Emirates Interview

[av8tordude23]

Not sure if any regional pilot without experience greater than an ERJ145 or CJ200, but I have 8000+ 1300 PIC jet I was email this...

Dear [Name removed],
Thank you for your email as well as your interest in Emirates. Although we are conducting pre-selections in Atlanta later this month, we are giving precedence to those with experience on multi-engine jet aircraft with a MTOW in excess of 30 tonnes. I do invite you to submit an on-line application on www.ekpilot.com as we do review our hiring criteria from time to time.
Yours sincerely,

Richard Cyr

Varmit and Overseas,

I stand corrected. Shows how closely I read EK emails.
I still think a Turboprop guy with a couple thousand hours in the left seat of a 121 operation can make the transition over here.

Corrected again, "Oh I see"

I think it sounds good. They will run through the 30T guys first and then give out the available slots to the rest. At least it didn't say "sorry you don't meet our requirements".

LOL. That's 2nd most used standard callout. I use it almost as much as "checked".

 

[Alltheway]

never mind

Ladies & Gents,

As mentioned many times, EK is not for everyone.

Some guys just cant make it work others know how make the system work for them.

A330/340 is a different gig. I wouldn't rec EK to anyone that wasn't highly adaptive, tolerant and flexible...but if you are, then this may be the place for you.

But whatever you do dont listen to posters who have 'passed through DXB' and are now experts on life at EK....they are not.

30-ton rule is alive and well. I found out the hard way.

EK will not park airplanes.

A deep pool for them is the E-145 & CR2 guys, that they haven't gone there yet tells you they are still getting enough from the various sources. From what I understand many at FR (52 invites from the London session)are coming to DXB for one day turbo assessments as FR mgt continues to prohibit enough time off to go to DXb as well as being difficult in signing log books, recs etc.

The other interesting source is Qantas FO's (see pprune). It could be up to 120.

HR have the light RJ guys as a backup, once that is exhausted (would take a while) their final line of defense is SO's.

Stay tuned and be patient, planes are coming at 2.5 per month since May and set to continue for years.

Good luck to all,

The Qantas FO rumor is false.

The Qantas FO rumor is false.

Actually, it's not. Saw the email QF mgt sent out, from a buddy of mine at QF.

 

[Dumb Pilot]

Kenny is correct and this is not the first time that Qantas offers leave to their pilots and coordinates preferential interviews and such, they have done it in the past with ANA and with EK also a few years back I think, I don't think there will be many takers since there are opportunities right now in S. E. Asia that are more commutable for them (no time zone changes and daily flights to OZ) I suspect the numbers will be very low, if any.

I am now hearing that EK mgmt retracted the Q offer and it no longer exists. Can anyone confirm this?

Did a trip with an instructor a couple of days back and he confirmed EK pulled the plug on the deal. He said that the Qantas CEO made some comment on some TV show and EK then pulled the plug.

 

[fareview]

Word in DXB is along with media comment from QF mgt, the internal email to their pilots suggested EK approached QF when in fact it was the other way around. After that was published EK said enough with the rubbish and shut it down.'

Any truth to the rumor, they will interview and hire without the atp and you just need to get it before class?
