Emirates' background checks are not that good to be honest. I've had people ask me about DUIs and such. The answer straight from recruiting at the time was, "just don't put it down, they don't check".

When Varig went out of business a lot of late 30s, early 40s guys showed up as DECs with 3000 PIC in the MD-11. Yeah right!!, Varig was a very senior airline, there is no way those guys had PIC time in the MD-11.
