This is how it is, Direct Entry - possible certainty!! EK say you need 10,000hrs,3000hrs wide-body command directly preceeding joining EK plus a few other things. Now for accelerated command you have to have over 8000hrs ,2000hrs command on a/c over 55t directly before. This just changed over night with no consultation so lots of guys here who had previous commands on 757/767/A320 plus bigger a/c who thought they were on accelerated are now not!!
It seems that Emirates would rather take pilots from outside the company of whom it has little or no previous knowledge of, they have no proven simulator/training reports on, people they don't know and who also don't know any of the company rules and regs rather than upgrading current on type first officers who have decided to come out to the desert , who have proven track records with EK , who have had previous commands and have lots of genuine experience and who know the company rules and regs ( and believe me there are lots)
..................does it make sense??????
