youre right - I bet staying awake at Falcon is pretty tough too!!

Paddle: You are right on the money. What you say is completely true. The reason these guys are hired is because the chief pilot is in fact one of those you refer to also. I guess if you're that 'inexperienced and incompetent' it would be nice to have some company eh! Unfortunately the guy has single handedly destroyed the morale at the company as well. It has been a great job for a lot of guys but times have changed. Still...maybe a change for the better could be afoot? How slow can the 1900 fly asymmetric again???

somewhere between red line and blue line or does it depend on whos sitting in the jump seat? more to the point or whos in the front two seats.
|
Heard that they might be needing some more people due to new rest requirement regs which are coming in to effect but, was also told that if/when they get the 2nd ATR, that they might even have to get rid of some guys ... one or two!! :eek: .........maybe some of those useless ones! :p
ps did they get the first ATR going yet :rolleyes: |
Paddle: Nah don't believe they need any extra's to cover those new regs. At the most I understand 'Captain's Discretion' is going to be required to complete a flight...captain's are all a chipper bunch though so should be no worries. Can confirm the first ATR is online, still with wet leased Captains. Heard that the skippers prefer it if the FO's they're working with leave everything alone in the cockpit?! Can't believe that....shocking CRM. Then again they could have their reasons?
Had a good CRM in Satwa a couple of weeks ago. WeeWilly: You sound remarkably well informed?! There sure is more to flying than dodging clouds, for example landing in a crosswind! |
What second ATR???
Latest story is that the first one may be returned due to Lessor and Finacier insurance problems..... Something about Middle East being a warzone... a little further East perhaps?? |
you bet tonto i like to keep my finger on "the pulse"
|
I see the fallout from the Kashmir has reach the UAE already.:cool:
|
Ravensdale: Nah you don't have to go any further East than DXB to find a warzone! Got a good mate there...Lower Shk.Z Rd fella...u should see his place the morning after an average night off!!!
|
Yip - he was in good form last night too!!! :D :D
There are still some good times here:D :D |
Does anyone have contact information for Falcon Express Cargo, or does anyone know anyone in the Corporate Relations department? Any help will be appreciated.
|
"Corporate Relations Department" ????
|
I've been trying to contact them for a while, the best bet is directly by phone, head office is in Dubai
|
What exactly does a "corporate relations department" do for a company in question?
Negotiate salary, improve moral? Initiate new training plans and ideologies for the crew to keep them updated and up to speed? Nah! |
The what department :confused: ? I doubt anyone at Falcon Express would know what you meant!
Looking for a job are you? |
I actually made a mistake, I meant Corporate Communications. This department usually handles the press etc...
|
I have a business card from ther DFO, does that count?
|
Were you given the card at night??:D
If so, you will probably be given the DCM treatment:cool: Don't miss the 1900C's :eek: |
Getting employed at Falcon
Aside from all the negative posts about the company, if someone where interested in persueing employment at Falcon, what is the typical process? If an interview is involved, who pays the plane ticket? What about conversions? What's the Pay scale? Any specifics might help one determine whether or not it's worth a shot.
Thanks |
Well it was fortunate before posting this reply Joe Co that I decided to read 'Living costs in Dubai' as I was about to give you the full run down on FECA. I have a few friends flying for them now and though moral has been down it is starting on the up and I don't think your attitude would go down at all well within the company, infact it is the last thing the company or any company needs, I don't think you would even last the walk out to C8.
The only advice I can give you Joe Co is stay off those drugs and get your mind straight 'higher is not always better' :mad: |
