Hello, thanks for the info! I’ve been in the process for EK for a long time and did my Hirevue 4 months ago, I know they are saturated with applications for the rest of the year and even more so I’m being patient… but I’ve seen that most of their new orders are from Boeing and only few (a350) are from Airbus, I’m an A320 type rated, do you think they are prioritizing Boeing pilots for hiring or when do you think they will resume hiring? I know is a little bit faster for people with family or friends working there but is not my case.
my status is “application under review” still, thanks in advance!
