Would I stand a chance getting a job anywhere in the Gulf with a JAA frozen ATPL ME IR(H) and little more than 1000 piston hours?
Send them a application, and You will know!?

Update on ADA

It's been 5 years since I did some flying for ADA. I'm thinking of maybe going back. Can someone tell me how things are going there right now. Any change with the accomadations? How's the managment and how's the pay?

New accommodation under construction - MUCH further out than the cr*p vans.

New pay rise - pay still cr*p.

Bill Lee good - upper management still cr*p

My understanding is that the numbers still stand but most of the positions will be filled by UAE Nationals which will of course limit the number of Expats required for the program.

Red face Struggle!

Seems to be the word around the traps-just remember those who are kept in the dark are always the last to see the light

Ada Sar

I see they now include SAR on their website and are asking for SAR Captains.

Has anyone worked for these guys?

What are they like etc etc?

Is it a good deal.

Regards

Ada Sar

Spinwing

After your post I decided to trawl through the whole thread which has made for some interesting reading and explains your post.

It is interesting though that ADA has not been slagged off for quite a while, so I wonder if things have changed.

Any idea how many SAR Guys they require?

Regards
