Oops...I needed to read on. Some good info on FlyDubai from previous posters. Some might argue about the degree of ragged work. I contend the schedules are terrible...the 75-80 hour work month at FlyDubai is worse than any 90-95 hour month in the States due to the amount of night flying. UAE rules permit you to fly 10 hours at night with 2 pilots. There are times you will fly 3 deep nights in a row, have a 1.5 day off and turn to early mornings. Schedule is very sporadic. Must say, fient of heart should not apply...logging more combat time that I did in military. However, pay is good and captain upgrade is possible...but taking longer now...perhaps 2-3 years.
