Holy thread resurrection Batman!!!!


Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but the answer is yes and no. If you are flying a 4 pilot crew then then the full time as the operating crew member counts toward your limits. When augmenting only the time in seat counts towards your limits. As an example: On a DXB-LAX you operate out and the total 16.5 hours counts toward the limit. On the return you are the augment so only time in seat counts.

For 3 pilot crew, one captain and two first officers then the same rule applies to the first officers. When augmenting only time in seat counts toward the limit.

the pprune.org is more live & has more users & info on that region.
I think Airline pilot forums is more for USA.

try it, may be U will find your answers:

Emirates (EK) Interview - all you need to know about it (threads merged) - Page 143 - PPRuNe Forums

Well yes, but there are so many fakes on there it is often difficult to sort through what is fact or what is fiction.

Another source is *************.com - "Pilots helping Pilots"

There are 4 active EK pilots on that forum from the USA and bunch more corporate pilots living in the UAE.

That one looks like a paid forum, but if the people are genuine & there are enough particpants thenI guess it should be worth it.
Are U a member of it, what's your experience?

TP, wondering if you can field a question; You wrote back in 2007 in this thread that it was unlikely that EK would hire someone straight out of the US Military. Is this still the case? I'm considering applying, but don't want to waste my time. Thanks for the help.

Hi, Sorry to say they still have the requirement to have flown at a commercial airline.

I am a member and forum leader there.

The people are genuine.

If you're just looking to fill a few minutes with BS it's a waste of money. If you like to network with real pilots and get the latest intel and job offers from actual people working for the companies offering some of the jobs, this will be the best 10$ you'll ever spend in your life.

As far as the interview process: It has not changed much. Sure things that used to be on day one are now on day two etc., but the basic structure has not changed at all.

Regarding Mil pilots: Some senior managers (Actually just one) still think that spending 2500 hours in a commercial jet gives you more experience than 1500 hours in a miitary plane, let alone 1000 hours in an F15... I know... Don't ask.

What about 3000+ hours in a heavy mil aircraft with lots of ocean crossings?

Unfortunately the company only recognizes the reduced minimum of 2500 hrs if flown in "modern" aircraft, a.k.a. "Glass"... But if you have over 4000 total with 2000 of that in jets you should be competetive IF you have some commercial airline experience.

If you have only mil experience and exceed the posted requirements you should apply and see what happens.
