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.

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.

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.

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