Should US majors follow Emirates lead?

Brown, did you just get removed from the pool....??? I'm sorry, keep up the great posting on FI though. Love it.

Isn't a DC-9 less than 55 tonne?

If 55 tonnes = 110,000 pounds, then no. The -50 is heavier than that at max take-off weight.

1 Tonne equals 1000 kilograms equals 2204 pounds.

Someone from Emirates HR probably found this board and decided to do everything they could to avoid hiring Instructordude

This will work great while no one else is hiring, including Em Rats. When there is any other option no one in their right mind would work for these rag head bastards

I see the feeble mind thing is already happening. Perhaps you should cut down on greasy foods.

" 1 Tonne equals 1000 kilograms equals 2204 pounds."

Go get a job flying a big jet over the weight requirement. Then you would be qualified.

Yeah, but what if you're black and the man's holding you down and won't train you to pass?

How many people don't qualify because they don't know what a Tonne is?

" ... hiring mins to require time in a/c over 55 tonnes? "

Negro please...You don't even know what "tonnes" means, now do you?

Moderator,

Come on your gonna leave this piece of trash on here and later in the posts there's another guy talking about "picking cotton."

This site has always had a bad reputation but this is really bad. Clean it up.

 

[hockeypilot44]

I should have googled "tonne" before typing.

The TOGW for the DC9-30 100,000, DC9-40 110,000, DC9-50 121,000.
