Actually, if I'm not mistaken, if you exceed 30, then they do blood tests, but it's not an end-game... though it could be for EK.

It's an end game...at 28 upwards to 30 they run glucose tests and put you on a mini diet then ask a retest....

anyone joining EK now is looking at a long upgrade. I would guess 10+ years. Unless you really like the idea of living in Dubai there are probably better options

Have their growth plans changed? I realize that the 380 orders have been postponed due to defect in wing design, but are the 777s and A350s still coming?

380 deliveries continuing, training a bit backed up

I think its more of a matter of total airframes. Ek has around 180 now and to upgrade if you joined to day that fleet would need to nearly double. Lots of deliveries coming but also lots of aircraft retirements. I have no specific info however. You could probably do some research on pprune and general ek news to get a better idea. Attrition is not as high as one would expect.

EK expects to have approx 250 total airframes by 2020 at last estimates

When are we going to see pilots hired onto the 777 fleet again? Have they filled the A330 FO pipeline yet?

Just curious - out of the total number of pilots to be hired from now until the end of 2013, what perecentage (estimate) would get allocated the 777 fleet?

Yes your at 31.6 you need to get to 208lbs for the computer NOT to kick you out

Good Luck

Thanks. I should have applied before my kids mom dragged me to buy ice cream and shakes when she was pregnant! Time to start losing or hope for a US job

Even if you got past the computer, they'd can your app the second you walked through door with a gut hanging out.
