Could anyone shed a little more insight into how life at EY is these days? I am quite interested in them and frankly have quite a few questions. Schedules, quality of life, morale, days off, work rules, pay considering cost of living in Abu Dhabi, what a topical month looks/feels like, upgrades.... I guess the usual things a pilot worries about! Thanks in advance.

There is opening for non rated FO's for B777 and A320. However, when trying to applying for position, it mentions 500 hours on type? Is that a mistake or am I missing something? Anyone with answers please?

CM once you click apply on either the FO Non-rated B777 or FO Non-rated A320 offers it mentions you need a minimum of 500 hours on current type, i.e. the multi crew jet aircraft you are currently flying. That's my interpretation at least! Regards.

How soon are the A380 & 787s arriving?

If you are an A320 FO, what is the likelihood you can bid onto the 787 fleet? Or will you be funneled into the A330->A350->A380 path?

Spoke with JRM today and he informed me that there were enough type rated T7 folks available for the "next few months" and that they will maintain the job opening in question but don't expect a call until that pipeline is depleted....

It'll be interesting over the next year or so. The fleet size is a bit over 80 aircraft with similar numbers on order and optioned. They plan on a fleet size of about 240 aircraft. Doubt I'll see it come to fruition as I plan on moving on in two or three years.

When and how many non rated pilots are hired I have no idea. Seems every time things get critical with recruitment an airline somewhere goes under and they end up with applicants. If you don't mind the expat life and flying to exotic destinations this is a good place to be. If you have a shot at a good job with a legacy in your home country I would recommend you take it. Nothing like being at home. Most of the new hires I've flown with on the 777 came without out type ratings, generally either 744 or 738 guys.
