Pros & Cons of Working for Air Arabia
I have read a few of the older posts about Air Arabia and I wanted some updated information. I am thinking about applying but I want to gather more information before putting forth the effort.
Can anyone familiar with Air Arabia list some pros and cons of working there? Good place to be? I realize its pay package does not equal EK's. Do expat pilots at Air Arabia generally stay for awhile or do they move on to EK or return to their home-country airlines? Cheers PMs are welcome. |
AirArabia pros and cons
Hi; I don't have much time now, Quick and dirty:
Pros: Nice salary Friendly internationally atmosphere UAE living Long leave Cons: Chaotic organization, specially in training. ROASTER this is the big one; no pattern at all, hard to get more than 3 days off in a row. Continuous and unexpected changes, most of them with very short notice, many times asking to fly on days off. People do not last more than 2 years in AA No changes ahoy. Good luck! |
Move on
Hello G.M
What about if you wanna move to Etihad eitheir Emirates? Is it possible? |
Hi Iver; In the contract is written that the employee can't work in any other company in the UAE within a year after leaving AA. although I've seen guys going to Ethihad and Emirates right after leaving AA (!?)
Maybe someone else can put some light in the subject. Regards |
Hi Iver, I just learned that that clause on the contract has been recently implemented, the pilots migrating to Ethihad and Emirates have a different contract. They have changed the contract seeing the amount of pilots leaving.
Regards. |
