I don't understand what is going on at EK. I wanted to apply as FO, but since I only have A310 type (and 1500 on type), but not the 2000 Hrs over 20 tons, or whatever the new requirement is, I didn't apply. I have nearly 6000 Hrs and all the other experience.
I now see a posting for A310 typed people. Do the new higher minimums apply?
Why are they turning experienced people away with the silly new FO requirements. As it stands, if you have lots of experience, you don't want to wait years for a command,so won't apply, and if you don't have any experience, they don't want you anyway. Who is going to captain their aircraft 5 years from now?
I am confused, and I don't know whether I am now eligible to apply anyway.
I will be in Dubai for an interview (obviously not with Emirates), next week.
If someone could PM me prior to meeting in Dubai, I would appreciate it . It would be good to have an insider's perspective.
Thanks, Rosbif
