Rude Air Arabia Pilot
 

Hi there guys,

I was'nt aware that this thread exists...everything to know about Air Arabia. I just want to ask if anyone in here knows this certain AA pilot who refered VFR traffic as "idiots"? Please check the "Rude Air Arabia Pilot" thread for details regarding this matter. I just want you guys to know that this certain AA pilot is destroying the name of Air Arabia itself, which I believe is a respected Airline company.

Thank you guys for your time and good day

Air Arabia A320 opportunities
 

I hear Air Arabia are looking for direct entry FO's and Captains for their 320's does anyone have anymore information please? I understand they have just announced a public offering and have plans for 35+ new aircraft over the next 5years, so should be some good chances for command.

Whether it is a big publicity campaign or not, but Air Arabia is now in everyone's mind. Is it really good? Well, they are going to places.
What will the arrival of Jazeera in DXB mean to AA? Will it be a creative way to avoid EK investing in a Low Cost and challenge AA from a short distance? Food for thought...

Open Door
 

Cameltoe,

Yes Management has open door, but don't go in, because my freind went in to the chief pilot with a complaint and the answer was "if you don't like it, leave". And a Captain that i flew with said the same thing had happened to him.

And the upgrades are not happening like they said they would, hiring lots of captains instead, direct.

Kala 320, I sent you a PM ....

air arabia dont go 320f/o
 

I am interezted to aa screening this month. But everyon saying dont go . they have bad conditions and bad atitude to employee.my colege was their last month for interview and sayd it wasnt good.interview for him lasted 20 min but for his frend it was at least 1 hour. he said if your face fits they already decide if you are in the job.if they dont like you they finish the interview quickly.the sim assesment is also very hard. can any1 please give me information if they have been to the assesment and if it is worth spending 500 euros to go their. at least 5 people told me dont go, you are always exceeding your hours and after 1 year uae becomes boring.

Kala320

Please check your PM ...

Rakoto

can you send me questions
 

hello kala330
can you pls send me the question and what esle you have to do. any tecnical question in interview what to expect in the sim. even what you say i want to give it a trie.i also send you pm. please reply.
.are you based in france? which company did you get job with in France.do you think i should go to the simulator before i go for screening.

What you are saying is not true
 

kala320

How can you judge a company that you have never seen?:=
You only met few people and you are judging all, not knowing which engine you are flying after half an hour of sim explains how bad you did and I am sure your bad performance was the main reason for not recruiting you, if you have failed the interview they would not even bother taking you to sim.
I fly for AA and have not seen any rude people as you said and definitely not our TM.
We have a very good environment and more non Moslem pilots then Moslems, so if they did not select you it would not be fair to misjudge the entire company, anyhow good they did not select you, we would like to keep the nice atmosphere. :ok:
Good luck with you new company;)

