They are concentrating on Direct Entry Captains only as of now. Therefore no FO's movement.

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.

Apparently they couldn't clear their testing computers through customs. None of us could take any tests.

TP

"significant jet PIC time" What would that be? Is 2,000PIC jet enough (Part 121 CRJ)? Sounds like age discrimination is alive and well outside the US. Oh well, it is what it is. I'll also have to move on as I got the same response.

All the same, sorry that it is an apparent issue...

Sheesh...I remember awhile ago (or actually it was within the last year or so) everyone was saying no more DECs. Guess I need to keep up with things!

From: B-777 Right seat

Need info ref age, etc..

Hello all

New on this forum and like to get some info on EK..

Saw a previous post that F/Os are restricted to 48 years old max?? Can anyone confirm this?

I'm currently a B-777 right seat guy with 16000 + hrs mostly in wide body types ( Mostly Boeing ) and Narrow body Airbus too.

But I'm also 54 and it seems that it is important...

If you can provide feedbacks on my chances with EK if any, I will appreciate it.

Thanks
