This is the email that the DEC candidates due for an interview have received a couple of weeks ago:
"It is with regret we are required to advise you that Emirates has suspended vacancies for Direct Entry Captains for the foreseeable future.
With respect to your scheduled assessment, there are two options:
1. If you wish to continue with the assessment for consideration as a First Officer only, please attend as per your scheduled arrangements.
2. You may elect to withdraw your candidacy for DEC. This in no way jeopardizes future consideration for any assessment with Emirates.
Please advise as soon as possible of your preferred option. Please send your response to
[email protected] you for your continued interest in Emirates. We look forward to hearing from you. Regards Emirates Pilot Recruitment"
