Questions about Emirates
I'm a B757 Captain for a failing US Airline, with 13,000+ hours, lots of command time, and 46 years old. I'm thinking about applying at Emirates. Here are a couple questions for you guys in the know:
1. Is there a minimum contract time? I mean, if they hire me and give me a 777 type rating, I'm assuming they are not going to let me run to something better in 6 months. But I haven't found anything on their web site about contract length.
2. What is the average time between application completion and starting date for captain applicants? I'm just trying to plan ahead and time things correctly with other commitments here.
3. How many actual days off do you get in a month?
4. Can you get a block of 7 to 10 days off in a row without taking vacation?
I will appreciate any info you have.
Thanks,
Tim
