I think I am right in saying your tech exam is 30 questions multiple choice. You all get a different paper so cant cheat ! There are 6 sections as I remember, perf, wx, aerodynamics that sort of thing. Cant remember them all. The format has changed since I came through. They have a sieve here now after a day and a half. If you dont make the grade I think I am right in saying they stop you then and there and send you home. The rest continue with interview and sim ride.
My only advice I will strongly ask you to listen to is this. Please dont make your decision on what you read here. There are some bitter and twisted people who have either failed the interview or not happy with what they have in Dubai at the moment. Remember that EK is not for everyone. You have to want the job when you come here as you will be closely scrutinised. You can always say no later. This is a do or die situation and should you fail or say no then you dont get another chance. Make sure that you are ready to come and not just doing it on a whim.
Finally when you do get here be yourself and dont put up a front. There is a standard to be met but essentially there is no right or wrong answer. They want to see you as a team player but at the same time not too dominating.
You have to make your own mind up whether this is the place to be. Yes things have changed but essentially I really enjoy my time here. It is certainly better than what I had. There will be now a hundred people who would strongly disagree with what I have said. So it is your call and best of luck to you. If it is meant to be then it will happen.
One last thing, if the aviation world is that depressed and the big money has finished, you will be coming here for a lifestyle change. There are alot worse places to be but that depends on where you are coming from.
Good luck !
