Emirates hour requirements

[mcdonnst2]

Anyone know if they are accepting lower than there advertised house requirements?

Will a full atpl 1800hrs, with 500 40t jet time be looked at?

Cheers

These hour requirements have already been dropped so low a line has to be drawn somewhere. Sorry guys....

[Officer Kite]

Wasn't the requirement at one stage to simply have an ATPL?

[TOGA!]

ever see pictures of the guys who won the Battle of Britain?

and a couple years later the B-17 guys who flew East in anger?

not that it has much to do what is going on today, but young pilots have been around for quite some time.

TOGO you're correct, it has nothing to do with what's going on today...

[Officer Kite]

Would they have met EK requirements today?

I think not ... so why is mcdonnst2 being shot down? ... pardon the pun

There were some exceptional pilots in the war years and some exceptional pilots now.

The differentiating point is that the less exceptional and unlucky in the war years lost their lives, and generally theirs alone save a few crew.

The less exceptional pilots these days have 350+ sat behind them...
