Emirates
Hi people.
Im starting my PPL next week, and ive always wanted to become a airline pilot.
Just wondering do Emirates offer sponsorship?
Another question thats been bugging me, say i pass at Oxford or Jerez, get a frozen ATPL, and i go looking for work. Most airlines want a minimum flying hours, and a type rating, how am i suppose to get that when no airlines are willing to offer me a job?
Or am i wrong, do airlines offer placments for new FO's just come out of flight school?
The plane i really want to fly when im older is the boeing 777, but by the time im a qualified pilot, the Airbus A380 will be coming into service. For these aircraft, will i have to have thousands of hours under my belt? Or once out of flight school, i get the type rating for the B777 or A380, can i go straight into the flying or is this not possible?
Please bear in mind i am 16 and all this information will help me in my career choice as a airline pilot.
Thank you.
