While I don't work for Emirates, I am pretty positive that the new hires are not started as cruise pilots, but rather as normal Fo. The longer flights obviously have augmented crews, but duties are usually split up evenly.
I think that when you consider flight pay they average $ 2000-2500 per month....on top of that accommodation and insurance plus zero taxes....so it is probably consistent with international airlines?
I have many friends from Spain, Greece, France, Asian etc...and most like it. You hear some...
Does seem to be a strong case for some type of terrorism, and they are looking at the 2 stolen passports and who was really using them. It is hard to imagine a scenario wheee the plane could just vanish..no distress call, no acars messages etc..
If any of that article is true...and no doubt part of it is, Far be it from me to try and defend.
However in my year here I must say the job has been enjoyable. It has its challenges, yes, but what doesn't? After spending a number of years as widebody Captain, and making over 200k per year, the...
I have spent fair amount of time in Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar , and Abu Dhabi.
There is no comparison whatsoever between the first and the last!(except sand)
Lots of expats, beer and whatever else you want.....lifestyle is honestly not bad!
Yeah the Saudi's still do public beheadings......I for one don't want to to test the waters, although I agree many other really bad places including Africa.
The hotel scenario in Saudi is potentially an issue. When World declared chapter 11 last year I was quite nervous as I had about a 5000 hotel bill in Riyadh. I started paying every day just to not let that happen again. Thankfully the credit card has not ever failed but if it did Saudi would...
Dont know if its true, but rumors I have heard are that Atlas is getting the 777 of Southern's? Can anybody comfirm or deny. If that is true that would be a huge blow.
Gotta love Hedge funds!
It has been years since I've dealt with this...
What is required for a foreign commercial pilot to get a FAA private certificate?
With an instrument rating??
I seem to remember being able to go to fsdo and they would issue private although not sure about instrument rating
I was wondering if anyone knows a cheap way to get from DEN to the State Police Academy where they do recurrent FFDO training...Seems like a long ways in normal taxi.
There seems to be several departments involved...one recommends hiring you another approves it, and another sends a contract. They only have about 1800 pilots I believe and have plans on hiring 750 this year....I cant imagine how chaotic it must be there. They had several airlines that went...
Did an interview there last month...got to fly the 787 Simulator which was an experience.
Like the article says they are years behind Emirates and Dubai, but going full out to catch up. Found it interesting that they were named airline of the year, for 2011.
I totally understand, and dont blame them for not bringing over spouses ect....
However I have spent years flying in and out of that area but it complicates things greatly when your wife sees it for the first time and says..OH hell No! Would probably be best to realize if this is doable for...
No...they are still only advertising for FO's.
I was wondering about the travel for spouses as they seem to stress they want you to bring your spouse with you.....just surprised they dont offer travel!
Thanks for all the responses!
I was curious as I had an email inviting me to the selection process...It looks like they will not provide travel for your spouse. Does anyone know for sure what they will do, if anything as far as bringing your spouse with you?
Personally I have spent enough time in Dubai to know what I'm...
I just moved to Billings and was wondering if anyone could recommend an Ame.
I will also be in Denver next month.. I did a quick search but all the info seemed several years old.
