Emirates are now scraping about looking for pilots just like everyone else in the world. At any given standard, ultimately the most attractive, lifestyle, location and package will win. The chances of re-interview go up as the pool dries up.
Interestingly, EK do not seem to be lead turning recruitment at the moment for the introduction of the 380. The top management probably think the recruiters are crying wolf. After all, they predicted a crisis last year and nothing came of it. Why change things if they are not broken.
Of course we all have to thank airbus for not delivering the 380 on time. Had it been here now, 130 Capts and 100 F/Os would already be on the beasty. Think about the hole that would leave in the rest of the airline.
To keep flying they have 4 choices:
Change lifestyle - no!
Change location - possible with basing but over TC's dead body apparently!
Change Package - eventually but only as a last resort
Change Standard - they have been trying that but still are running short
Back to the thread, the powers that be think the 380 will be a great recruitment device and that guys will be throwing themselves at the chance to fly it. I think they will be wrong! That said, if you didn't fail the sim, your chances of reinterviewing will go up over the next year or so. After that, the airline will be forced to take steps to rectify things or wither. Whatever those steps may be they will push you further down the pile.
