Falcon to Emirates?

[Way2Broke]

Personally I would prefer to go to a Cub than anything else. Aww, thats it... a nice peaceful Cub over the plains in day VFR with a tailwind and not a bump in the sky.
Go to your happy place... Go to your happy place... awww... there it is!

Hi!

I doubt that any Falcon pilot could hope to go directly to Emirates. As many of you know, there IS NO pilot shortage. The naysayers assure me that Emirates is parking airplanes and furloughing pilots left and right.

Here is a glimpse of the current situation.

They must be definitely drastically short on crews. Initial application Nov 15th, placed on the shortlist Nov 17th, invited to initial interview in Atlanta U.S. on Nov 23rd. TT 3700, 2000 jet, A320 current and typed. Pretty exited.

Emirates Airlines looks to double Airbus A380 order to 110


DUBAI (Thomson Financial) - Dubai-based Emirates Airlines wants to double its order of 55 Airbus A380 super jumbo jets when airport capacity in its home base permits, its president Tim Clark said today.

"I want to double (the number of A380s on order)" from the European aircraft maker, Clark told reporters.

Short of our Minimum Hours Requirement?
