I thought the RJ was the RJ for the rest of the world. Ya know, that's why there is hiring for CRJ200/700/900's & EMB-145/175's all over the world.

Plus, I don't of ANY RJ's that DON'T have RNAV capabilities.

That doesn't mean it's right. It's a cost of doing business - you want me to fly halfway around the world, you should provide a seat on your aircraft to get me there. That's really not too much to ask. I don't care how they did if for years, show some respect for the people you might like to hire instead of putting an undue burden on their back.

Excluding RJ pilots has nothing really to do with experience and everything to do with attitude and maturity.

If you've been a 121 Captain for even a couple of years, then you'll have dealt with the same cr@ppy weather, delays, diversions, trailer park pax, broken aircraft, etc etc, that we all have.

So I'm pretty sure it comes down attitude and maturity. Just look at some of the opinions and views that are expressed on this board.

I'm one of the 50 or so guys supposedly still treading water in the pool and to be honest, with everything that's been going on at EK over the last 6 months, I'm not exactly upset about the way things have turned out.

Well said... A couple of guys who left the civilized life of Western Europe want out and back with thier prior. Unfortunately... no chance in he!! of that happening. So they are left with an effective loss of over 50% pay based on lies and broken promises. Good luck to the dillusionals at FlyDubai.

Everything in this business is based on supply and demand, there are simply too many experienced pilots out there looking for jobs right now and I believe that the rumors are just that, rumors. I don't have any insiders view of training in EK but judging by the success rate here at AJV/AJX I suspect that RJ pilots didn't do any worst than any other pilot. This economical downturn will recuperate sooner rather than later and you will see not only RJ pilots hired again but also DEC's hired again from the regionals. In the upswing they will hire anyone with a pulse.