The Truth About Arabia Interview Feb
 

:D After reading some of the posts regarding Air arabia, i was somewhat surprised of all the recent negative postings about them, I was at the selection in FEBRUARY and found no form of prejudice and found the whole recruitment team somewhat Impeccable.At the onset of the screening, we met initially the Chief Pilot who seemed very nice to us and was just giving us info regarding the company, he then introduced us to the head of HR and the TM. We were 5 in total and were initially given a psyco paper which was relatively straight forward, they are just wanting to check that you are not a complete lunatic.After this we were given a technical paper with around 45 questions mostly regarding airbus systems in particular autoflight, with some basic atpl quest.After this we were all given a group exercise which was to build a tower from straws, which what they want to see is TEAMWORK, dont worry if the tower falls down and dont act as if you are participating in a HOLLYWOOD movie as a few candidates were trying, the people at AA are certainly not stupid, just act yourself and dont try and act a leader.Emphasis is TEAMWORK and also try not to be an observer and officous.one of candidates was somewhat pertinacious which the rest of us didnt quite like, it was as if he had rehearsed this in the mirror for the last 2 years.In our group we most definitely didnt have reliance upon one another which is not the best way for a group discussion.it was somewhat dog eat dog.After this its time for the 3 to 1 interview.Chief Pilot, Training Manager and the Head of HR and me, i was first man in so didnt have the benefits of the others because they kept on asking what did they ask quick quick tell all. Actually the Interview went very well, its just about you and why you want to join, why not emirates and the the 3 most popular questions who would you vote out in group exercise (everyonebecause i want the job and im the best).If you got a job on a340 you would leave (no i cant be bothered studying anymore) the TM loves this quest he asked me it about 3 times, i suppose he wasnt impressed with my answer.the 3rd quest Why AA.the Interview lasts around 35 min and it was the same for everyone, one candidate kept reiterating he was out in 15 mins, but actually i think he could count and was saying the HR manageress walked out after 10 min because she didnt like his appearance and had already decided he was out(maybe she just needed to go to the toilet) or maybe he had bad breath, in any event we were all asked the same questions and all had the same time in the Interview. I thought the Management were really excellent, they put me at ease during the Interview, no tech quest its all about you,you,andyou.The TM is a little tricky to deal with but again very nice person.Okay day 1 over and the next day was the sim at emirates training centre, we meet the TRE a very young and calm TRE very nice and pleasant infact somewhat of a cool guy. WE were only 3/FO's for the sim so the Tre picked the 1st 2 and left me behind in the emirates lounge, after around 1 hour it was my turn he told me to jump in the right seat and one of the F/os would sit in right seat. I was extremely nervous and really tired i had just finished work so wasnt up for the sim, anyway "your in Dubai runway 12L cleared take off wind 200/25knots" which i missed, anyway strong xwind takeoff to land for visual,followed with S/E ILS go around strong crosswind and its over, anyway my sim also didnt go to well,the f/o i was flying with was somewhat a bit Crazy and was clearing the ecams before i was saying "clear". Anyway the TRE was very nice to all of us and was most definitely not out to fail us, infact i think the complete opposite he wanted us in.He even helpled me out several times.Anyway the sim was over he said goodbye we said goodbye and he even arranged for the transport back to our hotel which is all paid for via AA.
In relation to the PROFANE guy who is posting on this site saying YOU have to be BRad pitt or A moslem spelt MUSLIM incidentally grow the Fxxx up.Ofcourse they have a duty to employ LOcal UAE nationals, its a government request and not an individual company request.And also i was realy annoyed at one candidate whom was tunisian he did told us he had the questions for the tech exam which he obtained, but at the end of the day im sure AA are not stupid they can easily change the database of q's.
Overall i have no remorse of going to the Interview it was an experience and the management were Impeccable and it would be a great company to work for,But once again they are only employing actors/actresses/models/football players.(LOL)
Anyone needing any info regarding AA please dont hesitate to conatct me.Trust me its going to be the next EASYJET of the middle east:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Scotsman
 

Well my Haggis eating friend.....I hope we hire you as you sound like you would be a pleasure to work with. When you get on, I'll teach you how to slag-off all the VFR traffic and request straight in approaches....it's a hoot!! :ugh:
Good luck, eh! :ok:

the flying scotsman
 

I take it you got the job with them thats why you are defending them.Well I told you they are only employing moslem pilots thats why you would be selected. so best luck in all your nite flights and flying 130+hours per month.meenwhile I am happy to fly for a real company.:ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

flying scotsman
 

:D :D :D hello Mr Scotsman, do you have the questions for the technical exam, if so can you help me.Thanks for the posting it was very nice, and seemed very honest. I have made up my mind and interested in going.any further info you have would be great.Did you get the job with them and if so have you started already.It will be nice to be your colleague.If you dont have the questions what should I study from Atpl and airbus in particular.:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

huh??
 

When you get on, I'll teach you how to slag-off all the VFR traffic and request straight in approaches....it's a hoot!!
Good luck, eh!
terd,
how do straight-in approaches screw up VFR traffic? Are your eyes open when u fly through OMSJ CTR??? (...thats control zone, by the way). The VFR guys are pretty efficient around the terminal area and dont care if they have to hold for 5 mins...so 'hoot' all you want.

