Hi!

I don't ever think that EK has had this many roadshows, at once in the US (and maybe not Europe, either). Just read that Qatar was INTERVIEWING in the US! A first for them. Qatar is already hiring DECs (Direct Entry Captains). They weren't in December.

EK has no minimum weight requirements now. In Sep? when the re-started hiring, it was over 55 tonnes required. Then 55 tonnes preferred. Then 20/25 tonnes. Then 10 tonnes at the LAS job fair a month ago, and now nothing. I've heard the numbers of pilots leaving have just increased over the last 6 months. They have actually improved the T&Cs (Terms and Conditions) for the pilots a little, for the first time. I think EK will get more and more desperate for pilots! If enough of us Americans don't go there, they will probably finally allow us to be US based!
