Hi Lads,
Just thought I would update you on Emirates recruitment, we are getting a lot of very experienced applicants at the moment, the average would have to be around 15+ years flying many Captains from prev Airlines. Average flying hours in the 8-10,000 region. However that doesn't mean you won't get looked at with less, it just may take a bit of time. You do get prioritised depending on your various levels of experience, previous commands, Types, Type of flying etc.
As to the Sim ride, as someone who came off only ever having flown a 320, the 310 was no big Drama, fly it like any Airplane, keep an eye on Pitch & (hot tip this one), DO NOT trim it until clean, push and pull against the trim forces as you go from Flap 2-1-0, then trim as you accelerate, otherwise it can be man and machine in mortal combat....
Good luck, I've been here several years now, it ain't perfect but its bloody good. P.S. I am not with recruitment.
