Thanks

hello everybody!
I have applied for UAE and was told they have stoped hiring for several months.

GF Psychometric test
 

Anybody knows where I can take a Psychometic Assessement test ??
I know Oxford gives out a three day course with all kind of testings, including the Psychometric test but they don't administer it separately.
GF requires one. It could even be an old one.
I took one with my current airline, but they won't give me my results, stating it is the company's property now.
GF provided 4 differents companies that offer the test, but no luck with them.
DLR Hamburg/Parc aviation/Oxford and British Aerospace.

Thanks

LAter..

For GF, go to their website www.gulfairco.com and do it.

Any chance of Gulf Air recruiting non B-767 rated pilots for their B-767 fleet? I believe they have complete transition training facilities at their training centre at Doha.
Any info on this will be welcome.

Mondial,

Do I smell something here..........???:confused: :confused:

i would not go to interview until i had more information. they really want me to work there. i have 12000+ hours, 1600+ as a 767 training line check Captain. they kept emailing mailing answers to my questions. i heard enough and told them i was not interested.
i dont know who would be interested. with the cost on living in Abu Dhabi and the low pay. from what i have heard the working condition are not the good.


good luck

You guys must be really desperate. Please read a bit more about GF here in the ME forum. GF.....don't go there.
We left GF about 2 weeks ago after working for them for 3 years.
Routes are dreadfull, politics ( who you know not what you know) is terrible but most of all, 80 % of management are liars.
For those who had to move to AUH the VPO Hameed Ali stated during a meeting in front of approx 50 pilots and/or their wifes: " Your lifestyle won't be changed!!!!" Well I do not know how he sees it but moving from a 4 bedroom private villa with private garden and swimingpool,to a 2 bedroom appartment to me is a change of lifestyle. but as long as it doesn't effect them.....as long as they can fill their pockets.....
Still feel upset about the way the VPO and his clan have been dealing with their colleagues, and this is the least to say...

Some figures: more than 50 percent of new hires leaves within the first year.

Hopefully Mr. Hill will get a chance to change this extemely disturbing "management". (read mob)
I must add that there are very nice and decent managers, but they are overpowered by the bad ones.

To our dear friends/ex-colleagues out there: Jan is now employed by a dutch airline, he is very happy.
They are expanding, interesting routes (e.g. Dutch antilles) with decent stopovers ( 2 to 3 days) etc. etc.
They are looking for 767 rated cpts, do not know about fo's. Ofcourse you must be entiteled to live and work in the EC.
If you are interested, mail me at [email protected] this address still works.

Best of luck to all of you. Please remember: you cannot trust Gulf Air, you will have rights in the ME, but GF won't allow you to "use" them. They will only (ab)use you!!!

Brgrds, Tanya

gulf air interview
 

i have an interview coming up with gf for the 767. could anyone give me any useful info on the interview process. please dont don't use this as a reason to bag gf.

Hi, it might be helpful to know which seat you are looking at. LHS or RHS? Let us know and maybe I can give some advice. No slagging here...

It was a very easy going interview.
It lasted about 45 min to an hour.
I went in as an FO.
First you fill in an application while you wait for your turn and while they have a look at your logbooks.
Once in the room, you are met with 2 pilots and an HR person.
General talk about the company, plans, etc..
Then they each ask you questions.
Some tech questions. Very brief answers, no details.
(Mine were about Equipt Cooling/RVSM/LVP/Stabilized Approach)
Some general questions.
(Why Gulf Air ? How do you think you are going to adapt to the Middle East living ?, Tell us about yourself from your first flight til today. etc...)
No sim/No written quizz. Very short and sweet..
Overall a very straightforward and non confrontational interview.

They will probably hire you if you show up. They are very short and in need of crews.
You shouldn't have any problems. They have hired some Dic--Heads but they are gone !!! :ok:
If you want a job you got it.....

Welcome to Gulf Air/Traveller....

Later :cool:

ntm, cheers for taking the time to give me some info. i'm interviewing for an f/o position. rgds

Thank you for you help,
Spanish

Hi there,

They come back to me after 3 week of my onlline application; the interview will be in october.

Question about Gulf Air
 

Hi everyone..........I tried to update my CV on my online application and it says I can't because my application is under review and that I will be contacted by someone soon.............but it has been like this for about 2 weeks............can anybody tell me if they had the same thing happen to them and how long was it before GF contacted them..........Cheers.

737-700pilot : Be patient! It will take between 2 weeks to 2 months. A friend of mine had to wait 1 month before he received a e-mail for the interview! They have more than 2000 applications! including yours:D :D :D

The sniper system is very complex.......but it works if you meet the requierements:} if not :{

Just asking; about how many empty seats are available for this 2000 aplicants?:hmm:

Deske 1 : approx 60 for the A320 and 16 for the 767.......

Why do you state "non-rated" interview?

Is there a different interview process if you are rated? Just curious that's all.

F.k.a. : so far as I know we are talking about "non type rated" interview?!?!?! So I dont' know about "type rated" interview;) ;) ;)

Experience Level
 

Hey Picobello...thanks for all the info. Do you work for GF. I was reading some of the responses from people that that got interviews with GF. Alot of them have heavy turbo-prop time. Are they looking for guys with relatively low experience or guys with high time. Their web page shows pretty low experience required. Is that a base line or are they concentrating on guy's with high time first. Because I have about 7000hours and typed previous on A340/A320......Cheers any info would be great. I hope we all get interviewed........best of luck to all.

737700 Check your PM

Gulf Air
 

Anyone know how religious Gulf Air are re their requirement for experience on a type over 12500kg? Would 11999 kg be ok?

Can't remember exactly of a few other guys, but I know one or two guys from my interview group who got hired with Beech 1900 hours, so I guess you can never be too far off.

Good luck and see ya in the desert soon.:8

I just don't get it.
I answered yes to all the questions about hours on A/C with over 12500 kgs and I still got an answer that I'm not qualified.
What the heck are they looking for, pilots with no experience with jet/heavy A/C?

Gulf Air FO's with family. How do you like it?
 

Hi guys, can you please tell me how you like it with family in Bahrain on Gulf Air T+C's?

Happy or regrets?

Gulf Air hours when joining

So, with what kind of hours do you get an invite from GF.

Thanks JB
