I was wondering how difficult it is to get onboard with one of the ME airlines like Emirates, Qatar, Ethiad etc.?
Currently making the choice to switch from the military to civilian as my Airforce is having a big reorganisation and I don't want to wait if I am still needed in 2 years from now.
At the moment I am flying as PIC on the C17 Globemaster. (I am Dutch by the way) the aircraft type I fly would probably indicate that I am US :-)
On the Emirates website I read that you need 2500 hrs on a modern commercial aircraft. I read this as that I can't apply because the C17 is not commercial. Is this correct? The other airlines seem ok to apply at although in the current market I can imagine that they rather take type rated guys.
What suggestions do any of you guys have on which airline to apply for.
I am slightly familiar with Dubai and surroundings because sometimes we crewrest there. (I know they check if you have porn on your computer
) But how is Doha for example? What place is good for a family with young children?
Thanks in advance
