How do they crew their larger aircraft in regards to a second officers?

Do they use FOs, cadets or what??
We don't employ second officers.

Three crew is 1 Captain, 2 F/Os.

We recently got approval to crew 4 man crews as one Captain 3 f/os, but for ops flexability still crew all ULR (JFK,LAX,SFO,IAH,YYZ and GRU) 2 Captains, 2 F/Os

I'd urge anyone looking to apply for Emirates to check the Middle East section of this forum for news and information. It makes for excellent reading. The money may look good in AUD, but Dubai isn't all sugar and spice.
True enough, there are certainly challenges here and many are not Happy. Some of us, however, are enjoying life and appreciating the advantages of being here.

It's not as good as it was, but it's still a good package.
