AFDS,
Seems to me you think your age gives you the RIGHT to be employed by Emirates, and I'd like to know where that rather abnoxious attitude comes from.
We currently have thousands of applications for what will be MAYBE 100 positions this year (and quite possibly less). The company will pick those that it believes will be most beneficial to the future of the company.
A 35yo with our minimum qualifications will potentially return 30 years of service for the investment in training, you a maximum of 10. It is also a statistical fact that people in your age braket have higher instances of medical problems and can be harder to train. It is an unpalletable fact of life that advancing age makes you less employable than an equally qualified youngster, but neither Emirates or the rest of the world owes you a living.
BTW, 13K is actually a little light on for your age.
