You two guys on this page who say you aren't getting any calls from US Majors you didn't mention if you have a 4 year degree.

As far as I know, no us major is waiving that requirement yet.

Yes. 4 year degree with 3.3 GPA

You would definitely have A LOT of fun with the FA's there, but overall it would be a very negative experience I believe. As others have stated, there is a long bond term there.

A friend of mine worked there around 9 or 10 years ago. He left with less than a 90 day notice due to a family emergency. He left about 60-70 days after he notified them of the situation(but before the separation date he gave them due to the critical medical nature of an immediate family member), and received no resistance from Emirates. Fast forward 6-7 years later...he flew into DXB as a crew member. He was then told by UAE Customs that he would not be allowed to leave UAE until he sorted out his issue with EK, and they confiscated his passport. He contacted EK, they told him since he left with less than 90 days notice, he had to pay them back his last 3 months pay(the last 3 months that he worked, 30 days before he gave his notice and 60 days after) AND the cost for his housing, etc for that time. He was held hostage in UAE until paid. He ended up paying close to $50k before he was allowed to leave UAE.

This was several years ago before they were as desperate as they are. They will not treat you as a human being, simply as a piece of property. If that sounds good to you, go ahead and apply to EK.

Yep, sounds like a wonderful place.

I am looking for some information about how many pilots with foreign licences are flying for Emirates or Dubai based air charter services - basically need to see if I can do FAA / TCC / CASA / CAA NZ medicals for pilots in Abu Dhabi.
Can anyone give me an approx idea ? Or where I can get this information ?

Regards

FAA Medicals... Access the FAA website. Medical... a list of AMEs including those overseas can be accessed

If you are not based in Dubai they lose absolute control over you. With you living there since they are tied directly to the government and all that goes with that including passport, legal and visa issues you are their *****!
