Flight deck positions at FlyDubai Master Thread - Merged
Just heard about aircrafts orders from Fludubai: about 54 Boeing planes.:)
Any idea about the type (B737NG?!) and pilots requirements? Thks. |
FlyDubai
On Flight International.
Order of 54 Boeing 737NG, CFM 56 engines, deliveries to start on May 2009. No more info on pilots recruitement. Cheers |
Is it possible it was FlyDubai?
|
Yes indeed, it's for FLYDUBAI, 54 737-800 NG's for the new Low cost outfit based in Dubai.
Heard it confirmed also on radio 2 just now.:) |
Just saw the add , only pilots and cabin crew with up to date vaccination certificates can apply.
|
Does anyone have FlyDubai's address , website or address available ? Thank you
|
|
Shall I understand the minimum requirements are same as for Emirates ? 2000 hours jet to be FO on 737 ???
|
FLUDUBAI , the new low cost carrier in exciting Dubai is seeking healthy Flight Deck Crew and Cabin Crew , with strong immune systems to tackle the daily stresses that this exciting new position offers. Crew Members with current Vaccination certificates will be given preference. We are also seeking Qualified Doctors and Nurses to help passengers and staff in this infectious enviroment.
|
It is quite surprising that flydubai choosed to purchase 737 planes while others low cost concurrents have choosen the 320 ( air arabia , jazeera...)

FlyDubai colours
I'm loving the livery! Clean, fresh, & simple - doesn't seem to be any Arabic on the body. I'm not a fan of mix 'n matching languages.[/color][/size] :ok:
http://www.flydubai.com/images/flydubai_plane_v2.jpg [size=3][color=Blue]alpha-b, are you able to change the spelling of 'FluDubai' on the thread title? otherwise it'll make it hard for people doing searches. |
Think you'll find that 73NG has much lower maintenance costs compared to the A-320 series. The latter has better fuel burns of course, but maybe the price of fuel is not relevant to the Dubai government.
Paint scheme does look good. Is the base going to be the current DXB or the new airport? |
heard as a fact that the current DXB airport will become a Shopping Mall or something similar when the new airport will start running... |
The summer heat is getting to Monkeyface, or they had too many beers!
Calm down EGGW |
No - Space City for the SpaceDubai launches
|
Heard a rumour that recent interview candidates for EK were told that the successful ones would be joining either EK or FlyDubai. Also something about upgrades being on FlyDubai only. Can anyone confirm that?
|
The official line here is still that Fly Dubai will be a completely seperate entity. But who knows how it will work out in the end? I expect the crews will be the last people to find out.

MonkeyFace
He didn't say he didn't like Arabic. He said he wasn't a fan of mix 'n' matching languages. Your profile says you're six years old. I believe you. So, back to the trees for you, chimp! |
MONKEYFACE,
If you're not a complete idiot, then you probably fooled most readers into believing that's the case I'd think following your world-class record-beating effort at simulating one with your post of the following bit of xenophobic racist nonsense: Monkeyface's naught post was edited |
Its now a fact that EK 777 FO´s will do their upgrade on FlyDubai 737.
|
fo4ever- Where did you get that 'fact' from?
|
Monkeyface has left the building!
|
maybe its a lack of sleep
maybe its a lack of sleep from flying back from deepest Africa all night but i couldnt find anything on the emirates website for FlyDubai flight crew. any links/email address/contacts would be appreciated.
|
Even with more attractive lease-rates on offered from Airbus, the B737NG is cheaper to operate. This told to me last week by a Wall Street analyst.
TIFWIW. |
mirdif, you are joking right?
|
Lots of mechanical linkages? ooooookayyyy. :rolleyes:
|
hogwash
Quote: Its now a fact that EK 777 FO´s will do their upgrade on FlyDubai 737.
FO4EVER Complete, utter and universal hogwash. Hard rule: No drink before email or pprune post, understand?? Why don't you go to EGHQ, take the lift to 9th floor, look for the FlyDubai project office and have a chat with Ken Gile - the COO? He might even talk to you. :suspect: |
C'mom boys give mirdif a break. He probably hasn't been to Phoenix or Tucson, Arizona in the summer when it's 40-48C everyday. Or Denver at almost 6000 ft. when it's 38-40C. I just keep forgetting that Southwest has to shut down for days at a time because their, what, 300+ 737s can't operate or have problems with "linkage". Or how about Copa in Panama that regularly flies into 8000 foot airports on 40c days near the equator.
Geez! |
FlyforDubai
Does anyone have any information regarding FlyforDubai? Their website says to apply via emirates website. But the emirates website does not have any special section for them on the application or otherwise.
I was told they were to start in June-July of 2009 after having placed a big order for the B737NG (54). Emirates is supposed to get them set up and then they will be on their own. |
It's actually called 'Fly Dubai'. Sorry did not see any link either to job applications.
|
:confused:It appears that you have to apply as though you are applying for a job at Emirates and you are screened through the process. As it stands the requirements for Capts and F/O's are the same as Emirates. If you don't meet the mins (8000 hrs with 3000 PIC for Capts) you will get an automated response telling you to apply again when you meet the requirements. Unless they tweak the program where there is some link or place on the app to put in FlyDubai, you are basically completing an Emirates App. I think that they will be tailoring an app for FlyDubai in the near future or screen applicants from the Emirates side.
It will be interesting to see what the pay package and T&C are like. If they are somewhat similar FlyDubai might be a better place to hang your hat. You would be home more often without having to pass through numerous time zones etc etc... Ofcourse no wide-body flying. |
FlyDubai = Emirates Pay
Salary per month Value in AED
Basic salary 25,000 Housing allowance 16,000 Transportation allowance 4,000 Variable Flying Pay * (based on working an 80 hour month) 12,000 Projected Total 57,000 ....and I thought the whole concept of LLC was to have low overheads.... OH! Hang on.... does that mean EK is actually paying me a LOW COST salary... but they told us about bench marks and all the fancy words. So now we can say we are the FIRST low cost A380 operator... and we all know how important it is to be FIRST in everything :8 |
and I thought the whole concept of LLC was to have low overheads Southwest have some of the best paid pilots in the world. FlyDubai are going to require a shed-load of experienced, type rated pilots. Why wouldn't they pay what was required to get them? After all, EK has obviously paid enough to attract and retain you.... |
If you think Fly Dubai is better than EK than all the power to you , have fun, but down keep talking about it or bitching about it.You want LCC its yours for the taking. They did have to some how be better than AA, im sure that was their goal.
|
Im here to testify that AA will be kicking some of that fly dubai Azzzzz for sho!
|
Whats AA?
Whats AA? New airline? Where.
cheers |
AA= Air Arabia, 320 LC operator been around a few years now and doing well for themselves.
|
Air Arabia rocks!
|
Oh Ok..
Oh Ok, totally different fleet though.
How does the pay compare in air arabia to fly dubai, considering a 80 hours roster. Also the base being sharjah, how is life there? |
Wizzfoz... dubai property market and kite surfing is what is keeping me.
Fatboy... you need new reading glasses. I wasnt saying I WANT LLC. I was commenting on we already are paid LLC wages. Get it now?:{ |
