As far as the schedule goes:
The 330 does not have a lot of overnights, specially compared to the 777. We do not overnight anywhere in Pakistan, Iran and only Kalkotta in India. It does get better once you get to the 340 but it does not ever get as good as the 777. Lots of India turns during the night. Good overnights include Seychelles, Milan, London, Venice, Nice and Hong Kong to name a few.
On the other side if you want to fly a widebody and be home almost every "night" EK's 330 "roster" is the way to go.
Hope it helps.

We will try and find out for you. As of the last interviewing, they were very few and far between. There are a great number of f/os that have had their upgrades delayed (after being scheduled). But again, after the last interviewing to get a DEC interview one had to be current on international "glass" and holding a training position of some sort like a line check airman.

I just received an invite for an Emirates interview in February. Anyone else hear from them? I thought they had quite a pool already.
Also, from current Emirates pilots, how is the current atmosphere? Is the global economic meltdown affecting EK and/or Dubai? How is Dubai now for families?
Any interview gouge?
Thanks in advance gents & ladies...

Delivery dates for the remaining B777 aircraft scheduled for late this year and early 2009 have been received from Boeing. As a result of the Boeing industrial action earlier this fall, the deliveries have slipped and the plan for next year foresees us operating fewer B777 aircraft than originally planned. In combination with the already delayed A380’s, our overall pilot requirements for 2009-2010 are reduced from earlier estimates.
That might answer some of your questions regarding class dates in 2009 for those in the pool !!

Pretty comparable in the total time. Difference being I have more 121 (all in RJ, Saab, and 1900) and no heavy jet. Oh well, maybe someday. Thanks.
