Pretty quiet lately. Any PSP folks that interviewed in dxb march or April hear anything at all? If so, how long after your interview. I got back from dxb over a month ago and still not a peep.

I Have heard from a very reliable source that courses are full through September. I imagine there might be a few places due to cancellations- you'd have to be available with short notice. Good luck. Cheers

Not just rumors, confirmation: Not gonna happen. When they discussed growth plans, the building of the new 380 terminal etc, it seemed clear to me that the business model will focus on a hub in dxb only. Not a problem for me.

This has been talked about lots, seems every few years a new group of pilots starts the same old rumor. As a a retired FM said " It's not the Dubai way". All money paid to be spent in Dubai,becoming harder and harder to save but the powers to be like it that way.

I finally got the message yesterday that I've been "Shortlisted" on my FO application. What's the norm for how long it takes from that hurdle to an invite to interview? (I'm aware that I'm still not guaranteed the chance.)

Anyone else seeing any movement on their application process?

I was "shortlisted" in the middle of February and have not been scheduled for an interview, although I do still exchange emails with EK. A colleague of mine was "shortlisted" the week before me and has an interview slated for June. But that has been scheduled for a while. If you read up here you will see that EK is backlogged in training with DECs and A380 transitions.
Good luck and see you in DXB.

It seems the hiring has slowed down a little bit.

quick question...I'm still new in the aviation community. Student pilot working on commercial cert. If I were to go the whole cfi route to regionals and if I wanted to fly for emirates or someone like them as a F/O, would it be better to just build experience through regionals with a high seniority and stick with them, or move on up to a major and start off as a noobie? Hopefully the more experienced here can understand my question.
