Thanks alot for the info. Do you know how long for the upgrade and are they adding anymore airplanes and any more new City's. thanks again for your help.

Great post Terd, lots of info.:ok:
Thanks

Where do I sign ???
Do they take non rated ?
BP

I don't think they take none rated people, But I could be wrong. Their pay look's better than EY for flying 320's. Now the question is, what is cost of living in SHJ. from the post above for FO look's like you can make about 25 to 26000 a month I hope it's enough money to live in SHJ and save some. I was told the rents are very High in U.A.E anywhere you live.

320 type rated only however there is an ab-initio program in place for Nationals.
Do take on second officers with a bare type rating and progress/promote to F/O status. Upgrades to date have been extended to F/Os with approximately 1 year at the company however a few have been bypassed due to lack of an ATPL.
Roughly 60 pilots now operating 5 aircraft with 3 more airplanes coming by the end of 2006. Have announced new destinations Kabul and Istanbul with more to be announced as the new airplanes arrive.
For more info, see www.airarabia.com
Cheers.

Hi , I was thinking about doing a F/O course with jetlink, apparently all the pilots that have done the A320 type rating did their 500 hours with Air Arabia and then were all employed as F/O's there. Can you give me any more info on this Terd?






(please no debate on the self funded type rating etc etc)

Terd Furguson, please check you PM.
Many thanks.

66,000 euro????
Are you being serious?

jetlink
 

Yes I have been considering the course as it would pay its self off in three years. If I pay for a instructor rating that would probly pay itself off in around 3 years aswell but I will have jet time instead off single piston engine time.

Air Arabia?
 

Just wondering if anyone out there is current on the employment situation with Air Arabia, the LCC based out of Sharjah? Wondering if they employ low timer, non-type rated guys...with the year bond of employment without salary?

Any information would be great?

Cheers,

N-man :)

Air Arabia
 

you will not get any info on AA here. everybody is to busy bashing EK and other airline's. Sorry I hope someone will respond.

You'll have salary... You may have to sign a bit of your life though. Contact them directly as the other are bashing the Gulf majors according to uspilot...:ugh:

Air Arabia
 

Does anyone have any strong opinions good or bad on Sharjah based "Air Arabia"?

LCC
 

Well Air Arabia seems to be the first real LCC in the region. New A/C, reliable OPS and I had the impression, the crews are very well skilled. Flew with them twice KBL-SHJ and vv, will chose them again.
Would be great if anyone would provide some background information.

Question
 

Check P.M.s please.

Air Arabia Pilots From Oman Air
 

Recently Air Arabia has employed pilots from Oman Air who left because they were not treated with respect under the management of Captain MM and his gang. Suprisingly one of his biggest supporter and fanatic Captain YS (Bin Laden) has been employed in Air Arabia. Captain Bin Laden never flew the jets in Oman Air (only F27 and ATR)because of his beliefs that alcohol and women are serving on board. I wonder what is Air Arabia female pilots and cabin crew are going to be treated by this maniac. He also never wanted to trim his untidy long beard. This man held the position of Divisional Manager Operation three times, never made it, and his always hungry of more money and power. There days were numbered after two brothers in the ministry of communication who used to protect them were all kicked out.
I wonder what was the management at air arabia were thinking to employ him.
Who knows, maybe you will also take Captain MM with you who is hungry of power, recently kicked out of management for mismagement of his department.

You have to respect his beliefs even if you're not ok with, he in his own right to have a beard and Oman air and Air Arabia are company from muslim countries, so if you not happy with that go back to home or if you are a national take it easy or move.

I'm very shocked by such a behavior it's like tomorrow everyone decide to impose to others his point of view, NO WAY, we have to respect each other and above all respect the integrity of each other even if we disagree the way of life of mr or miss ******, you can be atheist, jew, christian, muslim, whatever, it's up to you, but please keep you xenophobic comments for you.

Bye

untidy bearded pilot
 

:D good job Magnum44, it appears you also have had the pleasure to work under capt MM's clan:uhoh: !flying the F-27 or the Otter? i am sure Laden man YS:8 gave you upset inflight tummy. And thru your threads you also seem pretty down by the way the aviation is handled in this part of the greater circle.
And what are you doing nowadays? still flying the F-27 out of OMDB!!
Menikos' attitude towards his fellow airmen is what we really need and not an unhappy lad (magnum44) who gets je----- of his ex-colleagues progress.
K Regards
INVERTER

Through hi colleague no pb but the beard and so sound like his attacking islam, he can attack the man because of his behavior or simply his skill(s) but he has to be wise in his own comments I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Anyway hope you and him will find a better job with people who suits you.

MM left to Air Arabia

cpt mm
 

:eek: u mean he is joining the lead with YS??
Wow what a completion.

As far as I've heard Capt MM ain't going any where.
