If you have to come on this forum to recruit pilots you must be really hurting. Emirates looked great when the U.S. Carriers were not hiring. Not the case now. Good luck!

USA basing, Direct Entry Captains...

Then, I might consider...

There are many reasons why Emirates is sooooooo desperate for pilots - many of whom are jumping like rats from a ship. Anyone considering EK should do extensive, thorough research and look at the other aviation discussion boards as well.

I do agree, if EK offered US basing that would only help their own efforts. Highly doubt that will happen though...

Agreed, all they have to do is open a JFK base for US crews and that 1000 would be filled instantly. Of course that would mean admitting that no one chooses to live in Dubai, just forced to by other circumstances.

If there was a US base, Emirates would have to follow US labor laws to US based crews right? Like the right to Unionize, etc?

EK is a fu&*#ing joke. Ive got 12 years 121, thousands of TPIC, 3 internal recs. Their internal screening department is a joke. I continually get emails stating that I dont meet the minimum 2000 hours multi-crew time. And yes, my app indeed states 5K+ multi crew time....I truly believe half of their problem is their own idiocracy in vetting online apps. My buds say I may be better off....

I must agree with that, 1000 plus jet above 100k tow and 4000 total time and their department says i lack total time and efis time.... Good luck poaching from every a320 operator.

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

No minimum hours could get scary.
