My experience with Flydubai goes back to last summer to when I interviewed with them last October. The experience started out very nice. Good communications up to the interview. Business Class Travel to and from DBX. Decent hotel with breakfast included. Transfers to and from the hotel, interview facility, and medical facility. During the few days there I met pilots from AirTran, Delta, UAL and Aloha. I do know, from e-mails, that a number of potential initial cadre crews did not accept the job offer because of inconsistencies relating to information in the T & C's outlined in their original offering, presentations by HR and executives during the actual interview, and formal contract that would have been executed. Not a good way to enter into a long term relationship.
The terms and conditions were e-mailed prior attending a short list interview for initial cadre check airmen and captains were quite generous for a start up.
There was no reference to a $25,000 training bond in their original offering. They informed us about the bond during their presentation. I told them that as a current and qualified NG check pilot that particular provision was a show stopper for me. The other lads balked at this too.
The e-mail stated that flight pay was guaranteed on an 80 hour month guaranty. In the interview they stated that this is what we could earn if we flew 80 hours a month and the exclusion of the term "IF YOU FLY 80 HOURS" was omitted by error.
Medical benefits outlined in the e-mail were far more generous than actual as presented at the meeting.
It was decided that no retirement benefits would be offered at the current.
Let me put it to you this way... I would not have wasted my time had they been honest with their T & C's.
Flydubai halted interviews shortly after I interviewed with them. Some former colleagues I flew with at my current company went to Flydubai, and feel at this time they are more forthright about their T&Cs and may have compromised on some issues since the time of my interview last October.
I would like to know how life is at Flydubai as to whether or not they are living up to their current commitments for their work force.
In any event I do wish those and their families who made the jump to Flydubai good luck and realize there are opportunities for expats elsewhere if the program does not pan out.
