What they are looking for at interview is somebody who can not only fly an aeroplane but who will fit in at Emirates and in Dubai and won't be complaining on PPrune after 6 months that it isn't what they expected.
BG, roll your eyes all you want but IF you get hired here we shall see if your dismissive attitude toward EK complainers remains. I will say that those hired 2009 onward should know what they are getting into and have no room to complain. Oh, it was a while back, but they didn't ask me about any of that stuff you mentioned.
