How old is the youngest pilot in Emirates???

[ashwinrao]

Anyone know how old the youngest pilot at Emirates is??
just curious... if there have been any success stories of low time people getting in..

Look at their minimum req. I think at 4000 hrs, they might just look at your resume, I doubt they would be hiring anything less.

Youngest expat pilot is 29

Thanks ruserious! That means I have 8 years to beat the record :p

Theres a 20 yo national. I haven't looked but am surprised that 29 is the youngest current expat. There certainly have been lots younger including several sub 30 captains.

Wow sub 30 captains... thats nuts!!! How do you possibly log enough hours to get to captain before you turn 30?!? Does Emirates hire ex-military pilots?

Does Emirates look for any post secondary education? Or do they just look at flying experience. Thanks

[ph-heineken]

except for the good ole us, airlines don't care about college degrees

I think they just look for flying experience, with post secondary education as extra points.
