I totally fail to see how
anyone can call a P3 Orion a "jet..." James, I think you need new glasses!
Regarding the EK jet hours requirement I definitely agree with EK's policy!
I regularly fly with people who only had military T/P experience before making the transition to an airline widebody (B744) jet, and for many that is just one bridge too far with regards to both energy and cockpit management. The only real positive thing about (4 engine) T/P experience: N-1 in the sim!
Go fly a few thousand hours of medium (short haul!) jet with a real airline and learn the trade of
civilian jet flying. It will make your life and EK's life a lot easier, and since
they are paying the bills
they put this requirement in place.
