Emirates Operations

[ferhankaka]

I have been pondering, reasearching, bribing, beating my head against the wall much, but i have gotten no where...so in my eternal quest for an answer to this ever eluding question...i turn to the operations gurus of this infamous pprune forum to final release me of my turmoil and answer this question!

"HOW DO I GET TO BECOME AN OPERATIONS OFFICER AT EMIRATES"


okies so I couldnt have overstressed this question enough, but you get what I am trying to do when I am acting over dramatic!

....no I dont get what you want! Do you want to become a flight operations officer (like in flight dispatch) or do you want to become a ground operations officer (like ramp agent)???
Anyway the answer is almost the same...go to the career website and apply if there is something offered....whats the problem?

[ferhankaka]

Thanks Chi! well I can do both cause I have a Bachlors in Aviation and an FAA flt dispatch lisc.
I have been applying online for about 2 years now...since before i came to UAE. so online is not really working for me! but i have been hearing that u need like an insider.
there is alot of info on getting into their flgt crew but not alot on getting into their operations.