I mean come on some of you guys are making this airline sound like its based in 90210. haha so funny. cracking up reading some of that stuff.
I would just like to share my info for people who are applying to air arabia, granted you hear complaints regarding some issues but hey thats the airline world in general, no matter where you go you will always have the good side and bad side of things. And with regards to kala320 comments about discrimination i dont think thats the case with them, last i heard that they have over 40 different nationalities working for them. But its ok i understand how people get when it comes down to rejection, some just take it worse than others.
i mean kala320 sorry to hear your ride didnt go that well, but you dont have to bash an entire airline just cause of your interview experience. I guess just wasnt your day.
Overall i believe air arabia has proven itself in this region and world for a matter of fact and just take a look at all the other airlines starting up that are trying to follow in their footsteps. I think it will have a very bright future.
Good Luck to all out there.
keep it real, keep it safe :-)

Terd,

What is it with you against VFR traffic,huh?!? Is it because your flying the friendly skies in a jet? as if your the only one who can do that...you think your some kind of a superpilot now huh?!? well...can you do very tight short approach to squeeze between jumbos and vacate asap in your bus? I don't think so...

Everyone...give a round of applause to Turd for being a superpilot cause he THINKS he can slag-off VFR guys:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

"another thing i think they are just liking to employ moslem pilots, and maybe this is why they were bad with me and not the other people at the interview"

My dear ,you have not lived in the Middle East long enough for you to realise that the Gulf nationals ( The Locals ) love...Blond and green/blue eyes and non-moslem pilots.....:O

yeah right
 

"When you get on, I'll teach you how to slag-off all the VFR traffic and request straight in approaches....it's a hoot!!"

Yeah...but unfortunately someone in AA doesnt know jack:mad: about visual approaches. Thats why they got as close as 1 mile behind me when I was cleared to land on Rwy 30 at OMSJ. You guys probably need a refresher course on TCAS. The cyan, yellow and red blocks which you can see is on the TCAS...its not Tetris. :=

Be a good boy now, Terd, or mama's gonna spank yah!!! http://www.emoticons4u.com/obscene/eck05.gifhttp://www.emoticons4u.com/evil/1.gif

Pathetic !
 

When you get on, I'll teach you how to slag-off all the VFR traffic and request straight in approaches....it's a hoot!! :ugh:

This is probably completely irrelevant on this particular thread, but what is it with you TURD and VFR Traffic? Did these guys delay you far too much whilst you were enjoying your nice cool flight deck at the holding point "G" for Rwy 30 OMSJ? Did any of the newly hired cadets just piss you off badly? Or did you simply just forget that you too were a VFR trainer whilst training to be where you are NOW, enjoying your nice fat 47,000 AED pay cheque. You know you weren't born on the LEFT seat of an A320.
With the type of attitude you portray it seems like you fly the NASA space shuttle,.... when you ACTUALLY just fly an Airbus 320.
Frankly speaking, being such a Senior captain, considering the amount that you make (Ref Money in my Pocket THREAD) your professionalism resembles that of a student in flight school. :O
Perhaps you can utilise the 111,500 AED you made in February and go back to flight school be a VFR trainer, learn a thing or two and become a professional.
Defending certain individuals who blatantly transmit "surrounded by idiots" on a live Sharjah frequency and statements such as the one above just depicts what sort of people (NOT ALL) end up in the airline industry. To make things worse, here you are inviting individuals from abroad so that YOU can TEACH them how to slag off VFR traffic. :yuk: :=

In the other thread you talk about how hard people have worked to make Air Arabia where it is now. I fully agree, however I think you are just ruining it for the others.

By the way I don't think you could afford a shop on the 3rd floor of the Majestic City, kindly don't think that Colombo is such a cheap city. Try to enjoy the American Breakfast at the Taj Samudra next time, don't choke on anything.....:E

Kindly curb your enthusiasm about certain issues....:oh:

Lycan Av8tor :)

Wow
 

"When you get on, I'll teach you how to slag-off all the VFR traffic and request straight in approaches....it's a hoot!! "
Sarcasm, albeit the lowest form of wit, is apparently wasted on the weak-minded and clinically anal!
Nice work Lycan, but I can get my lectures at home!:rolleyes:

Hey turd, 'slag' this...

How is that for anal...!

