Any updates on when those second officers in the holding pool will be called to start line training?

Air Arabia Medical
 

Hello Everybody!

Could you please enlighten me about the class 1 medical for AA? Do they have their own specific requirements in order to be eligible for work at the company? Do I have to undergo the medical tests at AA's clinic or with a specific AME? Or is it just the same as any UAE GCAA class 1 medical with any approved AME?

Your input in this regard is highly valued.

Safe landings! :ok:

Come on guys! No more people around here are working for AA or what?!

That was only a little inquiry, wasn't it?


Cheers.

100 hours a month = no time for pprune.

If I'm writing on pprune it's only because I've reached my 900hrs/year :)
Cargo? Never heard. But if anything is worth doing, I'm sure AA will think about it.
We have our "own" clinic in Sharjah Airport. It's a standard UAE GCAA class 1 medical, straigh forward. There is only one exam (that I don't remember) that you can do in any hospital.
Every month we have new second officers MPL coming from Alpha Aviation, it's not an easy jump from cessna to Airbus, but they work and study hard.
Cheers!

Hi bettigio,
I'm from Italy and I'm thinking about joining alpha aviation.
I would like to ask you if you know anything about orders for new planes? Is air arabia looking to put an order for new a320s? I read on an article that Adel Ali, CEO of Air Arabia, is contemplating the a320neo, 737max and the Cseries.
Do you guys know anything about a new order?

Reduced FO terms...
 

bettigio, could you please post or PM the current direct entry FO salary please.

My experience is 3000 TT and 2750 A320 family

With the salary is life comfortable, able to afford car, housing and schooling for children etc?

Would appreciate your comments.

Thanks CP.

I really don't know about new airplane order.
So far we received almost half of the 44 new airbus. In 2013 they will come with the new sharklets. Last delivery should be completed in 2016.
Airbus A320Neo, B737Max they will be around in 2016 as well. Still too early to make predictions, plus Sharjah airport is too small for all this aircraft.
Rumours says they will build a new terminal especially for Air Arabia, like Easyjet is doing in Europe.
Cheers.

Is the order for the 737MAX finalized?

Dear all Air Arabia employees, or some one who has some info:

What's the latest over there?
Any new hires?
How many FOs do they expect to hire per year?

What is the time for upgrade?

Thank you all very much!

pay scale
 

hey can u tell me hw much woud a aircraft technician would get paid in air arabia?

Receiving some useful answers for the queries in here is getting more difficult!
Unexpectedly, this is sending a sort of subtle messages to the chaps who are following up! It's raising more questions and getting rather worrying!:suspect:

Good luck busy AA guys and happy new year!

Bumping this thread up, sorry.

Hi guys

I saw that Arabia is hiring for SHJ base.... anyone has any feedback concerning their assessment?

Thanks

Just heard today ABY will only hire new F/O's from "their" flightschool hence no more experienced rated pilots. Can anyone in ABY confirm/deny that?

Hi champs,

i need Interview questions for non rated SOs and any other info regarding the process etc....

Thank you guys !

application
 

hi guys

i have been trying to apply unsuccessfully from their website for the last 3 months

anybody gone through the same difficulties ? any solution ?

New route Venice-Fez effective May 2nd, 4xw.

Rumors about possible switch from CUF to TRN operations.

Non-rated SO's? Didn't see that vacancy.. Or do you mean the MPL cadet programme with Alpha Aviation?

Yes non rated SO position (fresh graduate)... I need interview tech questions ... Is the ACE good enough to prepare ?

Hello all!

I have just read AA is looking for A320 Captains and FOs for their bases Casablanca, Sharjah and Alexandria.

Unfortunely for me it seems that for Captain positions they ask previous TRE/TRI experience:(

are they also looking for fresh type rated pilots on A320

and i cant find any link plzz help me...:ugh:

Post you resume to [email protected]

Good luck Flyingmachine3

Guys !

I need interview tech questions , where can i find them ? Or just tell me what should i focus on and what should i expect ?

Thank you,

Global01

No chance for non-typed guys huh! Stupid RJ!!!

Global1 can you confirm if they are accepting applications for SO?? I know a few fresh graduates with Jordanian fATPLs looking for SO jobs if true that would be very helpful. It could be for Alpha Aviation instead if I'm not mistaken

Here I am,
Air Arabia is always looking for pilots (FO, CPT). If you have no experience (0 hrs) only with Alpha Aviation MPL programme. If you're willing to pay 700 THOUSAND AED with a salary of 5000 AED to start, welcome. At least you'll get 1500 hrs and your full ATPL...and that's according to your performace, it's not garantee.
General questions from ACE book and systems questions from smartcockpit or cockpit4u, don't remember. Know by heart how to calculate green dot speed. Simulator engine failure V1, raw data VOR or ILS, manual flight, full stop landing 20 min session max.
In the last couple years the salary of the new joiners with experience was decreased , the house allowance reduced by 5000 AED per month and others benefits taken away. If you're second officer no comments.
Bonus the more you fly, the less you get. Our new motto is PAY LESS FLY MORE :)
I was really proud to work here when I joined, but all of this cutting costs just makes me sad...but the future is always brighter :) Cheers

Bumping this up.

Why is it always so quiet in this thread?
It is still a big carrier in the ME.

What is the latest in Air Arabia?

It is very simple. none of us have enough time to complain. just work, sleep and S**T.
100 hours a month is standart. so whatever free time you have, you spend it with your family or friends. so no time to read pprune.

Hello.
Thanks for your reply in the Air Arabia thread.

May I ask if you are working as a commander of FO?

Do you have any lay overs on your trips?

If you say you fly close to 100hrs/ month, wouldn't you be maxed out in the duty time within 10months? What happens the last two months of the year?

Thanks for your time

Interview info
 

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum.....can anyone share the info regarding selection process in AA. I have assessment coming up next month but hardly know what to expect specially the written exam etc. good luck to all.
Cheers

Air Arabia MPL
 

Hi,

I have just stared looking at the MPL Scheme, however you have to pay the training fees all yourself and no loan seems available unlike the BBVA at oaa etc.

Can anyone who might have already commenced training give any advice on how to acquire the funding?

Greatly Appreciated

Flyerjoe

Reduced salary, tough duty rosters, high cost of living. :confused:

Don't forget to grab your own water as you pass by the dispatch desk as none is provided onboard.

One to steer well clear of.

Can you guys bid for daytime flying only?
Would rather fly 6 sectors daytime.

There are layovers to DAC, CGP & KTM. So, in principle, you would be back home 98% of your roster. Very friendly place.

Flying hours for cabin crew
 

Hi guys , I just got the offer letter for air arabia as a cabin crew. Now the salary package was not quite impressive but they say that I can make money on my number of flying hours. Can anyone tell me how many hours the cabin crew flys a month ? And can we ask for more hours ? What's the medical test they have before hiring you in even after they give the offer letter ?

On an average cabin crew fly about 100+ hours. ...and yes you do have an option of making yourself available for flying on your OFF day ...if its not your legal OFF. ;)



PS: cabin crew fly a LOT....

currently we don't do 6 sectors a day! maximum is 4 but mostly its 2 sectors a day.

I highly doubt you will be able to do daytime flying only. maybe you can swap with your fellow colleagues but it might not always work out due to legality issues.

thanks fernandez does that mean you get to see the sunrise quite often?
thats why i left the gulf months ago and i still can't get a continuous night sleep
looking for gigs where passengers don't fly at night.

Alpha assesment
 

hey guys, im thinking of going through their MPL program but im little afraid of the Selection Assessment, does any body have any useful information about it, specially about the aptitude tests and the panel interview ? .
