For those interviewing this week:
Also using the A310 sim for the interview most of the time now. Sometimes the A320 for those who are Airbus FBW qualifed. Umm, and yes, we happen to have an A320 sim sitting in one of our facilities even though we don't fly the type. Same goes for the A310, but at least we used to fly the type.

Emirates signs $26b order Boeing 777 planes
Emirates on Sunday announced a firm order for 50 Boeing 777-ers, with options for 20 more 777s
On Sunday, Emirates announced it has placed an order for 50 Boeing 777s.
Dubai: Emirates announced on Sunday that it has placed an order for 50 Boeing 777s in a deal worth $18 billion, in addition to options for 20 planes of the same type, taking the total order value up to $26 billion (options included).
The $18 billion-order marks the single largest commercial plane order in Boeing's history by dollar value, said Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates airline and Group.
This order adds to Emirates' existing world's largest fleet of 95 777s in service. "With 61 777-300- ERs currently in service, this record-breaking dollar value is another milestone for Emirates and affirms our strategy to expand our long haul destinations and continue to excel as a world's leading carrier," said Sheikh Ahmed.
Added Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes:
"As the largest operator of the 777 in the world, Emirates has played an important role in development of the airplane and its input over the years has been invaluable in the development of the 777 programme." With Emirates order, the 2011 net order book for the 777 currently stands at 182, according to Boeing.

Where can I find an updated FULL payscale? The one on APC has certain corrections (first year pay). How does the second and subsequent years look? Also, I under that seniority dictates schedule. Is this correct? How about upgrade? Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

APC does a reasonable job at keeking the information up do date, but there are a lot of inaccuracies right now.
Best place to get the latest numbers is here
I can tell you my base pay is significantly more than the 10 year captain amount shown on the scale. The base pay changes almost every year. The whole scale goes up for inflation and you move up one step so it averages around a 6% raise. Some years it's been 15%. Base pay for F.O. when I started was only $4500/month. Now a first year F.O. can reasonably expect to make close to $100,000.
Upgrade is by seniority as long as you meet the minimum requirements for hours.
Monthly schedule is a rotating bid. It goes in five month cycles. You get placed in one bid group and that group rotates from bottom to top. Effectively you get two top bids/year, two second to top, etc. It works out pretty well and is one of the fairest I've ever seen.

I was offered a sim eval in Jan, then this morning I was contacted and offered a first officer pre selection program phase 1 earlier in the month of Jan.
Can anyone shed some light on what this means? What is the Pre Selection Program?

Here was my time line:
Submitted app
Within 8 hrs I got an email saying I was short listed for an interview.
3-4 days after that I was contacted and set up a MIA sim eval for Jan 2012.
Now 3 weeks later I've been contacted again and asked to complete the pre selection Phase 1. It seems like it will be Compass Testing, Reasoning Testing and a short interview, then do the sim a week later. If succesful with all you go to DBX for whatever is left.(I think)

That sounds a lot like the pre-selection program I went through back in July-September. First stage is compas tests, psychometric tests, and a short one on one interview. Second stage was sim eval, third stage is a 2 day process where the first day was completing one compass test (joystick one) that they didn't have us do in the states, a couple more psychometric tests, HR briefing and finally the accommodations tour. The second day was the group assessment, psych interview, and panel interview. If you passed at the end of the afternoon, you go get all your medical stuff done.
