Middle East airlines flight time requirements

Hi guys

I checked out the minimum requirements for middle east / UAE airlines on their respective websites. However, I was wondering what experience is required to actually get an interview ?

If anyone here has been offered an interview in middle east / UAE, pleast post what hours you had when you applied. Please break down the hours by total time, multi time, turbine and jet time, pic time, e.t.c. Also, please indicate what specific airline and whether this was first officer or captain position.

Thanks all

Not quite.

4,000 total, including 2000 in a modern multi crew A/C over 30 tonnes.

OR

2500 in a modern multi crew, multi engined jet over 30 tonnes.

There is no PIC requirement. The main stumbler for the US regional guys is the weight requirement.

Depends on what airline you are applying at.....

At flydubai (would not recommend unless you can take a leave from current job without quitting) you could interview with around 2,000 tt, but would need some 737 time. If you are turboprop only I would say 4,000 tt with some PIC would be more realistic. RJ only guys would be somewhere in the middle of that pack. This info is just conversations with recent new hires I've flown with. As flydubai starts growing rapidly again next fall and if the forecasted mass exodus ever comes true you could see competetive times drop. However if more weak 737 operators go under all of that is out the window and competetive times could go up. Just apply where you want to work and see what happens!
