If U know of any US guys without a degree, Atlas Air is hiring....no degree required.
Sorry to hear that EK is going downhill. They seem quite short-sighted, what with the pilot shortage worsening. It is really starting to affect the airlines in the US, and will soon be affecting both the US and global aviation even more. There will be a LOT LESS US pilots without jobs that are available for overseas work in the future.
I applied at EK several times in the past, and there were several times that I wanted to apply but didn't meet the minimums. Since then I have traveled to the ME quite a bit...I found out I prefer AUH to DXB. I am thinking about moving overseas, but probably to Asia....and not to the ME.

I was supposed to be in Oslo, yesterday, but instead was in Alabama....USAirways flight was so delayed I missed my positioning flight for the Oslo trip.
