A little bird tells me that Betts are doing their recruiting. I believe a poor unsuspecting HoT has been found (French or Swiss I think). They are still looking for a CFI, unless blackheart chooses to do that himself as well.
The guys are all still as happy as ever

Dipboss.
Sorry for the delay, have been drinking beer in far lovelier climes.
Word has it, from good sources, that Blackheart used his wasta with the GCAA to get the old CFI 'blackbanned' from working in the UAE in any aviation role that has dealings with the GCAA. He was in the process of finalising employment with another UAE company, but has now been canned due to non-approval from the regulatory organisation, GCAA. I hope the old CFI enjoys a different heat now!
Different sources have mentioned the interesting way Blackheart's 'qualifications' have been obtained, interestingly the same names are mentioned in both discussions....
Oh well, back to life here...

Thanks for the info - It looks like Mr Blackheart is now totally out of control - I understand he has also sacked a number of the locally engaged staff from Receptionists, Administration Managers and PR as well as not renewing the contracts of the more experienced expatriate Horizon Pilots. It would also appear that he has engaged a number of his slimy mates.
A timely warning for those considering employment at Horizon and those who may be considering using Horizon for training their pilots.

Jealous, I tell you, my mate is out there flying, and hates it, claims to get no respect from the locals flying for the same company!
I would give my left B*****k to stay at that Hotel, and have a few weeks in the sun.

Just looked up the hotel on Expedia -- assuming it is indeed the same Burj el Arab, you can get a cheap room for $680.75 a night, and a decent room for $953.05 and a top-of-the line suite for around $2400 a night. Dunno if that includes the continental breakfast or not.
Round-trip flight will add a bit, and I'm not sure if SouthWest or EasyJet goes there.
So whose organizing the Dubai Bash then?

He's fixed wing with a large carrier, he's back next month after about two years.
Thats the main reason he's has enough, or that the reason he's giving me anyway!

The hotel featured in Getaway on TV this week, here. Apparently the rooms/suites start at $2400 a night, they weren't able to get the expensive $20k+ units 'cos they were all booked out for the next fortnight!!!!
FL, time for another holiday, methinks

Mmmmm.... my how the place has changed since I first went to work there in 1980 !!!
Then there were NO traffic jams or gridlock. You could find your way around the place easily .....
NOW ... well its sort of like a cross between downtown Mumbai (Bombay) and Disneyland ...

Does anyone here know the weight/operating limits for the helipad on the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai?
Thanks in advance for any information.
