I would love to hear from he guys that have been at EY for a while. I'm a 49 year old USAir/ American instructor/evaluator on the 320. Due to my background, time abroad I've been offered a DEC on the 320 at EY. I've lived abroad before (Riyadh, China) but I'd like to hear from guys there if in their opinion would you leave AA, being almost 50 and prob 2500-3000 from the bottom, prob looking at 5-7 years to upgrade, to be a DEC 320 guy at EY. any pros/cons, thoughts on this would be very appreciated. Also my sons are 16 and 14, any truth to once 18 they have to leave the country?
Thanks in advance

EY is a class act compared to many outfits! Lots of fun to be had in the dhabs as an expat. Great experience and great crews. And no your kids don't have to leave at 18. In my opinion EY is one of the better expat gigs around.

Any RJ drivers getting calls? Specifically RJ FO's?

I was waiting to see if anyone actually working at the big 3 airlines would take the bait. My information is second hand but I have heard on this and other forum that GENERALLY the cut off is around 30 for BMI.

On that note, does anyone know if they will accept a candidate who has a special issuance first class?

I accomplished the GCAA medical recently and found it quite easy in comparison to other Asian countries. The only blood test was to check your red blood cell count. The BMI was not looked at in depth like Japan or China. If you have a special issue medical just explain to the doctor your situation. They will most likely ask for further additional tests to verify the severity of your condition. Overall it was a positive experience and more of a common sense approach of trying to help you pass. In the end I chose to not pursue the job because of other issues in Dubai but I do recommend it for NTR pilots trying to move up the ladder as the ME offers opportunity albeit at a cost. I would apply and then cross the medical bridge when you come to it if you make it that far.

Thanks for the comments GC and EXPAT...

Good info.

I was offered an interview in February, however, was unable to attend due personal reasons. How likely would it be to be given a second opportunity? (A320 CA)

Hi guys,
Did anybody get an interview date recently? I applied 3 months ago and still waiting.

Thanks for the info!
