Should US majors follow Emirates lead?

" 1 Tonne equals 1000 kilograms equals 2204 pounds."

Well done.

Someone from Emirates HR probably found this board and decided to do everything they could to avoid hiring Instructordude

I'm already at a major tough guy.

Go get a job flying a big jet over the weight requirement. Then you would be qualified.

Yeah, but what if you're black and the man's holding you down and won't train you to pass?

How many people don't qualify because they don't know what a Tonne is?

" ... hiring mins to require time in a/c over 55 tonnes? "

Negro please...You don't even know what "tonnes" means, now do you?

Moderator,

Come on your gonna leave this piece of trash on here and later in the posts there's another guy talking about "picking cotton."

This site has always had a bad reputation but this is really bad. Clean it up.

I should have googled "tonne" before typing.

Isn't a DC-9 less than 55 tonne?

The TOGW for the DC9-30 100,000, DC9-40 110,000, DC9-50 121,000.

 

[BeachBummer]

So am I!

The TOGW for the DC9-30 100,000, DC9-40 110,000, DC9-50 121,000.

55 metric tons = 121254.2442 pounds

Therefore, the -9 all series doesn't count.

 

[pilotyip]

Depends

isn't a dc-9 less than 55 tonne?

dc-9-32 110,000; dc-9-34 121,000. BTW If in the future they can not find these pilots, they will redefine competive hiring minimums

it's one thing to make a funny remark or to use slang talk... it's something else to get into racial bigotry and stereotype.. I give a 10 day warning to the offending member. Lets keep it on topic of EK and A/C weights.
