Gulf Traveller, Gulf Air's new Abu Dhabi based low fare subsidiary. GulfPilot, correct me if I'm wrong but somewhere around 10,000 Dirhams ( USD 2750 ) per month to start plus housing, per diem, medical, school allowance, etc.

Certainly not a bad gig if you are furloughed and looking to have some fun and adventure as GulfPilot suggests, but I would ask what the long term prospects are for upgrade, etc. With Etihad in Abu Dhabi me thinks it's only a matter of time before they pull out of Gulf Air and then what ?

767 job

I have been trying to get on for months but no luck.....

I got an email last month (thanks but no thanks...no type rating..no job).

also tried Emirates and still swimming in the interview pool..god knows when i'll get a call.

If you can help, please drop me a line.

Many thanks

I'd give up on joining Emirates as an F.O. now. With the new Direct Entry captain hiring it is a very big gamble as to whether or not it would work out for new joiners. The present pilots should do okay, but beyond seniority number 1000 it will be a long time to the left seat.

If you don't mind the right seat it is still a good job, but don't come in with any expectations for a quick upgrade.

Yes i won't mind the right seat, but what is key to get an interview?

 

[typhoonpilot]

My personal feeling on the key to get an interview is to be typed and current on either A320/330/340 series or B737/757/767/777/747. That plus over 5000 hours total and at least 1000 on above mentioned types. If you know somebody here who you have flown with then they can write a letter of recommendation, that would also help. Update frequently and make sure that you have a good picture on the application. Also make sure your BMI ( Body Mass Index ) is within limits, especially on the application.
