Airbus VS boeing
What going on with boeing!!! Airbus is picking up every order in dubai airshow!! I personally think boeing has better airplanes. It is also political, (iraq war).
Any comments thanks |
12 more 777's for EK. We're now the biggest 777 operator in the world.
Not much "politics" there. As an aside, it makes sense to keep a split fleet, IMHO. Keep the eggs in 2 baskets, so to speak... |
well heres an excerpt of an email that was sent out to EK. heres their official position
"Candidates who are up to 500 hours below total and/or multi-engine jet hours are invited to submit their applications and may be offered the opportunity to attend a selection programme in Dubai. Successful candidates must, however, meet published minimum hours requirements prior to joining" so it sounds like theyre sticking with 4000 TT to be hired, 3500 to interview |

Anybody know EK's position on people that reapply? In 2006 I interviewed, tested and did a sim check in ATL. Subsequently I was asked to Dubai for further interview but I declined because my carrier was about to maker a big BK payout. Plus I knew I was going to get checked out in the 747-4. Is it worth my time to fill out the application again? Any inside info is appreciated?:) Thanks...

Any comments thanks nah everyone knew EK was looking for BIG airplanes. they did not make that a secret. They asked Boeing to make a extra capacity version of the 787 and Boeing didnt do it. So obviously they went with the 350. no brainer they want BIG airplanes Typhoonpilot |
typhoon - when is the first A380 coming on property and who is going to be the initial cadre for that?

Typhoon, I'm think of traveling to Dubai on my own for a look see, is there anything you would recommend as a must see for someone contemplating working for EK..Thanks ...:)....JW
