flydubai and Emirates are owned by the same umbrella company, which is basically owned by the government. Your visa even starts with a 2 (I think) which the nice immigration lady told me means you work for the government! As we're taking on cadets later this year (who will gain hours and then have the option to stay or go to EK) your credit rating will not be an issue. As other people have said though, I would think carefully about getting lots of credit. If you ever have any problems and want to leave (for personal reaons say) you'll need to clear the debts unless you plan to do a bunk!

Cadets at Fly Dubai???
SKYWRITER 1
As we're taking on cadets later this year (who will gain hours and then have the option to stay or go to EK) your credit rating will not be an issue. I did check their website and it doesn't show anything alike, so maybe its still in the developing stages. I am about to get my FAA CPL in a couple of month's time and would greatly appreciate any information about the cadet program. I have also applied for EY's cadet program and its been about 8 months that they haven't sent out invitations yet. The reason I mention this is because EY will not entertain CPL holders and was wondering if FlyDubai is similar as well. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Rahul |
Rahul, i think you'll find that's 'Cadets', as in 'Emirati Cadets', as in 'Emirati locals' and is part of their overall Emiratisation program.
Captain N, it's possible to replace a 'lack of moaning' with apathy! |
CTC Assessment
Hello All,
I have an Flydubai interview scheduled at CTC in a couple weeks in the UK. Any updates on CTC for those who may have attended recently? Interviewing for Capt. position. Many thanks, |
CTC
Same request as above, has anyone got any info on the sim check at CTC and the initial day 1? Info is a bit thin on the ground at the moment.

Pay rise?
What's the deal with this so called pay rise? Seem to me that they have gone from a 2 tier system to a 3 tier system!!
|
Mystery Pay Rise ?
1. Any idea how much and when ?
(Minor detail omitted from the announcement!) 2. Will the increase offset the increased 'co pay' on the 'substandard' medical policy ? |
I agree YNM, it wasn't the best worded, but from what I can understand, if you joined in the last 6 months, you get nowt! Just brilliant.
|
So have Flydubai increased the salary / accommodation allowance for new Captains?
|
Nope, It looks like if you are in the company more than 6 months you get roughly 5% increase on you basic salary only!! It is not what people were expecting for a "big announcement", but then again it's better than nothing.
|
If you joined flydubai prior to 1st October 2010, you will get a pay rise.
If you joined flydubai any time from 1st October 2010 onwards you will not get a pay rise. Also, regardless of when you started, if you have been promoted (e.g. from F/O to Captain) in the period since 1st October 2010 onwards you will not get a pay rise. There is:

This actually creates four possible scales for Captains:
For arguments sake, we will call them A-D scales. Our first Captains until around September of 2009 received one scale (as did FOs), which is the A-scale. After that, there was another lower scale, which we'll call the B-Scale. This is a lower scale for FOs hired from the same time as well. The new raises only apply to folks hired before October 2010, leaving out FOs who upgraded and anyone hired after October 2010. That leaves us with the following: A-Scale A-Scale Captains who received the latest raise (A+ scale). B-Scale A-Scale FOs who upgraded and were paid the original A-Scale Captain rate. C-Scale B-Scale Captains who received the latest raise (B+ scale). D-Scale B-Scale FOs who upgraded and were paid the "unraised" B-Scale Captain rate. B-Scale Captains hired after October 2010 and all subsequent new hire DECs. The difference between the A-Scale Captain and the D-Scale Captain is roughly 77,000AED per year. The original difference between A-Scale and the original B-Scale introduced in September 2009 is 62,400AED per year. Obviously, the difference between the new scales is only about 5%, which doesn't equate to a big disparity. I don't want to offer opinion at this point. Randy |
I'll offer an opinion....IT BLOWS!!!

CTC FD Selection
Hi All,
Have selection next month in Dubai and wondered if anyone has been through recently. Do FD ask ATPL questions in the "Competency based interview"? I've trawled through previous threads including "FD Selection" but no joy. Any info greatly appreciated. Safe flights. |