If you look hard enough the letters form half a wing! HAHAHA

Dont Waste Your Time.read The Threads People Are Ill In This Aa Company.you Should Come To France And Get A Job In Carrefour AT LEAST THEY TAKE YOU EVEN IF YOU ARE UGLY.

Aa Is Not Good To Work For This Is Why I Turn Them Away From Me. They Are Desperate For Pilot.because Nobody Wanting Work For Them.send Me A Pm I Will Tell You All About Them.read My Threads They Are All True. I Think They Payed The Flying Scotsman Extra Money To Put His Thread Up, Or They Promise Him For Erly Command

KALA you really have a bad chip on your shoulder, you were unsuccessful so move on. Air Arabia is a great place to work. Its very successful, the fleet is young and about to expand rapidly after its IPO later this month. The opportunites for early command are obvious, and if you want a fantastic place to live and have fun, then Dubai is it. I don't see the downside, I'm european and its the best time I've ever had working for an airline. Gotta go jet ski awaits.

hansol
 

i do not have chip, in my shoulder, i am just tellin the truth and anywauy i dont care about your company, i am at home working for a real company, with my own language.so you get a life and watch you\dont drown.

kala320 since you dont care why are you making such a big deal about the story. and with an attitude like that no wonder the interview didnt go so well.
and someone please tell me what is with this deal of being ugly or good looking hahaha what is this? a beauty pageant? lolol we have to call donald trump for this. haha

and speaking about hollywood. i hear a myth about "Tom Kazanski" working there. thats right "iceman" ;)

Chip on the shoulder
 

:E
Dear Kala 320,

I take it English is not your first language and ASDA it is not your supermarket. The chip usually goes on top of the shoulder and not IN. If it was in your shoulder it will hurt a lot. Here is a trick to find out if you do have a chip ON your shoulder or not, Do you walk lop-sided (in French it is called DE TRAVERS )?? if you don't then congratulations :D :D you do not have a chip ON your shoulder just Pis..:mad: ..ed off !!! but if you are really serious about the chip IN your shoulder you can always get an Xray and find out. I worked last year in the UA.:mad: ..E with 5 Fren...:mad: ..ch men very nice pepole on assignment from a real company called Ai..:mad: .r...Fra..:mad: ..nce. There boss had to get a tractor to pull them back to Fra..:mad: ..nce God knows why????. Oh beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
As far as the job concern you can try EY A330 and A340 Co or Easy jet.or GF!! or perhaps QR. plenty of sunshine for everyone. Remember When one door closes another one open.

Take care and enjoy the baguette (that's long bread roll for those who do not speak French, Like me).:ok:

Apology
 

Just curious though.....other than my feebly-attempted and poorly received sarcastic statement, have I EVER made a comment on this board that was derogatory or condescending in any way to my aviation brethren to deserve the post that you directed at me? Please check my posts history under my profile and let me know. Thanks.
Cheers.


:uhoh: Hi there Terd,

Firstly thank you for the message. I appreciate the insight to the reasons for the past posts on the various threads.
Secondly I would like to Apologise for the very harsh remarks made by me on the last post on this thread. The actual intent of those posts were not known and now that they are, my remarks were uncalled for and unprofessional on my part.
The reason for defending our fellow VFR pilots against remarks directed towards us is very obvious. VFR operations in the UAE are not really welcome and seldom receive the sort of respect that counterparts elsewhere receive. Therefore when someone comes around and rubs this fact even deeper like "surrounded by idiots" and "slag off VFR", it just is uncalled for. With the added crap that we receive from "SOME ATC WATCHES" in Dubai. ( I KNOW I WILL DEFINITELY BREW UP ANOTHER STORM WITH THAT REMARK"

To stir this up even more...... Orbiting for 20 ~ 40 mins waiting for a slot IN will eventually drive people nuts. Sitting at the holding point for similar amount of time will do the same. := All this because some CAN"T and DON"T want to fit us IN.............
Hence the more crap VFR pilots will receive from certain parties the more defensive they will get.

By the way, that pilot who made the remark last time. Does he like saying stuff like "The indians are hanging inside this airplane" when he has to lose quite a significant amount of altitude on final approach, because he has done that too, and I have heard that.

Anyway, enough of that....
Take care and safe flying..

Lycan Av8tor :(
