 2009 12:41

BF,

Thanks for the information!

gipsy moth 28th Dec 2009 13:37

They are, but in a very slow pace. You must be really desperate, good luck!

Giggey 16th Jan 2010 12:45

hunter320 3rd Feb 2010 08:31

Hi Guys would realy like to know what kind of package AA offer for Alex base. thinking of applying.

cheers

Keltic Tigger 3rd Feb 2010 11:37

A couple of questions, I can't find anyone who has been taken on for the new planned hub in March, it appears to be a well guarded secret.

Has anyone been offered a pilot position formally at the Egyptian hub?

Has anyone been taken out of the Air Arabia pool for the Egyptian operation?

Cheers

Tigger :ok::ok:

Pilot Recruitment
 
Hey all!

Looks like there aren't any interview dates on the AA website. Does any one know what their current pilot recruiting status is? I'm about to submit my online ab-initio pilot application, but need to specify an interview date from the dates on the website.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Keltic Tigger 5th Feb 2010 12:19

Hey Big Footer,

Thanks for the info. It doesn't make sense, I know guys that are waiting in the holding pool,they haven't heard anything from Air Arabia about start dates, and yet they have 2 new aircraft starting in Egypt in a matter of weeks, and to compound the situation people are leaving. So surely things should be moving there on the recruitment front.

I'm trying to get an interview but I can't get any information out of the company,but it's like I say it just doesn't make any sense.

So any news of $$$$ coming our way.....;);):oh:

Big Footer 16th Feb 2010 07:49

I would say check your pigeon hole for the letter (unfortunately dismantled ) or check the copmany e-mail for ceo announcement to the employee (unfortunately shutdown) or you may ask M..... (unfortunately terminated) :}

Good luck;)

Does anyone at Air Arabia have any more info on the "ab initio" vacancies? Payscales, expected numbers to be recruited, typical roster etc

Many thanks in advance:ok:

gipsy moth 21st Feb 2010 15:37

It doesn't look they are looking for lowtimers, some local second officers showed on the sceene...
You really want to come? 3 captains fired , and one downgraded to first officer
in about a month, they love pulling out bars....One in at "training" etops flight (in Airabia training is checking) two in the PPC after being recommended for the check, as it happened before, downgraded in PPC as well!
Management using the safety software to monitor fuel managing and fuel saving procedures... Watch out guys, big bro is watching...

Big Footer 22nd Feb 2010 12:40

big bro is watching...
 
Peeking is the right word , let me remind you that they can't do more than peeking when it comes to normal operation as per the LAW ,
they need Accident/Incident to Access and control these data , CVR's and FDR's exist in order to record information that may be of use in a subsequent accident/incident investigations NO MORE .
Have fun & keep bringing your food from home .:ok:

gipsy moth 22nd Feb 2010 16:32

Geeeeee... Don't give'm ideas!!
Coffee brewed from home taste better... Yes, bring the food from home, like in school! Tupper power strikes back!!!

Big Footer 22nd Feb 2010 17:12

Don't give'm ideas!!
 
they are way out of their league , but shopping in ACE for outdoor stuff was Fun .

Yebo 23rd Feb 2010 07:42

For the insiders
 
What does a captain roster looks like? Sharja base.
average hours per month, days off?
are they hiring DECs ?

thanks

Yebo

gipsy moth 24th Feb 2010 03:04

8 days OFF an month sometimes up to 10, you get a couple paired up, occasionally you can get 3 in a row, no more.
flying hours, you'll fly up to the limit, monthly hours from 80 to 110, average 95(?)
From 3 to 9 nights flights per month, now up to 2 in a row.
Very disrupting roster, changes from deep night to early morning and vice versa with minimum rest.
Money is good.

Vc10Tail 7th Mar 2010 06:09

Hi Gipsy
 
Good dai!

1)You have posted much worth keeping an eye on but kindly advise how long you have been a servant of ABY?It may be worthy learning from your perspective and experience!

2)Hiring on the new second officer deal...what have you on it...does it stink or is it worth it?

3)Any news from chaps who were skinned thru it and came out alive and financially liquid to tell the story?Are there any who completed training but no job at the end of the tunnel?

4)How does the course rate as far as classroom support...or is it more or less a self study-under supervision deal?Is the duration for line training adequate for inexperienced prop spinners/ non rated drivers say?How many sectors before line check?

5)Do you guys fly hard enough to break the CARS:}???Why cant you refuse and comply?

6)Do pilots and cabin crew have any say to improve how things are dealt with such as rostering?

7)What are the prospects for command upgrades and why such a high failure rate and demotions to match?

8)Areyou expected to learn the FCOM by rote?

OK guys spill the beans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:E

Vc10Tail 7th Mar 2010 06:13

Arabia Wana Bees

Alexandria Base
 
Hi AA drivers,

Many thanks in advance for any help and info

Happy Ldgs
