Emirates Interview

[Varmint]

No there's not. I filled out the application, and the drop-down box had CRJ-100/200 as one option and CRJ-700/900 as another option.

That's news to me. Thanks for informing me as I didn't know that change had been made. When my friend applied a couple months ago it was still there and just was CRJ1/2/7/9 while there were other choices for crj200, crj700 in singular as well. Thanks again.

I'm going to go to the job fair in JFK so I'll let you know if I get any manswers.

Flyer,

If you want to work for a premiere airline I'd suggest that you change your avatar. You might also consider scrubbing Facebook, Myspace, etc.

Don't you love unsolicited advice? I know I do.

For you guys with Turboprop time, be patient. EK just announced internally the roll out of a worldwide ab-initio/cadet program. This was previously reserved for UAE citizens; maybe GCC citizens, not positive.
The looming pilot shortage is a fallacy in the U.S., but it's real in the Mideast and Asia. Every carrier in this part of the world has a lot of jets on order. Eventually they will have to give up some these silly requirements about the size of airplanes you have flown in the past.


Best of Luck,
The Pig

Sonic,
Please check your facts on the "EK" ab initio program. It's the EAC and has no ties to EK proper.

Sonic,

Overseas is right, there is no tie to EK at all. This is a roughly $160,000 program with no guarantee of a job at the conclusion just like Riddle or any other training program.

Incidentally, Emirates hit up Qantas for some of its pilots for a 3 year period to come here as FO's. Apparently, up to 120 or so will be allowed to leave Qantas with rights to return if they so desire. I believe that the 30 ton vs 10 ton rule have discouraged a lot of US regional pilots from applying. Why waste the time filling out such an extensive application if you are not going to get called, right?

In all seriousness, if you are at a US regional and are flying a JET and want to come here...PUT IN AN APPLICATION.


Flyer..congrats on the eval...when you make it to Dubai PM me.
