Hellooooo
You are Kuwait A340 driver? Not familiar with Middle East carriers? You don't meet other middle eastern crews at your layover hotels? You don't know how to access airline websites to search for "captain" requirements? Are you a cadet pilot?
You can go to airline websites and find answers to your questions. If you don't know the website address, GOOGLE will get it for you. For example, at EK [I don't work there] this is the scoop, I found directly on their website under "Careers" "Flight Deck" "Minimum Requirements"
Requirements for Position of Direct Entry Captain:
A minimum of 8,000 hours total flying time
A minimum of 3,000 hours in command of multi-crew, multi-engine jet aircraft in excess of 55 tonnes MTOW
4,000 hours flown in multi-crew, multi-engine jet or turbo prop aircraft with MTOW of 10 tonnes or more, as P1 or P2
Preference will be given to candidates with Boeing EFIS experience who will be eligible to undertake a short transition course
Must be a current Captain
First Officers, qualified as Cruise Captains, do not meet the Direct Entry Captain requirements
ICAO ATPL
English language fluency (written and verbal comprehension)
Requirements for Position of First Officer - A330/A340 and B777
A minimum of 4,000 hours total flying time
A minimum of 2,000 hours multi-crew, multi-engined jet aircraft experience
ICAO ATPL
English language fluency (written and verbal comprehension)
Experience commensurate with age
Type rated would be advantageous
