So, I don't want to hear from people saying "stay away" or "count your blessings" but I received this e-mail from Emirates today after applying yesterday. What does it mean? I have and ATP and indicated english proficient on the app. When it says "technically proficient and experienced pilots on multi-crew, multi-engine commercial aircraft", does this mean 121? I have quite a bit of time in corporate aircraft but nothing over 25k lbs.
