As a direct entry Captain on our Boeing 777 fleet you must meet these minimum requirements:
• 7000 hours total flying time
• 3000 hours command time on multi-crew, multi-engine commercial jet aircraft with a MTOW of 50 tonnes or more
• Currently type-rated as a commander on an aircraft such as B737 (or larger)
• Flown at least 150 hours in command in the 12 months before joining Emirates
• ICAO English level 5 or above (or equivalent)
• At least 1000 hours of wide body aircraft and long haul experience in the last 3 years
If your experience as a Captain exceeds our minimum requirements, you may be entitled to an enhanced package. This is based on:
• 7000 hours command time flying an aircraft with a MTOW of 50 tonnes or more; of which
• 4000 hours are on B744, B777 or B787 and;
• Currently type-rated as a commander on an aircraft such as B737 (or larger)
• 500 hours were flown in the last 12 months before joining Emirates
• ICAO English level 6 (or equivalent)
This is a no go for the loco pilots in the world. I've read about DEC from Ryan, Wizz, etc, but there is a requirement for wide body experience that few loco drivers have.
Am I missing something?
Who are they targeting?
