Emirates

How hard is it to get a call from Emirates. I have applied and updated a few times but nothing yet? Any thoughts?

Next time they are in the US go to a roadshow. That would be my best suggestion.

Well cl604
Not wanting to be sarcastic about your a/c flown answer, unfortunately it does matter to Emirates, so for the most part if you don't have time in a/c over 30 tonnes you won't get a call until they withdraw that requirement.

I have had the screen name for over 7 years. Not flying that anymore and I am currently planes above 40 tons. Don't judge till you know the facts my friend.

 

[overseas boy]

If I was judging you I wouldn't have started my answer with a sincerely worded comment about the type of answer you gave to a/c flown. I was however trying to explain why you may not have gotten a call yet.

I'm glad you're flying a/c over 40 tonnes hopefully EK will be in touch. Good luck.

The key is the road show.

 

[Huskers1]

I submitted my application online, never went to a roadshow. Got an email and was scheduled for an interview within a week. Decided not to go and politely declined. This was last summer and since have received numerous emails and PHONE CALLS asking to set up an interview time. Not sure why they keep calling me since there are plenty of guys more qualified then myself. I guess my point is, there really is no rhyme or reason. Just keep trying.

 

[cl604driver]

Huskers1....wish that would happen to me, guess gotta be a little more patient.

Overseas boy I know you were only trying to help. Hope a little more time will help and get that call from them soon. Thanks for you guys input

The key is the weight requirement. I've been to two road shows, over 6000TT, over 3000TPIC and no dice. The aircraft I fly is 25tons.

 

[landlover]

Also note that if the airplane you fly is over 60 tons but isn't what EK considers an "airliner" you wont get a call. Which was the case for me. All modern biz jets don't comply with this minimum.

 

[BentOver]

They've e-mailed me a couple of times...Nothing larger than a CRJ50. Said I needed just 1 hr in a CRJ700 or larger....

Honestly, after thinking about it, unless put in a bind, I can't do "time" in that part of the world... That's just me personally.

 

[brokeflyer]

just lie about it.....they aint gonna really check. and if they do then you aren't in any worse shape than yesterday.

times are tough, be aggressive.

Careful. You don't want to end up like this expat pilot:

Fleeing the country back to his homeland may have saved him from certain jail time, given India's recent problems with fake hours for their "Commanders."

Wow! seriously? this is your recommendation?

Wow! seriously? this is your recommendation?

Well, there are some airlines that operate the CRJ-200/700/900. Many pilots I know just put "CRJ" in the aircraft type column. So who's to say otherwise? Obviously, honesty should prevail.

 

[hangarrash]

Honesty should always prevail. All it takes is some kind of incident or accident to have the authorities crawl through your records. Remember, everything you put on paper or into a computer as a pilot can be considered a legal document by somebody.
