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.

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.

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.

I heard the same thing from a friend of mine as well. If you were lucky enough to have a previous interview set up already to go to Dubai, then you are all good. I think there were some still in the pipeline with dates already. If not, then you are on hold for a while. Word is the guys who got hired in the past week or two got summer 777 classes. Can anybody confirm? At least that's what I was told. Sucks cause the issue in Atlanta wasn't our fault.
