So, I don't want to hear from people saying "stay away" or "count your blessings" but I received this e-mail from Emirates today after applying yesterday. What does it mean? I have and ATP and indicated english proficient on the app. When it says "technically proficient and experienced pilots on multi-crew, multi-engine commercial aircraft", does this mean 121? I have quite a bit of time in corporate aircraft but nothing over 25k lbs.

1. It's your technical knowledge: Aircraft Sys, SOP, Performanace, etc.
2. Non Single Pilot flying
3. No worries I have met a few folks that have corporate flying granted they had prior 121 and current M.E. flying when they joined.
4. They stack your experience based on the pool or banks of applicants they have. With the recent downgrade of minimums and once things get sorted, you guys should started getting contacted soon.

Slaveaway….
Your name here will be your lifestyle at EK. You'll be a perfect fit!
Have you ever asked yourself why there is an average of 1 pilot per day resigning currently???
Best of luck to you, though! Enjoy your 96 hours a month!

Unless you want to be a second/third class citizen in a miserably hot and racist part of the world... Look elsewhere.

They may not be that keen on hiring US pilots right now. Statistically speaking, you will leave after three years of abuse.
You can debate the attrition percentages. Fact of the matter is that they are short of pilots.
People are resigning and the recruitment numbers are keeping things even at best. Hence the reduction in hiring minimums to broaden their prospective "pool" of pilots.
Even if you have attractive experience and flight time numbers, I believe their intention is to hire people less likely to leave. At least for the foreseeable future.
If you really are keen on EK, I wish you the best of luck. Beware, it is not the Utopia. Far from it. So if it does not come to fruition ...better things are in wait for you.

Just some more fodder for y'all….
Just read an FO got 110 hours for his October bid. This includes bunk time which at EK is not counted towards your yearly max. But you are paid for.
110 hours…. Really that's what awaits you as an FO at EK as they are that short!!

Meanwhile back in the U.S. guys at the majors are crediting 150-200 hours plus at the majors, and NOT flying 110 hours.
The way EKs pay works, flying overtime is criminally disadvantageous,
