From Vice President Flight Ops...
DIRECT ENTRY COMMANDS
"Given the planned expansion of the Emirates fleet a considerable amount of resource planning has been conducted. This work has demonstrated that without reducing the minimum criteria for command, the company will have a shortfall of command.
The company has discussed altering the minimum requirements, but to preserve quality & operational standards, this will not be done. Therefore in order to satisfy the company’s immediate & future growth plans the decision has been made that Emirates will provide an entry point for Direct Entry Captains. Consequentially, we will shortly commence advertising for Direct Entry Captains to join EK.
Emirates is committed to balancing Direct Entry Captains requirements against First Officers who meet command criteria so that the latter group are not unduly disadvantaged.
The minimum requirements for Direct Entry Captains will be:
- 10,000 total time on joining EK.
- 3,000 command, on type or wide-body, immediately prior to joining EK.
- 4,000 Hard Jet hours.
- Preference to type rated & instructors.
- Age under 56, at commencement date.
We recognise that there will be a number of existing First Officers within Emirates who meet the above criteria.
Therefore if you had 10,000 hours and 3,000 command (wide body or type), when you joined Emirates then we will consider your suitability for and immediate command.
If you believe that you meet the Direct Entry Criteria and would like to be considered then please contact your Fleet Manager as soon as possible."

"Eight years ago I was on a contract in your neck of the woods making $8500 US per month tax free, HOTAC inc., Transport inc., Business Class BA to and from the point of employment.

It wasn't even a heavy.
