They would hire you in a heartbeat. Several months back they were interviewing pilots with 2500 hours total time. PIC time is not a big issue with EK. They are more interested in the size of aircraft you have flown.

But you need to be aware of the fact that your roster at EK will probably be much more like a JAZZ CRJ roster than an AC 330/777 roster. Plan on 10-13 days off per month with lots of very fatiguing duties. If it were me I would ride out AC as long as possible. You will not get a quick command at EK and once you have made the move to the middle east your options will have dwindled. EK will always be there as an escape route for you. Whether or not you can handle Dubai long enough to get the upgrade and build some PIC time will be the big question. Good luck
