I don't mind staying in Dubai, it's a great city. Just need to know more details about their requirements.

Unwritten mins 4000 - 5000 total 2000 EFIS

My buddy WANTED to work for Emirates and during the interview they flat out said, "You are Jewish so we are not going to hire you". He's not Jewish at all! Anyways, just a legally racist organization, government subsidized, upgrade is if they like you they upgrade you, three year contract(at least it was I believe) and Dubai is not the Paradise it seems. Lots of things to remind you of the third world, *****s everywhere wanting your hard earned money but there are nice people there. Oh, the national pastime is shopping at the mall. What the heck else do you do when it's 160 degrees out! (just kidding). Really peeved me what they said to my friend. On a side note, i do like flying as a passenger on Emirates. They hire hot, young flight attendants and the service is very good.

Then, I might consider...

Agreed, although for me it would be EU bases. Commuting options would be acceptable too. But definitely not going as an FO and not moving my family to the middle east.

I've always flown either Emirates, Qatar, or Etihad. They always have great service for the px but seems like not a great place to work

I can guarantee you El Al does not have Muslim pilots. It cuts both ways.

No minimum hours any more...They lowered their mins...very desperate...losing upwards of 10% per month was posted by several pilots...

If we were losing 10% a month that would mean all our current pilots would be gone in 10 months. I think you mean a 10% rate for the year.

Actually that's not quite how the math works. Losing 10% does not linearly go to 0 in 10 months. Say you have 100 pilots. Losing 10% a month means down to 90 in one month. Losing 10% again means down to 81. 10% again means down to ~73. Then 10% again 65.61, and so it goes 59.05, 53.14, 47.83, 43.05, 38.74, and 34.87.

So if you started with 100 pilots and lost 10% every month then by month 10 you'd have ~35 pilots left.

Thank you for that, I did take math in high school and college(and actually passed). I was just making a point that we weren't losing 10% of our pilots each month.

Are the requirements on EK's website actually correct?
ICAO ATPL
English Level 4

I just applied with:
2300 hrs TT
1300 hrs Jet (small citation jets)
ICAO ATPL
English Level 6

Surely i meet these requirements, and if so, why did i get the rejection email saying they require

A minimum of 4000 hours total flying time including 2000 hrs on multi-crew, multi-engine jet aircraft.
- OR -
2500 hrs on modern EFIS multi-crew, multi-engine jet aircraft with a MTOW of greater than 30T


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 06:45 PM.
