EK does not differentiate between Mil and Civil time. As long as you meet the requirements for jet time you are elligible. The only catch is that most military guys find it difficult to get enough hours on a relevant type whilst still in the military, hence many go to a low cost carrier to build some hours before coming to EK. Additionally, many fast jet guys cant qualify because they dont meet the multi crew requirements. Obviously F111's do meet it, hence the TRI that was mentioned. F18's and other single seaters do not qualify.

I would imagine that it is only a matter of time before military turbo prop drivers are given a go. Cathay takes them and there is no question they are up to the job, so my guess is that they will get a run at EK as the market for pilots tightens
