Default Emirates-Help-Time Requirements

Hi!

I am trying to find out if I qualify for Emirates. I am hoping someone who is in the application/interview/new hire process can help.

I have 4200 TT, BUT as I was filling out the app, I can only input PIC/SIC (I have no 2nd officer or FE time).

If I count only my PIC/SIC time, I am pretty far short of the requirements, as I have about 400 student/dual-rcvd hours, and about 50 of solo.

Is there some way my student time can be counted?

Does student time not count?

Any info/suggestions are appreciated!!!

Cliff,

About 12 months ago they were looking at guys that fell short of the 4000 by a few hundred hours but as we all know the market is flooded with furloughed and laid-off pilots now.

The end result is that EK is going to be able to take their pick of the Airbus and Boeing pilots. RJ guys are going to have to wait quite a while to be looked at again.

Currently there are about 100-130 of us sitting in a pool, pulling our hair out waiting for course dates. I'd fill out the application and see what happens. You've got nothing to lose. TyphoonPilot might be able to give you a better idea.

Good luck.
