jad- There are LOTS of factors. It's very competitive now with lots of applicants to fill fewer positions.

You filled in a long application- both what you said and how you said it will be assessed.

just a point for those excited about DEP on the A380- bear a few things in mind.

- The pay is no different.

- It's becoming a good life-style aircraft, but for now the 777 beats it for variety

- It would likely be a long time to upgrade (for now the 777 is still quicker)

- And- and this is the biggie- if you ever want to leave Emirates, it's not a Type rating that is going to get you a job elsewhere, while 777 or 330/340 pilots are constantly in demand.
