I just received an email from pilot recruitment. I had turned down an interview back in late 2006 because I couldn't get answers to several questions. I didn't want to waste their time nor mine so I declined the interview. Well they emailed me again as mentioned above asking me to update and I would get priority, but the problem is I still don't have answers to the following questions: I did pose these questions to pilot recruitment via email though I highly doubt I will ever get an answer. Here are my questions, if anyone can answer these, please do so, I would really appreciate it.
1. I don't want to move my family to Dubai because both my children are in one of the top high schools in my state. I don't mind moving there myself and visiting during layovers and when I get a week or so of days off together, the family can always stay with me during the summer and school holidays. So is it a deal breaker for Emirates to not move my family there?
2. If I can do the move on my own and leave my family in the U.S. will they be covered for medical health insurance by Emirates?
3. Any chance of basings outside Dubai, i.e. NY or anywhere else?
4. Can the evaluation, i.e. the interview process be accomplished in the U.S.?
5. What is the realistic number for F/O monthly take home pay, please include salary, any extra hourly flight hour rates, and per diem?
6. With direct entry captains still being hired, realistically what are the opportunities to upgrade, and the time frame it's taking F/O to upgrade?
Thanks in advance for answering the above questions

2. Beyond my knowledge. I do know they would have to be registered with the clinic in Dubai.
3. At the present time, NO.
4. Yes, that is in the planning. That is, the sim eval and tech test may be done in the US with follow up two day interview in Dubai.
5. Check their web site for latest. Per diem is payed at time of check in at the hotel. You will get a basic salary and then a small amount for the hours you fly. This is new.
6. DECs are still being hired, but have to have a lot of hours on the right type of equipment (glass) and have some nice resume filler (training, line check, etc). F/0 upgrade somewhere between 3-4 years, if not on a fast track.
Ok, these are not definitive answers but MY OPINION ONLY. TP and a couple of others can chime in and tell me I'm right or wrong.
Go to the road shows and ask those specific questions from the HR folks. That's why they are hitting the road. Give them a reason for going.

Skyone,
Thanks for the info. I guess the biggest hold up for me would be the lack of medical coverage for my family back in the States. I wonder how the U.S. employees of Emirates are covered since they are not based in Dubai? BTW when and where are the roadshows? Thanks
