I'd suggest to keep checking their website for the non-typed assessments, as often as you can. They had a few available early November, but they sure went fast.

Don't give up. They're backed up in the school house now, but they'll keep needing pilots for a while.

Thanks Vortac!
I check several Times a day.
Didn't see anything early november,the spots probably filled up within minutes...
I just need more luck I guess.

Peackocks dead ahead...! Allegedly a double peacock strike during takeoff at Mattala, an airport know for wandering wildlife. Each engine took one peacock down the bypass section and ruined the inlet cowl and fan. Also heard some things about brakes/tyres etc associated with a heavy, high speed RTO. Plane was full allegedly. A spare aircraft was dispatched to Mattala with parts and half a dozen mechanics to get it repaired.

Something to add to the briefing dor Mattala then. Anyways, an interesting scenario and something to talk about during a non-alcoholic drink afterwards. :)

Thanks for reply.

My status is "waiting to be reviewed" for 54 days now.

Query
 

Would a pilot with 1500 TT 500 Multi engine and frozen ATPL be considered at all? They take cadets and type rated pilots, is there a place for someone with my experience there?

From their careers website...

First Officers (Non Type Rated)

At least 2,500 hours total flying time.
At least 1,000 hours on modern (EFIS), multi-crew, multi-engine aircraft over 10 tonnes operating weight (preference will be given to those with PIC time).

I'd still apply and find out.

Since when are we operating to HOF in Saudi? It popped-up together with a BAH rotation on the PBS triplist for FEB. No mention of it in OM-C either.

New destination announced on Monday. Twice weekly to begin with. Already served by Air Arabia.

Hmmm, I check all relevant news sites daily so weird I've missed it. Have you got any link? How do they find these places?! :ok:

Doing the math on the just released seniority list (versus the one from the year before), reveals that in 2013:

• Quit the company = 16
• Recruited = 157
• Current pilots of all ranks = 503

FZ has been operating flights for 4½ years and presently operates 35 x B737-800. The 36th aircraft arrives in mid-Feb.

Hey, don't Hassle the HOF!


Alright, hat, coat, leaving…..:rolleyes:

Passed selection and interview.
 

Is there anyone on these boards with direct insight into recruitment? My Dubai interview was early September 2013. I got the good letter a couple weeks after. The entire time they said our class would be targeted for May/June of 2014. I decided to make the call to recruitment coordinator. I am not sure if we understood each other properly, but it sounded like September 2014 is the new target date.

I suppose if you are NTR and do not have a class date at this point, the offer can not be counted on. That is the sense I am getting here.

I just heard november as non T/R Commander

That is a lot of time for a lot of things to change.

FZ B1 Engineer
 

Hey guys was wondering if anyone of you knew what the pay for Engineers is for a b1 certifying engineer and what benefits(housing allowance,flight benefits and medical) come with that job i know this is a flight deck topic but if any of you fz guys have any info would be much appreciated thanks

When did you have your final interview Twin?

Interesting article on flydubai and Wizz Air.

Link

Also mentions flydubai is interested in flying to Lviv, Ukraine.

Lviv might fit the profile, but there was a separate article that said Air Arabia was to start service there and flydubai would serve Dnipropetrovsk. However FZ scrapped the service to DNK and added a second Kiev flight, probably to compete with Wizz. Flydubai's business plan revolves around serving markets where LCCs already exsist:ugh:

I'm happy I can pronounce these places, let alone spell them correctly! :D

I hope that you guys know about TIBA procedures for the smaller airports in Saudi?
