Just hired
Hello Brasilia Captain,
I've just got hired by EK in Oct and my class dates should be around Feb of 03. Like yourself, i am an American too. They do hire Americans and yes the competition is fierce but, I was fortunate to get called for an interview despite the lack of PIC time.
For your info my flight time at the time of interview was:
6700TT, 4700 Jet(744 and 320) all SIC, 1000 turboprop(ATR)
1000 PIC
Its a GREAT company and I can't wait to get start it.
cheers
