Luibar,

axialflow,

Thanks for the information. Hopefully the hotels are ok.
Just asked because I see that some of the flights are quite long.

How much is the layover allowance at ABY? Is it just night stops ? Hotels ok ?

On average, how many Air Arabia pilots get picked off by the ME3 per year?

Luibar 3rd Nov 2016 18:37
What kind of travel benefits/agreement do you have at Air Arabia? Is it only myidtravel or do you have some arrangements like Flydubai where they have standby business class?

Lets get this thread going again!!!!
 
Time to fire up this thread again

I am a 320 Captain (7500 total time inclusive on 2000hrs command) living in Dubai, working for the dark side, due well south of Sharjah. For personal reasons/circumstances I am considering AA.

I have been invited for a DEC interview, with the intention of going on to the 6/2 contract. Up to date information is very hard to come by (I have asked AA directly but no banana), so here are my questions:
1) Basic salary considering my experience (I realise they have a salary scale according to experience)
2) Flight Pay (realise it is complicated due to the various rates paid)
3) Education Allowance (I believe it is AED40k per child). Can it be used outside of the UAE?
4) Other allowances including housing/transport/uniform (I believe the total for these is AED174k)
5) Medical insurance. Is it any good? I don't need maternity cover....
6) AND Finally working a mix of days and nights and flying, say 90 hours in a month, what is the net salary EXCLUDING the fixed allowances every month?


Oh, and any ideas as to what a DEC interview entails?

Please feel free to PM me if you don't want to disclose the information publicly.

Is there restriction in where Air Arabia pilots have to live, or you is up to you?
In another words, can you live in Dubai or RAK instead of Sharjah?

You can live where you like.

Hansol, Thanks.

What is the current situation ? I can see them lowering terms and doing the usual "we only offer 6 months"

kinnar.patel 25th Aug 2017 13:47
what are the layovers at Air Arabia lately..How do they cover Far Europe destinations like Kiev,Moscow,SJJ,Nairobi?? Are these not layovers as they are all 5+hrs flying time one way.

Air arabia is offering temporary contracts for captains,
stating that there is a high chance of it being converted into a permanent contract by the end of this year. Have they done this in the past or will I be job hunting again at the end of the 6 month stint ? Any info will be appreciated.

I don’t know about the past but AA has confirmed growth plans with 3 more A320’s this year and 5 A321’s next so Captains are a high priority.

38,500 AED including housing, transport & uniform (for permanent contract)

2) Flight Pay (realise it is complicated due to the various rates paid)

yes bit complicated as there are slabs and night pay, but expect around AED 20,000 for 80 hr roster

3) Education Allowance (I believe it is AED40k per child). Can it be used outside of the UAE?

120k total for 3 kids, 40k per kid...can be used outside UAE but only 80%

4) Other allowances including housing/transport/uniform (I believe the total for these is AED174k)

correct. But I added above in basic in point # 1

5) Medical insurance. Is it any good? I don't need maternity cover....

not so good but manageable

6) AND Finally working a mix of days and nights and flying, say 90 hours in a month, what is the net salary EXCLUDING the fixed allowances every month?

net salary for 90 hours INCLUDING everything for your experience will be around 60k, increases by another 7k once u pass 3000pic on type

Oh, and any ideas as to what a DEC interview entails?

day1 written exam, psychometric test and personal interview. Day 2 sim check (40mins, basic)

Please feel free to PM me if you don't want to disclose the information publicly.

Apparently Air Arabia is recruiting Captains to Sharjah (according to SIGMA). Any big expansion expected soon?

kenwaters 15th Jun 2018 08:17

no expansion beyond extra 6 321's that will come next year. But we are always understaffed and summer is particulary tight for the rostering. Check what kind of contract is on offer cause there seems to be more than few different options depending who you talk to.

a32O 7th Aug 2018 04:11
Hi guys!

Do the company really need captain at the moment? I've tried to apply, but no response, mb my pic experience not enough(~1100).

Another question, what is the salary difference between full time and commuting contact(6/2)?

For full time real salary around 15-16k usd? Right?

Hansol 11th Aug 2018 09:53
Does AA offer a commuting contract?

LIPS Support 30th Jul 2019 18:59
Hi all,

Can someone please provide me with the Loss of License package that AA contractually guarantees to their pilots in the event of long-term sickness or termination for medical reasons? We have a product for $86 / month with the following benefits that may be of interest to AA pilots, depending on what they're already provided:

UNDERWRITTEN by Lloyd’s of London, the oldest, largest insurer and reinsurer in the world.
  • $6,800 (AED 25,000) per month
  • Payable for the first five years of medical disability.
  • No maximum age cut-off to join.
  • No medical exam required.
  • Covered to the day before your 65th birthday.
  • You keep your cover when you change airlines.
  • Membership in the Baymac Group included in your monthly payment which gives you access to top-ups for the basic plan, health insurance, life insurance and free legal consultations.
Regards,
Peter Davis

Hi everybody!
Does anybody know if Air Arabia is still looking for captains for their Abu Dhabi base. And what's the salary?

Thank you!

Any feedback for the Moroccan AOC? Pay, rosters, environment, etc..

k.swiss 10th May 2023 12:08
Fly Jinnah
Fly Arna
Air Arabia (Sudan)

The only bases you can expect to be recruited to, not Morocco. Good luck, they will call you for the simulator assessment and then hit you with the reality, take it or leave it. We are not short of Captains anywhere else.
