Hey Woofer I will PM you shortly.

A basic break down of the interview. Now the majority of info on PPRUNE is accurate as far as the format.

Day 1. Tech test and SIM. Forget about the ACE book, CAPT XYZ and the Emirates interview book for the TECH exam. They have changed it completely. You would be better off studying from the ATP written and FEX written.
The Emirates interview book is good review for the SIM profile, it is exactly what you will get.

You have to get through the first day, no ifs ands or buts.

Out of our group of 7, 5 made it through to days two and three.

One DEC candidate and one FO candidate were not asked to come back. As a matter of interest every DEC candidate from last week, I think there were 5, did not make it beyond day 1.

I thought about getting some SIM time prior to going to DXB. I was advised by a couple of folks at EK that I know not to bother.

Typhoonpilot gave me some excellent advice about the SIM. Basically map it out in your mind how you are going to fly each profile, basically chair fly each segment. Brief, brief, brief.



Day 2 Group exercises, tour and lunch.

Day 3 Psychometrics. Meet with the psychologist and the a board interview (pilot and HR lady)

However all this works out, I had a great time in Dubai. Our group worked really well together. When I was finishing up the panel interview the comment was made that our group had been very interesting to watch.

If you are interested our group consisted of 1 American, 1 Fijian, 1 Czech,
1 English, 1 French.

A/C we were currently flying, MD11, 744, A319, A320, B777
