I suspect that you don't work for NAS and you have a chip on your shoulder of some kind. No one with such a poor command of English would be allowed anywhere near a Flight Deck!!!

Mister Geezer, there are a lot of people in the ME who arent native English speakers, so rather than attack the poster, why dont you comment on the issues mentioned?

In response to NAScrew's post; Can anyone backup his claims about NAS not paying and engineering being unsafe?

I'm seriously considering this job flying the 190, but getting a little spooked by his comments.

Just looking for other people's experience with this company.

Thank you

Does NAS offer Captains upgrade to its FOs??Incase they do how long does it take??

tarik123 9th Oct 2008 17:52

Nas never failed to pay my salary and it is always on time.

Airplanes are brand new and still under manufacturer's warranty.

Maintenance are all very experienced.

This is the best job I ever had because of the life style it provides as
Iam on 35/31.

We do not have the horrible long night flights that starts at midnight
and finishes midday.

It took me 3 months to get clear on line, but after that I had
31 days off after every 35 days of work.

LoserInLife 9th Oct 2008 19:33

Tarik,

Thank you for the info.

Fly Ginger 9th Oct 2008 19:59

The jungle jet might be new....................

It might be covered by the manufac. warranty

Maint. might be professional..............

Some airbuses might not be as new as they once were

You might get paid on time................

You might have to sit in the office all day get to get a ticket home

I might be an idiot..................

Might...........great word, isn't it!!:E

Dagar 9th Oct 2008 21:27

Can someone plz.tell me if NAS upgrades its FOs to Captains and if so what is the time period??

wonder 10th Oct 2008 06:54

Upgrade
 
All middle east airlines (with no exception) upgrade their FO's based on who you know, nationality, etc. Forget seniority and/or performance. Personal relationship is a key in the middle east.

Think twice before you jump ship.

Fly Ginger 11th Oct 2008 07:14

In my humble opinion, i would ask around in the company as to how many people have been upgraded in the last few years..............

Might take you a while:E

Dagar 11th Oct 2008 09:03

do they provide accomodation in Expat compounds for the family??

LoserInLife 11th Oct 2008 14:05

Anyone have experience dealing with FlightCrew Solutions? I'm attempting to get a contract with NAS through them, but something seems a little off with their recruiters.

Thank you

BadAndy 11th Oct 2008 14:56

LoserInLife,

PM me or better (as I often forget to check my PMs...) shoot me an email. I'm interested to hear your experiences with them. I want to hear if they're similar to mine...

Bad-Andy

metro301 11th Oct 2008 20:14

Fly Ginger, in their defense, I think they only started operating within the last year. So not much time to upgrade anyone.

Fly Ginger 12th Oct 2008 13:09

No, as a company they have been flying for three years (kayala), the loco side is newer, but the planned expansion plans mean that whatever you are told as an FO, they will always take DEC's. Clear financial sense. I am a good few years away yet so as not to worry too much, but it will shape my decision eventually.

EMB might be a little different in a while, but again, DEC's will trump any FO here for a good while yet.

The real spanner in the works is that the company has stated that it will not even consider upgrades in the future unless you are on a full time contract. Most of the expats work here for the salary and the time off. Nothing more. To me that shows the direction the company is now taking.

Please forgive me for my personal interpretation of the situation, i would like to stand correted, however, i 'm not so sure that i will.

Now then.................Fly Ginger:hmm:

metro301 12th Oct 2008 17:13

Forgot about the other side of the flying. You are correct.
