flyer19832007, unless you have time on a 30ton plus aircraft at the very least, dont count on EK giving you an interview.
Even then, i know people with a few 1000 hours on crj700 types who havent gotten an interview yet..
last time i heard they only wanted airbus/Boeing type rated crew, with the odd Embraer/CRJ guy getting a interview..
I am in a similar situation to you, 5400 hours now, 3600 on jet, but most of it sub 30 ton...
