So new captains will not fly nights to Russia or moons on season in India ? That is written down the at they will not be doing this till they have experience? I thought DECs were experienced? If the company has so many FOs with experience why are they now hiring DECs? It looks like if you join as an FO you will never upgrade in flydubai. So you are now assured of 3 preferred days off a month?

transport jock

Because I know how much you love flydubai. I want to highlight all the rubbish you talk about pro company.At the end of the day it is a dangerous airline. It has had 1 hull loss and nearly a second in its 12 year history. I want to highlight this to new guys. My best advise is to pick up the phone of someone you know and call a current flydubai pilot. None of my friends in flydubai recommend joining. They have learned nothing from their mistakes in FZ.

Yes new captains will still fly these routes but less so because high seniority pilots will share the load. New captains will not be as fatigued by flying a lot of night duties. It's not written down, it's part of the fair assignment roster which was implemented. FO upgrades will start soon and you will upgrade in time.
Days off is seniority based so you're not guaranteed them. It feels as if you're clutching at straws here.. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Prospective joiners.. Please don't listen to this guy. He obviously has some beef with the company and is trying to bad mouth it.

here are the facts!

Was the missile test part of the online assessment? Struggling with my track pad when practicing for this test.

BS… FZ is good job. Been here for a couple years, no complains at all. My advice to anyone willing to come to middle east is, beware that rules and benefits are always changing, bear in mind no Unions, associations whatsoever, if you put this in your head, you ll be happy here, if not, you gonna end up on social media trying to blame the company for your unhappiness.

Thanks!

Hello Guys , l
Can anyone help me regarding the online aptitude test as to how to go about it, I got just 3 more days to finish the assessment . Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you. Cheers. "

So it seems that you will get the interview link only if you reach a minimum score at the aptitude tests.
any confirmation about it?

Yes it appears this way . IF you do not get an interview link in a few hours , you failed the test

EK has had a hull loss and it almost happened again recently if it weren't for an instructor in the jumpseat shouting thrust. Are they an unsafe airline?

Any tips on the video interview they have sent? Which kind of questions are they asking

Just completed the online test and got the video interview link about 10 minutes afterwards. Any information about the questions asked during the Video Interview? Thanks!

Hello Sandson. Any input on the online assessment test. Can the test be done on an iPad. And how is the
difficulty level please. Thanks.

Hi all,

Great to see some recruitment happening around the world. I am a redundant 737 left seat driver.

Applied for DEC and within 5 hours invite to aptitude tests. 10 mins after submitting aptitude test invite to Video Interview.

I would much appreciate some information on the questions asked during video interview.

Many thanks (Look forward to shouting you a drink)

The online test is not as difficult as the LPJ one, specially the "complex control" which is the Missile Test. In regards to the ipad i really don't know. i did it in my pc to avoid compatibility problems

Hi. Any guidance on how to prepare for the tests? Cheers. Any help would be appreciated.

sandson

Many thanks sir. Most certainly appreciate your reply.

It is really 3 questions with 3 min for your answers. Easy peasy.
The questions are always the same: why FlyDubai? Why pilot? Something about CRM.

Nazdarovye

Emirates operate something like 400 wide body aircraft. Compare flydubai to and -100 fleet in a 3rd world country and it’s up there with lion air per movement. Compare it to any other Middle Eastern low cost carrier? by all means join, just to let you know you have been warned.

Or this that never made any papers! As I say ask current pilots, search carefully. Look at the previous posts from transport jock and his hyenas all about flydubai and recruitment agenda.

Desertboki

We get the message. Can we leave it now?

Er no because this is an open pilot forum and alternate views are available. Not least to probably warn futilely that fz is a toxic airline with a less than impressive safety record managed by some Olympic level sociopaths who all in their own way contributed to the tragic aforementioned hull loss. Still, none so blind etc. Personally I would rather drive an HGV than work for those muppets again.

Desertboki

and why should care about something I never lived, and why new joiners should care about things that’s no longer happens? Tell me? Living in the past it’s gonna make u depressive my friend.

FZ has pros and cons like any other airline.

Current pay figures for Captain is 11200US$ fixed allowance + 54US$ for every block hour flown + 2.4US$/hr layover allowance.

Current FO pay figures is 8200US$ + 36.5 US$/ block hour flown + 2.4US$/hr for layovers.

These are reflective of the deductions all the crew are currently facing which looks like is here to stay.

The rosters are currently a mix of day/night trips with anywhere between 1-4 layovers and an average of 11-13days off. Monthly average hours flown has been gradually going up from 40-50/month in peak summer to almost 60-70 at the moment.

The company has canceled all the forced unpaid leave for all the flight crew from 2022 and hiring is expected to be in full swing according to the desk riders.

I heard about applicant number for FZ, over 20,000 applicant for DEC and FO, is that true guys? Amazing number, it show how bad is the industry and it’ll take many years to recover unfortunately :(

It is possible, they were looking for Non Rated and rated applicants, the questions is how many of them are current and rated on 737NG...and if these applicants will have priority over non rated ones or not...

Turbulence or whatever your name is you could not be more wrong about me. Apart from the fact I have been married for decades and never repeat never have anything to do with social media let alone denigrate my SO on aforesaid medium. Just because you don’t like hearing the facts you resort to insults hiding in traditional cowardly fashion behind your keyboard. It beggars belief that one can make wildly inaccurate assumptions about people when in reality it is a failure to recognise the truth. I certainly left fz a long time ago but recognise the chaos, incompetence and malevolence which ultimately led to many innocent people losing their lives. If you want to work for them, feel free, I let go a long time ago but I don’t forget. Deal with it. I won’t be replying to any more of your puerile drivel.

Thanks Bettigio. Is there any deadline to submit those 3 answers by any chance. Trying to work out logistics here.
Thanks.

From a personal experience of working at FZ for many years, I happen to agree with Desertboki and olster. The most toxic company I have ever worked for. The cabin crew and fellow pilots were awesome.

Any info about the allowance for schooling? Either pre or post COVID works.

Thanks what to do. I agree ref fellow pilots and crew, a very good bunch. Fz also wins my gold medal for toxicity. I have only contributed here to enlighten the unwary but deaf ears I guess. Cheers.

what-to-do

Me too what to do, when I worked there I made many friends, the crew are awesome people. I still have lots of friends working there. The company itself is toxic and the scudule will lead you to an early grave as they have got rid of AIMs. Does anyone else think turbulence FL360 and transport jock are the same person. Lol . Another posters on all things flydubai hehe. I would love to hear old king coals take on the company.

Does anybody know after the video interview what there will be next?
I completed it 2 days ago waiting for what is coming next

What after video interview? How much time it takes for next round? Does the video recording interview email confirms successfully cleared aptitude test??
