They will not hire military only pilots. Lots of ex-military but they were at airlines prior to EK. They prefer guys with 737NG and A320 time over RJs, but will hire RJ pilots when there are not enough applications from pilots with bigger aircraft experience.

They just cut off the RJ hiring. Or maybe all FO hiring to get caught up.

Again, from people that received that actual email that were in the middle of the interview process and did not make it to Dubai yet. I dont know what else to tell you unless you want me to post the actual email on here.

They did cancel all future PSP interviews for FO's in the states until further notice.

I saw the same thing, but does anyone know if that means they will just bring over US-based guys to DXB for interviews or have they postponed all US non-Airbus rated FO interviews until further notice?

Any idea why they don't want military only? I know they make the rules, but seems odd.

Most companies abroad won't hire pilots with military only time nor corporate only time, to them it is not odd, it is the norm.
