Folks
The comments below have just been published in a weekly update we receive from Emirates. I hope it is encouraging for those waiting to join us; good luck
''Pilot Selection Update-
After a six month break, Emirates pilot selection is planning to resume activities in February 2009. Currently there is a healthy and growing number of experienced pilots waiting to be invited to Dubai for the selection process.
Due to the existing large number of highly competitive applicants plus an anticipated future surge in applications, all prospective applicants should be advised not to delay their application.
There is also a large number of successful pilot applicants, who completed the selection process prior to August 2008, awaiting the allocation of a transition course date.
Course date allocation will probably commence once the training plan for 2009/2010 has been finalised."
