Recently I heard that a friend of mine who applied to EK failed to pass the interview. I was really surprised as this guy is a highly qualified Captain and has over 11,000 hours Airbus time in his pocket. He is only 42 yrs old and was a former military fast jet pilot. A truly gentleman in all aspects.
Maybe I am wrong, but this does not make any sense to me. What kind of professionals are EK looking for at the moment? Just good talkers? Someone who already knows by heart the whole screening process?
So why is so many people at EK (supposedly FOs) so concerned about this DEC polemic?
